Choosing Jeans in 1961

I had the old Spiegel 1961 catalog out this morning and looked in the index for "jeans". What amazes me about this old book is what it does not have for sale that is out there for us now. Here is the lone pair of jeans for misses. Looks like more tailored, dressier pants were in order for leisure time and that jeans were for serious work. I can remember wearing jeans but only around home.

I would say these probably would be called "mom jeans" today, don't you think? The price is right for sure. (Click to enlarge)

Old Pictures of the People in My Life

In this blog, I will post pictures from the past of the many people in my life who I love and have loved. The initial post and any that are labeled Pearce Family refer to my mother's family. Dan and Maggie Pearce had five children, Nelle, Nan, my mother, Harry (Ham), Leah and Ed. They took a lot of pictures and I plan to post many of them. My brother has sent me many pictures over the internet this past week - some of which I haven't seen - and this has prompted me to set up this blog to display those wonderful old photos.

I will also be posting pictures of my family, my husband's family, and our family. Those posts will be labeled by the family's name in the list on the sidebar. I hope this is something that will be enjoyed by anyone who looks in on

my blog.

I will try and tell as much as I can remember about people and places and events and of course much of it will be inaccurate but really just having the great old photographs to look at is fun in itself. And I do know who lots of the folks are.

Enjoy.
