    Where is AtomicEraTom ?

    I suppose that would make sense. Regardless:*yucky*

    Where is AtomicEraTom ?

    Hmmm, conflicting info. That article states that generic Beer was brewed by Miller. I actually remember reading on the can that it was brewed by Falstaff.

    Where is AtomicEraTom ?

    Oh, dear. I remember drinking that (once). It was made by Falstaff. "Beer... Ask for it by name."

    What coffee or tea did you drink today?

    I have been enjoying an Amazon purchase (since it's not sold in stores in my area): Community Coffee in the Bread Pudding flavor. Apparently this flavor is seasonal only. Delicious!

    1940s Shoe Shine box with KIWI polish tins Shoe shine boxes aren't uncommon finds in the thrift but I thought this was a particularly nice set. It even came in what is likely the original shipping box (such a perfect fit) which states on it, "FOR DEFENSE, SAVE and SELL this empty carton as...

    Show Us Your OVERCOATS

    The union label is nearly unreadable on this handsome heavy overcoat so I can't tell if it says 1936 or 1939 but I'm thinking it is from the 1940s. Please can someone tell me the purpose of the ribbon-like strap on the inner chest area? It is only sewn down on each end. Thanks!

    Excuse me Miss, do you Blog?

    Judy has traveled by ship from England to Norway and caught a glimpse of King Olaf only a week after his consecration. Editing to add two more posts from Norway: visiting Bergen, Voss, and Stalheim; and Balestrand.

    Show us your TIES

    Maybe this will satisfy both camps: conservative on one side and daring on the other! I was shuffling through the ties at my local thrift and happened to notice this one. A search of peek-a-boo ties suggests this might be Jayne Mansfield?? No maker's label but an RN number search comes...

    She really is an inspiration. The tone of the journal is so upbeat even when things go frustratingly wrong (lost luggage, etc). It never ceases to amaze me the things a family will sell when a loved-one passes away. Photos, journals, etc are fairly common at local estate sales. (Though this one...

    I posted about this in the "Excuse me, Miss, do you blog?" thread, but in case any of you don't read that: I picked up a handwritten 1958 travel journal at a local estate sale (the author has passed away). Twenty-four-year-old American Judy B graduated from university and set off on a...

    Excuse me Miss, do you Blog?

    Oh, yes, she must have come from a fairly wealthy family. As I note on the "About Judy" page, she sets off on her two-month trip with $1000 US in traveler's checks for spending money and yet still ends up asking Dad for $200 more... twice!

    Thank you! And I love the Burda dress #9279 in your November 5 post, it's gorgeous!

    Excuse me Miss, do you Blog?

    I have a new blog revolving around a vintage 1958 handwritten travel diary that I purchased at a local estate sale (the original author has passed away). Judy B graduated from university, left America, and toured Europe for two months, visiting many wonderful places and meeting interesting...

    Anyone have a maid when growing up?

    We didn't have a maid but I do remember an "old lady" (looking back, she was probably in her 60s) from down the street coming every Tuesday morning just to do the ironing. Dad was a white collar worker with one of the car companies (we're in the Detroit area) but we lived very frugally. Mom...
