Vintage British Cutie

This vintage brochure is from the UK in the 1940s and I adore the headline: "Candy is delicious food!" Who could argue with that? It then goes into money making opportunities but back to that cute headline (and wonderful typography). Making me hungry for some chocolate-y food... how about you Cuties??? xxxo

Boys Are Cute!

This clothing pattern cover from the 1940s stands out for both the fabulous illustrations and cute factor! Sporty yet chic, these boys are showing grown up style in their poses, but still boyish charm with their expressions. Hello There Cuties!!! xxxo

Bertie the Cutie

Bertie the Aeroplane was a character introduced to Australian audiences in 1945. He advertised Aeroplane Fruit Jellies and besides flying, could also sing! Bertie is still used in ads, but has been updated.. I prefer him pre-facelift! Hello There (vintage) Bertie the Cutie!!! xxxo

Christmas Story Cuties

"Told Under The Christmas Tree" is a book from the 1940s that features Santa telling his woodland friends "stories from around the world." The deer looks particularly interested in the book... perhaps as a snack? xxxo

Treat-Pak Cutie

"Any treat will stop a trick as long as it's from Post Treat-Pak" went this ad from the 1940s. Underneath a scary witch mask lurked this sweet child who would rather have cereal then candy... def wouldn't of been this chocoholic poster!!! xxxo

Shy is Cute

This little cutie is a shy little thing. Her big blue eyes and rosy cheeks are so adorable, you just want to pinch her. Not sure who made this gem, or even what era she's from. Her smart little yellow outfit and her ladylike hair style show seem to indicate the 1940s, but perhaps she's even older than that. Either way, she's a welcome addition to the Cutie family.

Back to Cutie

First full week "back to school" and found this interesting image... Sweet German birdie cuties in their outdoor school being taught by a little boy in "old elf man teacher" outfit. Weird? Yes! Beautifully illustrated in the 1940s? Yes! Kinda oddly cutie? Yes too! xxxo

Oopsie Cutie!

Sorry for the late post today... seemed like this was the appro apology too! This little guy is on a postcard from the 1940s and whatta cutie illustration he is. Sassy in his diapers, with an era-popular stuffed puppy friend, this little guy just makes me smile. Hello there cutie diaper boy!!! xxxo

Vintage Calendar Cuties

In 1944 you might of found this little missy on your wall calendar, holding onto her bonnet in the wind as well as her pet wire terrier. Similar to the children's book illustration, her knickers make a sly appearance too! Between her rosey face, chubby arms and expression... Sweet + innocent = cute! xxxo
