    fireworks and pets

    We have two scared dogs inside and two scared horses outside. We're going back and forth with hugs and treats. It is hoped the neighbors will be going to bed soon and/or are out of money for more fireworks.

    What's on Your DVR?

    I recorded The Long, Long Trailer and watched it today. That, my friends, is a funny, funny movie.

    She Bear... I need new glasses! That's not green peas at all. Alligators! Right? (yeah... making an appointment first thing in the morning with the eye doctor!)

    Vintage Table Fan Find

    The RIBBONAIRE! That is the fan I'm after! (There are two on ebay right now...) Apparently Singer made them in the late 40s. Helps to have a name to search for!

    She Bear, TOOOOO cute! I love it! I think the green panels are very "make do and mend" 40s. Love that pea fabric and am wishing I had it to make the wrap dress I made yesterday instead of the yucky stuff I had!

    Barflys, what kind of atmosphere do you prefer?

    The place we like to go to is perfect. It's a long and very narrow bar, with a gorgeous old bar that takes up most of the space. There are TVs on sports, but they're all on mute, so there can be conversation. They serve food--but on a very limited and perfect menu. No smoking (sorry, folks!). My...

    candid film of a South dakota town in 38-39

    Mesmerizing! Almost feels like you could chat to those folks as they walk past... Some thoughts: 1. People have always been "nothing but folks," as my mother would say. (like mugging for and/or hiding from the camera!) 2. I'd love to live in a town with such a bustling downtown! 3. How...

    Hair rats

    I've never forgotten David Letterman joking a few years back about hair. He said people love hair, call it the crowning glory, stress over losing their hair, comment on the beauty of women's hair, stroke each other's hair, etc., but then, as soon as a single hair becomes unattached from a head...

    Inky, Great outfit! I doubt you guys were over dressed--everyone else were UNDER dressed! I'm sure you set a fine example for future reunions :eusa_clap By the way, how did your brown dress work out?

    Price of vintage on the up!

    I've never had a problem shipping to Austrailia from my shop, and I'm always honest on the forms. Of course, I don't say "used." But I list the items and have never had so much as a query. In fact, I've had stuff get to Austrailia faster than to California! (I've also had something take two...

    The Darling Buds Of May

    Oh, and then there's also Goodnight, Sweetheart. That had some great 40s flavor. And don't we all wish we could find that alley back in time?

    Boots discontinued this line? Aww... Well, Target still has it here, I believe.

    "Doctor Who," He's Back and it's About Time!

    Johnny Depp as the "big screen" Doctor? I have to ponder this a while! http://www.tor.com/blogs/2010/06/johnny-depp-starring-in-big-screen-doctor-who-adaptation#113852 Chances are it's a load of hooey... but Johnny Depp and Russell T Davies? Twould be entertaining!

    The Darling Buds Of May

    Oh, I LOVE that show! Two things about it will always stick in my memory: the "dinner baths" they have, and in one episode, Catherine Zeta Jones' character was trying to sell Tupperware to make some money. All the older women were appalled at the smell of the plastic and one said, "Oh, I...

    Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds

    Wow... see the conversations going on in the Powder Room right now on the high price and scarcity of vintage. Great score! They are out there! :eusa_clap

    Price of vintage on the up!

    Lady Day, you summed it up perfectly. As with the others, I used to go to any random thrift store and pick up amazing things (and I was the size to wear most of it, too!). But we're 25 years on now and those things have been bought or thrown away by now. But those who are into vintage for a...

    Just gotta rant...vintage sellers who drive me nuts!

    Well said, Lauren. After all, sellers *do* sell to "just make a profit." That's why they're sellers. As for auction buying (online or otherwise), I finally learned myself a little lesson. I used to get mad when I'd be trying to get a bargain, and some *dealer* would outbid me. I'd think...

    "Doctor Who," He's Back and it's About Time!

    Miss Scarlet, I'm with ya... Matt Smith is OK... just OK. I find Amy annoying. My kids and I were talking the other day... the storylines in this series leave us saying, Oh, OK... Rory will be back at some point... River Song will be back at some point... etc. There's no real element of...

    Would you marry Don Draper?

    Oh, but isn't Don that bad boy with the deep wounds that so many women think they can nurse/mother into being a good boy for them? Of course, I like to think I'd be more like Peggy (sans icky Pete!!) and have a mutual admiration thing with Don. Or like Joan's relationship with Don. I think...

    What's On Your Vanity Table?....

    Oh, fuzzylizzie, what a beautiful, beautiful thing to behold. Does it still smell good? I bet it does!
