One of my grandads smoked for a long time after the war and I remember one of them smoking until I was a teenager.<br /><br />Hope that you are having fun with your Etsy shop, you have some lovely pieces.Kate-Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15664293299445754159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5848701498694248195.post-75847462220764795242014-05-12T14:03:13.577-07:002014-05-12T14:03:13.577-07:00Thank you Gillian.

I think the contrast between what we would see today is amazing.Kate-Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15664293299445754159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5848701498694248195.post-70978743632714904262014-05-12T14:01:27.093-07:002014-05-12T14:01:27.093-07:00That tank top is unflattering, strange, as most of...That tank top is unflattering, strange, as most of the patterns are so stylish.

Does anyone smoke a pipe these days I wonder? And you'd just never see a model smoking in a advert these days, would you. xGillian Roehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05080123177116154219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5848701498694248195.post-9185619532143798002014-05-09T18:45:24.015-07:002014-05-09T18:45:24.015-07:00This really make me think of both of my grandfathe...This really make me think of both of my grandfathers, who each smoked in their youth (and one until he passed in 1990). It's amazing in a way, to us just a few short decades later, so see how commonplace and encouraged/accepted smoking was. Could you imagine if ads, pattern covers, etc were still like this today? There would likely be a major public outcry!<br /><br />I always really enjoy your great roundups like this. Thank you for finding another interesting and enjoyable theme and sharing it with us, dear Kate.<br /><br />♥ Jessica <br /><br />*PS* Many (!) thanks as well for each and every one of your recent blog comments. I'm sorry that Etsy shop going ons have made me a bit MIA as of late and thus not always able to comment on your posts. Hopefully things will be back on track there soon.
