Backyard Swingers, SoCal, 1958

Couple sitting in a backyard swing

This is what happens when a swing set, sofa and backyard umbrella have a baby!

Suspended canvas, fringed three-passenger rockers are SO underrated!!!

    OOOO OOOOO OOOO! Those were so comfortable back then, my dad’s friends had one just like it in a flower print…I loved to lay on it and swing! They don’t make them like that anymore..what a shame! My mom used to wear peddle pushes like that with her catseye glasses and he Minnetonka moccasins. So stylish.
