I have a special place in my heart for vintage photos. Luckily, I have a nice assortment for posting here on my new blog. Here's a picture that I came across recently. It's from late 1940s. I think that's a doll of some sort in her hands there, I hope it's not a real kid. I'll be putting more up like this until I sort out my own stuff to post.
I can't say where this photo came from (I'm even blacking out the eyes! to protect the innocent), nor will I divulge where most of the photos I will be posting are from, unless they are mine or my families. I'll try and respect the privacy of the posted...somewhat.
Back to work.

i was told that there were many, many young mothers of that era who used to give their unwanted babies away to charities and social engineering schemes. and when they finally got their maternal instincts back, they would stitch together those creepy keepsake dolls and tend to them like they were real babies. my great-great grandfather called them "chicken-wire" mothers.
