    What does a Vintage Baby Girl & Nursery need?

    first off... congratulations!!! as mentioned above, i would be careful of things that can be safety hazards. while some people probably thing they're overblown, i don't think you can be TOO careful with babies/small children. i spend a lot of time with small children and am always amazed at...

    Movie Nightmares??

    be warned though that it's not a big "things jump out at you" type of movie though. the fear-induction is much more subtle ;)

    Movie Nightmares??

    ok, this movie scared the heck out of me: Session 9. no nightmares, but i had to work to keep it out of my brain for weeks afterward.

    Scraps from the past

    hmm, maybe i'll experiment a little with the moisture. unfortunately there's not enough showing to photograph! it was interesting to learn that my bedroom was finished in 1913 though - the house was built in 1897 but i had a feeling my room was a *little* newer than that.

    What Make You Nostalgic?

    the smell of my grandma's house at christmas from when i was a child. i have two poinsettia-shaped candles that still hold this smell, and occasionally i get a whiff of it when i find vintage christmas stuff at thrift stores. i cannot put my finger on it. but man, what a happy smell for me!

    Scraps from the past

    wow, this is AWESOME. thank you for posting! my bedroom closets (kind of unfinished in spots) have 1913 newspapers visible in some spots - they were used as insulation. unfortunately they would rip if i tried to remove them though.

    Show us your vintage patterns!

    i concur! the third (and most complicated) thing i ever made was a top from a 1941 blank pattern. i used a vintage "how to sew" book, which assumed the use of blank patterns and that helped A LOT. as for belt buckles (along with buttons on the original card), i buy cute vintage ones when i find...

    Your Favorite Sandwiches?

    my absolutely favorite sandwich comes from the red and black cafe in portland. it's called a "TLT" or "TLP" - tempeh bacon, lettuce and either tomato or roasted pepper, with herbed veganaise on sourdough. mmmm. another favorite grilled sandwich that i like to make myself is marinated grilled...

    Vintage Bangs

    snookie, i haven't done it in ages, but years ago (my hair was at least shoulder length at the time) i managed to pull something like this off. after taking out a tight pincurl set, i played around with piling the front pieces up and pinning them down where i wanted them. somehow they managed to...

    Show us your hair do's....

    i love it! you pulled off this hairdo without it looking *at all* costumey, which it seems hairdo's like this often do.

    Vintage Bangs

    the book "Blueprints of fashion" has the best list in the back - it tells which pattern numbers came out in which year! i have the 40s one, there is also a 50s book as well that i don't have, i'd assume it has a similar listing for 50s patterns. maybe someone knows of an online resource...

    Vintage Desecration - Things Altered/Repurposed, and a Vintage Treasure Lost Forever.

    here's the thing though about creatively revamped clothing... most of the stuff that ends up reused in this matter is literally on it's way to the landfill, to be shredded and used as insulation or what-have-you, or to be resold for a small profit in africa. i know several people who make and...
