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!
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...
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...
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...
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!
I really enjoy what you all do on your blogs! I have jumped into the mix... it's still getting started, but mine is http://www.whydidwestopdoingthat.blogspot.com
I'd love some feedback from anyone who's willing!
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!
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...
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!"...
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!).
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...
