Do some of you remember the windows of the department stores from years ago? Especially at Christmas? For those of you who are too young, they went all out on decorating the windows and everyone went downtown at night to view the beautifully decorated windows full of all the latest toys. My memories are from the late 50's and early 60's. It was magical and if the snow was falling, all the better! Can you see the Shirley temple doll to the far right? And a view from above with the old 1920's automobiles...no I'm not that old but I do love these old cars.... Notice the Christmas trees all lined up on the ledge of the building. All 4 images are of the old Dayton's Department store in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota. How about a new fox stole for Christmas? And my favorite...the 1920's wedding dresses...notice the brides dress middle right! Reminds me of that beautiful 1920's wedding dress that I found late this summer at the yard sale. Could she have seen it in a window and said "that is the dress I want for my wedding!" All the pictures above were from this link. Mr. Wild brought home the article out of the Minneapolis Star and Tribune. My awesome find this summer...the 1920's wedding dress...If you missed it...more about my post here. Thanks for stopping!
