    Old smells, that immeditately transport you back in time?

    Oh yes! Mimeographed papers, still damp from the machine! Haven't smelled that in years, but if I did, I would be swept immediately back to elementary school amongst all that purple inked and smelly paper. Good times!

    From mother to daughter

    My mother was given a pearl necklace by her brother that he got in Japan just after the war. He ran an RnR post in a Japanese hotel and became friends with the Japanese manager, who gave him the necklace as a token of friendship. I was given it for my wedding, and I will pass it on to my...

    Excuse me Miss, do you Blog?

    Awesome! I don't know why I wasn't already following you, but I am now. Hey, maybe we'll even be able to comment some day :)

    Excuse me Miss, do you Blog?

    Hi, Rue and Kate O! I got your comment, Rue, but like Kate, I can't comment back. I'm just stuck in that endless cycle of having to log in, but never being logged in when I'm looking at a blog...even my own. I've seen others, like Isis, say the problems are cleared up. So at least Kate and I are...

    Excuse me Miss, do you Blog?

    OK, what am I doing wrong? I know folks were having trouble commenting, but I still can't, even on my own blog! What's the deal. I try to comment, and when I hit post, it takes me to the log-in page. When I click on a blog to read, I'm no longer signed in. When I try to sign in, it says I AM...

    Lovely Vintage Fabrics

    I just posted about this old Life Magazine story on my blog, and thought I should share this particular image here with you all. Have you ever seen anything more awesome than the Coty fabric?? I want it so very badly!

    Show us your vintage patterns!

    As usual, Lady Day speaks the whole truth. I have some of the prettiest pot holders and rags going! And with every one is a lesson learned!

    Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds

    tonyb, that's really lovely. Have you seen the logs that have little tea light holes hollowed out. That would be pretty and cozy looking. And that's an easy DIY project!

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I just watched Enid, about Enid Blyton with Helena Bonham Carter in the title role. Very interesting...

    Anyone else collect vintage makeup? Post pics!

    Gorgeous photos all! I adore stuff like this, although I don't really have much. You can tell the quality of some of it because it still smells so dreamy. Except for old rancid lipstick! But I even kind of like that smell because I used to play in my mother's and grandmother's old make up (why...

    Ladies show us your best.

    Annie, you look fabulous! My teenage daughter, only a bit younger than you, commented on your photo: "She looks so mature. But not bad-mature like girls who dress trashy. Yay vintage! See, girls should see that if they want to dress like grown-ups, they should do it vintage and be pretty!"...

    Gas/wood stove

    That is a great stove! We had one very much like that when I was a kid. It was awesome, and I miss it all the time. I've been looking for one since I've been an adult... so GREAT find! Enjoy! It will be gorgeous when it's cleaned up (and you'll HAVE to show us!).

    We were watching the slaughter. Slainte! (as I'm sure there was a toast going on somewhere!)

    The ones that got away

    $89 plus shipping. It was billed as a 40s Swirl, too. Probably well worth it, but well out of my range, too! Oh well.

    In love with a book!

    Ooooh, AngelJenny, I am so jealous! I collect those kinds of books from the turn of the century to the 1960s. I'll have to keep my eye out for another collection like yours. Some of the advice will strike you as a bit silly, and then other stuff you'll think, "hmmm, why did no one ever tell me...
