    I have been searching high and low and haven't been able to find what I'm looking for, a vintage fashion image (ad or just photo, color or black & white) of a woman in a winter, Christmas or holiday setting of some sort. My dream image would be a room decked out for a party with the woman fairly prominent in the photo. I'd rather not go outdoors, more a dressy indoor shot. The era needs to be 40s (best) or 50s.

    I found I have no December issues of anything! Must do something about that!!

    Thank you for looking!

    Do you care if there are children in the picture?

    Hmm, probably best to have it be just the one woman. I am going to attempt (all fingers crossed!) to use the setting and trade a vintage-style photo of myself in for the woman. I see it working best with no other person. Thank you for looking Linda!

    Well I have women's journal for Nov and Dec '45 and would you believe it - they choose to feature presents to knit yourself and spring fashions!

    I have a black and white shot of the Roosevelts at home around a christmas tree, but that may not be quite the thing.

    Will try again!

    Thank you for your search, Harriet and Linda, whatever you have is better than what I have! Maybe I'm being too picky about my dream shot!

    Maggie, I didn't sharpen them or anything so you can play with them as you like.

    I love the one with the tree too! Although she looks a little sad, but you're putting in your face...so that will certainly uplift the shot.

    Imagine getting all dreamy eyed about a toaster!!!

    Times have changed.

    I can't believe it's December on Friday...
