Good morning, and welcome to another Saturday Snapshot event, hosted by Alyce, At Home With Books.
We have another opportunity to spark some creativity and share photos we’ve taken, or which have been taken by family or friends.
Share them and link up, if you wish to join in.
This week, I searched the old photo albums again, because I was thinking of a time when my daughter’s hair went from waist-length to a very short pixie cut, compliments of her dad.
That very next week or so, we had a get-together of family members who had traveled to our city. Here are some of those shots, spotlighting her “new look,” as she enjoyed her cousins in the park.
There she is, on the far right, in case you didn’t guess! LOL
In the photo are her cousins and her uncle. The boys don’t seem to be enjoying the photo op very much.
That picture was snapped in 1982.
This next one shows me (on the right), with my brother and the girls.
What did you find this week? Share, please!

How cute she was and I bet she could get a lot more done with shorter hair (or get into a lot more things)! LOL
I remember the haircut that you had, sort of cupped around the face. 1982, huh? That’s the year I spent mostly pregnant. We had record heat that summer here in Austin too (like this year). 🙂

I think I was trying to imitate Bonnie Franklin, on One Day at a Time, but my hair was too fine for that look! And yes, that was a hot summer. June, and we hoped the park would make us feel cooler.
My daughter did look cute, but she hated the cut. Later she would take charge of her own hair (in protest) and grew up to be a hair stylist. LOL Thanks for stopping by, Kay.

I always wished I could wear that style, but it doesn’t work on me! Thanks for stopping by, Kaye.

What a cute photo. Laurel, isn’t it funny the styles back then. You look taller than I imagined. You must have had your hands full with 4 little ones.

Oh, thanks, Diane…and yes, I did have my hands full. I was working long days, too. Back then (before I became the “shrinking woman” LOL), I was 5’9″. Then I wore heels…and oh, my, I’m noticing that that was a really ugly purse!

I’m not sure which decade was worse: the seventies or the eighties! LOL

Were you sad that her long hair was gone? The pixie is a great haircut for little girls.

Oh, I was, Paulita…so was she! But I tried to focus on the fact that she could wear the style well. And put her in dresses a lot more! Thanks for stopping by.

Aw, I think her hair is super cute! Maybe because I pretty much had a similar haircut as a child of the 80s.

I think so, too, Dixie…once I got over the shock, I loved it! Thanks for stopping by.

Me, too, Sheila…except for the “blurry” images…LOL. Digital shots are a definite improvement, aren’t they? Thanks for stopping by.

Cute cut! I love looking back at old photos – well, not the ones of me perhaps. 🙂

Me, too, Margaret. My mom used to have boxes and boxes of old photos that never made it into the albums, and on a rainy day, I loved going through them.
Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks, Alyce, what a sweet thing to say. My daughter wasn’t crazy about the hairstyle, but she got over it.

Love the ’70s photos! We have many that look just like that
LikeLike
Yes, I love them, too. The only downside is that many of them fade with age, and because they’re not digital, they aren’t always very clear.
But I love soaking up the memories. Thanks for stopping by, Helen.

Very cute look! I had one very similar…my hair dresser called it a “Doroty Hamill” haircut. I didn’t think I looked as cute as Dorothy Hamill though. Lol.

Ah, yes, I do recall the “Dorothy Hamill” moniker for that look! Thanks for stopping by, Bev.

I had hair so long I could sit on it. Then one day my mom’s friend who was supposed to trim it cut it up to my ears. We were all upset! My dad thought I was one of my friends when he came home.
Love all these pics from the past of yours!
Here’s My Snapshot

I can totally relate to that feeling. I wasn’t happy about the haircut, but luckily she didn’t look too bad….Thanks for stopping by, Vicki.

I love these old photos. I remember back then when all the little girls had those long dresses and making one for my daughter. And I remember cutting her hair short too.
LikeLike
Until the haircut, my daughter mostly wore pants. But the short hair could have led to “cute boy” remarks, so out came the dresses!
Thanks for stopping by, Cat.

A lot of little girls had that hair style in the early ’80s. I always thought it was cute and practical too.
