A perm when I was 14 - I wanted beautiful softy curling locks - the end result was looking like Deirdre Barlow from Coronation Street:
Ok - maybe not that bad - but not far off.
I literally ran out of the salon pulling at my hair and wishing it gone - the hairdresser had layered my...
Thanks Lolly! I came across the piece of stationary in an Etsy shop that sells autographs. I did some research and apparently Audrey had a temporary two room apartment in that neighbourhood when she was filming Sabrina.:cool:
I am delighted to now own a piece of Audrey Hepburn's personal stationary:
This little Flapper Girl from 1925 signed by attendees at the Grattenburg Inn in 1925 (think it was a sorority do) - names that you don't really come across anymore like Mildred and Esther - all in beautiful...
Well apparently a woman's weight can fluctuate by 5 pounds every day due to water retention etc. so I wouldn't pay too much attention to it.
I don't think that your body definitely changes every 7 years - it depends on how well you look after yourself, whether you have children, stress...
It was pretty good - an interesting storyline (wonder if it influenced The Life of David Gale in any way) and a nice twist (although some small plot holes) - not the greatest Fritz Lang movie - I much preferred the brilliant and overlooked While the City Sleeps (one of my favourite movies) also...
I'm delighted to report that yes, it was still there (not too much of a rush on 30's furniture I guess!) - it's going to spend the next few months in my Mum's garage as we have no space for it at the moment. Looking at it again (much closer) you really appreciate it for the fine piece of...
Rue - your home is beautiful and so cosy looking - the archway separating the two rooms - well, I just love it - what an unusual shape! Looking forward to seeing more photos when you are unpacked!
Thanks Miss Sofia! You read my mind about the neckline of the coat - perfect for nice scarves!
That's weird about your experiences with barometers - reminds me of something similar that happens to a friend of mine - she can't wear a watch as they all just stop working but if someone else...
How cool! We expect pictures Miss S!!!!!!
I love a good Hallowe'en party - last time my husband and I went as Bonnie & Clyde and one prior to that I went as my FL namesake - a pretty easy costume to put together....
Finally found a black coat for Winter - this one from I Magnin:
This Garay purse - perhaps unused - love the little suns or stars pattern:
Taylor Art Deco Bakelite Aneroid Barometer Thermometer Humidity Gauge - 1926 Patent - still working:
This lovely pitcher to add to my...
This is so true - a prime example being since having my daughter I have become so aware of the criticism piled on women (on internet forums etc.) by other women for how they (a) chose to have their baby (b) how they decide to feed it (bottle vs breast being the one that brings out the worst in...
