Love those old pictures, catching the new year coming in so many of them ago. Way cool.
These pictures show a way of life that I no longer recognise. Now New Year celebrations are down to a crowd of just two.
Great series of photos Karen.
These are are really great pictures Karen. The old home movie was funny too. I like the toasts. I was just listening to a programme on BBC Radio 4 about toasts. Here’s a couple they ended with: May your ceiling not fall in on you and may those seated below it not fall out! But I like: May your house always be too small for all your friends! I send that toast to you for the new Year.
I'll drink to that.
What a great series of New Year's Eve photographs! Here's a toast to you and wishes for the best in the New Year.
Happy New Year, Karen. I hope you celebrated in style too! Jo
Wonderful celebrations! Best wishes for 2012
It's funny how looking at the photos small and then enlarging them they become such different images. The first one I thought was movie stars, specifically John Payne and June Allison. Upon closer look they're just revelers with unknown faces. But boy they look like stars.
Wonderful selection.
