What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
I said it before. I'll say it again...such magnificent hats on this thread! Thank you all for sharing them with us. It's so windy up here this afternoon that I think I'll have to go with a beret for my evening stroll. Happy New Year! -

Making a traditional Sunday ragu. Fills the house with the most delightful smells.- DNO

Picture Frames
Frankly, for black and white photos it's tough to beat a classic plain black or stained wood frame with a good sized white, acid free matt. Use a large matt. On an 8x10 I would tend to have at least 4" of matt on three sides, and 5" at the bottom. If your heart is set on vintage frames...- DNO

Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.
Thanks JP. Just tried some Novus #2 and it cleaned up quite nice. Gave it back some of its lustre.- DNO

Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.
Thanks for the tip. I have some Novus cleaner that I use to clean up artwork. I'll give it a try. The case isn't gold, but you're right, the crown is original to the watch. I believe my father bought it in the mid-50's (1956 or so).- DNO

Statuesque Hats
Great idea Randall. Not quite a hat on a sculpture...more like life imitating art in this case. Literally. -
Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.
Lately I've been wearing my father's old Omega Seamaster. It could use a new crystal and a good cleaning but I don't really know a reliable local place that could do this. I like it anyway.- DNO

Jeeves and Wooster
Loved Laurie as Wooster, although it's tough to beat his performance in the various Blackadder series. I read all the Wodehouse books years ago. My absolute spot-on favourite story was Goodbye to All Cats. Had me laughing so hard I was crying.- DNO

Thank You
And thank you, Alan, for all those photos of your superb hat collection. Every one of them looks like it was custom made just for you! This is a great forum and the only one I to which I belong. Though I often post in the threads about movies and books, it's really about the hats and Alan is... -
Counting Your Change...
Time for a Canadian to chip in... I get lots of US coins in change up here. Like Lizzie and the Cdn coins in Maine, they just keep circulating at face value. I get the occasional Bermuda coin and the other day I got a 50-cent piece....haven't seen one of those circulating since the 60's.- DNO

The Flowers Of War
It's been my experience that a large number of historical episodes are basically ignored or unknown. Events like the Allied (US, UK, and others) involvement in the Russian civil war in 1919-20, or the Taiping Rebellion of the 1850's and '60's (estimated 20 million dead), or the Philippine...- DNO

That is a great idea, Rick. I already use a pocket watch but I also carry an iPod Touch. Great way to keep it secure. Thanks!- DNO

Berets, Anyone?
You're quite right of course, Paddy...sorry. Allow me to share some berets made in Canada. I have a couple of French-made basque berets that I wear, particularly when winter rears its ugly head but I also have several military berets made by the Dorothea Knitting Mills here in Toronto. The... -

Berets, Anyone?
Found this one for 99 cents at a thrift store today...my size (59), though the hat band is about shot. I love the label. -

Men who can cook.
Anybody who cooks knows that a good chef's knife is the most useful tool in the kitchen...hope you get your set! Not pro level but I've had good luck with Victorinox. I have some Henkel and some Sabatier, but I keep going back to the Victorinox.- DNO

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Everyone has such great hats! I hesitate to post my own modest one, but here goes... Just back from my evening walk...nice weather so I figured I'd wear a 'happy' hat. Wore my tan Dunley Supreme (never heard of this brand before). It's a rescue from the Sally Ann. Needed a lot of cleaning...
