Allee Willis’ Kitsch O’ The Day – Happy Mother’s Day In Matching Outfits

Dated Mother’s Day, 1951, this is a photo of the Smith family who lived in my house long before I bought it. My driveway never looked so good. Neither did mom, matching her family like a set of pristine bowling pins or Melmac plates.

oh wow…i’m not ashamed to say it, I want my life to look like that…..
I really want to know what became of them..
OMG – they owned that trailer before my parents did. But nothing in my family ever matched – except the neuroses.
fabulous! and you have to know that she MADE all of those shirts on her own sewing machine with her own hands and she chose the fabric herself!
precious.
I agree that I want to know what happened to them but I also would love to see what that tree looks like now. It’s had to have been 50 years at least and they had just planted it. A photo would be great if the tree still exists.
John- That tree didn’t even make it to 1980 when I moved in. My next-door neighbors, whose parents built their house and were wee ol’ ladies by the time I moved in, were not especially adept at gardening.
