    Back to zits

    I'd stick with the Proactiv if I was you - I tried the "natural" route for years, listening to these people (the stuff I slopped onto my face, you wouldn't believe!) Finaly I gave in and went to the doctors and got some Differin and Antibiotics. Well waddya know - doctors actually know what...

    Ode to a hot water bottle.

    Mine's on regular service now again - along with 2 fleece blankets and lovely thick bedsocks. Sadly it does mean in the morning that one has to crawl out of bed and leave the still cozily warm hot water bottle behind. Curse the freezing weather. I'm intrigued as to your saying "going...

    How long before fur coats fall to pieces?

    Thank you, you've been really helpful :) I'll follow the advice getting hold of the number of a furrier - I think you've all told me everything I need to know, but you never know what details experts can add.

    Handsome Fellas!

    MarieAnne, I must say your husband is gorgeous, especially in the first picture. And congratulations of having such a beautiful bonny girl, she's lovely!

    How long before fur coats fall to pieces?

    This may seem an incredibly random question, and I'm afraid it is - it's a very important plot device for something I'm currently writing. I've googled and drawn a blank, but I figured many people on here are interested in pre-golden era stuff, so you might know. If a fur coat is locked in a...

    Hand Cream & Gloves

    I'm sadly lacking in cotton gloves (or indeed any gloves), but I've discovered trainer socks work just as well. Although I'm sure most of you lovely ladies are far to elegant to have trainer socks. What can I say, I'm new to vintage - I'll improve! I use Dove Rich Creme - it's too greasy to...

    Sewing Lessons & FAQ

    For the would-be seamstress... I've just found this for all of us out there who want to learn to sew but have no idea where to start - 1926—The New-Way Course in Fashionable Clothes-Making From 1926 - A bit early for the FL, but it's interesting all the same. And with lesson titles...

    Custom made vintage repros...

    Oh, I WANT! I'd order one right away if it wasn't for the cost of shipping - £24, that's almost as much as the suit itself. Is there no way of having it shipped by a cheaper option, like 2nd class or something? I don't know if I can justify it... ...but I so want!

    Why don't we write letters anymore?

    Don't forget that you wouldn't get the expensive "designer" cards that you get nowadays, they'd be hand made ones which would be much cheaper. I found a box of cards from my Great Grandmother and they had flowers that she'd pressed on them, or little sketches. They'd only have cost pennies even...

    Why don't we write letters anymore?

    Luckily, in my quintessentially English town, I have a little red postbox round every corner, but no one to write to or receive letters from. I'd be your pen pal, I haven't had one for years either lol. We should set up a FL pen pal service thingy, to revive the vintage art of letter writing.

    What is a Lady?

    I agree that smoking is a pretty dumb thing to do, but you have to admit that in the old film noirs they don't half look elegant when they smoke. It was a different time - smoking was even thought to be good for you back then.

    Why don't we write letters anymore?

    And I say this as an affirmed member of the internet generation. Emails are all very well for arranging meet ups and keeping up to date with events, but they're not the same as letters. You just have to read the letters by Oscar Wilde or the collection of letters called 84 Charing Cross Road...

    Cold Cream- Brands and advice!

    Sure, I'll send it to you if you want - it's only a couple of quid for posting, I don't mind. But I'm afraid you'll have to wait until I've made enough posts that you can PM me with your address:) I'm in love with Cold Cream! My nose blackheads, which I've had since I was 12, have gone! I...

    Hair and Makeup Booklet, Need photos!

    Ooh, I'd also love a copy if you wouldn't mind, if you're sending it out to quite a few people. I'll have to get posting so I can PM you with my email address.

    Cold Cream- Brands and advice!

    Yes, it has a green and white box. I wonder why they put the "cleanser" at the end. I suppose non-vintage people, like me, wouldn't know what to do with it otherwise lol. Oh dear, I don't think I'll use the rosewater and glycerin then. My face breaks out at the slightest provocation. I'll just...

    Cold Cream- Brands and advice!

    Sorry for the double post - well anyway, I went a bit crazy with my pocket money in Boots, and I now have Pond's Cold Cream Cleanser - is this the right stuff? I wasn't sure if it was the same. Well, if it's not I also have the Boots Cold Cream in the gorgeous packaging, as well as the Boot's...

    Cold Cream- Brands and advice!

    I'm coming here from the OCM - I've done it for a few months now, and although it was great in the honeymoon period, and is still great on the areas of my face without acne(very small areas...), I think overall the condition of my skin has got slightly worse. Not knocking the OCM, just don't...
