Even More Queenliness

Royal Mail releases Diamond Jubilee stamps

My second installment of wonderful images from my grandparents’ Coronation Souvenir magazine from June 1953…

I wish I could just share the whole magazine with you, but these are some of my favorite images…

Isn’t this wonderful?  The whole family on the balcony together…doesn’t Elizabeth look happy?

Such adorable ads were found on these pages, as well…here’s one for a whitening powder…

…both dresses look pretty white to me!

And more history to see--

My daughter pointed out that she doesn’t think she’s ever seen a picture of Lady Churchill—I don’t think I have either, come to think of it!

So much lovely color here and there in a mostly black & white publication…

And a few more ads to share…

And a product I use whenever I can find it—just the think for a nice trifle…

I actually just bought a tin of it last week at Cost Plus before I’d photographed images for the post—serendipity!

Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee

See you soon with something new…
