1950s High Rise


This week's challenge at CD Sunday is 1950s. My mum must have been a teenager in the 1950s, but I doubt whether Grimsby was this groovy. (And that's not Dock Tower through the window).

I used images from  Daisy Trail /Craft Artist 50s Fever and My Craft Studio Fab Glam Fifties. Sorry about the shadows - taking the photo in artificial light - the days are getting shorter already and most of the daylight is while I'm at work!

As well as CD Sunday, I'd like to enter:

    Great 50's image. That record player is just like the one we had. Wow - we didn't even have to wind it up like we did on the one we had before.
    Thank you for joiningg in the challenge.

    Oh this is wonderful, a very true image of a young teenager, how do I know, I think it could be me. A Dansette record player and 45s on the floor. thanks for being with us in the 1950s at CD Sunday Challenges. Caz

    A great design, super image of a teenager. I do remember having 45's (still have them) and a record player similar to this but it was the end of the 1950's foe me. Thanks for joining us at CD Sunday this week.

    Haha definitely doesn't look like Grimsby (and I love Grimsby!) but love the retro feel. Thanks for sharing with us this week over at Little Red Wagon.
