Sepia Saturday 246 - vintage advertisements for tents

I was initially stumped by this week's Sepia Saturday theme, but following a search through some of my vintage magazines I came across these two vintage advertisements on the theme of tents and camping, and also managed to get a motorbike related advert in too, so doubly on theme.

I lobe the concept of the seaside bathing tent, providing comfort and convenience for seaside pleasures.

Sepia Saturday 246 - vintage perfume advertisement

Having been absent from this blog and also Sepia Saturday for a number of months now, I thought it was time I made a reappearance. I've gone for poppies, with this vintage advertisement for Californian Poppy perfume, taken from a 1940's edition of Picturegoer magazine.

Sepia Saturday 156 - a kiss

A bit rushed for time this week, but just a few minutes before I need to go and catch the train into London. I was initially stuck for a kiss related picture for this week's Sepia Saturday but then I remembered my Picturegoer magazines, which had a few to choose from.I eventually decided on this picture of Errol Flynn and Faye Emerson in the 1944 film Uncertain Glory. Not quite as passionate a kiss as in Alan's theme-setting picture, but probably I guess what was called romantic or charming at the time ... although Flynn does look like a bit of a cad or a bounder in this shot.
