08 November 09
Kittens, retro kids and fashionable ladies from the past are all I want to look at on the internets lately. How great are The Commons?

Such great vintage images! I especially love the series of the dog and cats jumping and the one of the little girl sleeping with the dolls is so lovely.

Ah, “The Commons” is great. Have you ever seen the “My Parents Were Awesome” tumblr? You may like some of the photographs there as well, they’re cute.
