    Remix Shoes

    Is there anyone else that sells reporduction 1940s style pumps similar to Remix? I would love to buy theirs, but hearing about the leather quality is putting me off.

    Nero Wolfe

    Just thought you may be interested in listening to some of the Nero Wolfe radio casts. Soapdetectives.com has a good archive of his tales: http://www.soapdetectives.com/archives/2005/10/

    New Film - "Brick"

    I saw this movie last night and made a post about a "hat" in one of the scenes in the Powder Room. Zohar asked me to put my two cents in about the movie in this thread, so here I go: The beginning of the film is weak, in my opinion. The opening shot is amazing, but I kept thinking to myself...

    Hat in final scene of the movie Brick

    Oh wow! Only $1.34 each pad. Thanks for that link. I'll just get a hair clip and attach it on there. Zohar - Thanks for the link to the vintage shop. That hat is very pretty (though out of my price range) but they have so many other beautiful things there.

    Hat in final scene of the movie Brick

    So I just came back from seeing the movie brick and have fallen in love with this half hat/hair pin thing that is worn in the final scene. Does anyone know what this "hat" stlye is it called and where can I find such a thing? The closest thing I can find is this millinery that makes feather...

    Why fedora-wearing IS coming back in style

    Perhaps if Fedoras do come back into style rather than coat checks and cars changing it would be the ettiquitte that changed. When stepping into a car one would take off their hat and place it on their lap. When sitting in a theater one would rest it on their knee. Women have had to deal with...

    Tea Party Recipes & Table Linen?

    Oh, I have another question about the actual tea now. I was going to make two pots; one black one green, but now I am wondering if maybe I should just have an assortment of fancy loose teas out and let the ladies decide for themselves. Would that be a big no-no? I was even considering buying a...

    Tea Party Recipes & Table Linen?

    Great googaly-moogaly! Thanks for all your great recipes TheSwingingBee! I had some that I got from various websites, but I would much rather use recipes from someone who has used them before. I changed the theme from 1930s to 1950s because more of the girls had clothing from that era. Even...

    Tea Party Recipes & Table Linen?

    Oh my! Thanks to everyone for your links, recipes and ideas! When all is done I will post pictures and recipes I used. I just sent out my invitations today, I'm getting very excited. Now the weather just needs to settle so it can be an outside affair!

    Tea Party Recipes & Table Linen?

    I'm throwing a tea party in a few weeks. I am searching for vintage inspired table linen for the table setting, somewhere below the $70 price range. Does anyone know of any good sites/shops? I'm also curious to any good recipes any of you ladies may have for tea cakes, cookies and all that...

    As if we didn't chat about pin curls enough. . .

    Thanks Lauren! Both hairstyles look great. Now time for me to take a wack at it!

    Shoes Shoes Shoes

    I just recently got these retro inspired shoes from Zappos and while they were a bit pricey they were well worth it! I have foot issue (as in had surgery on them because of it) so I have to be really picky about what I put on my feet. I'm definitely willing to pay $100-$200 for a good, high...

    Remix Shoes

    Kaela, Which style do you have? I have been eyeing their Deco & Boulevard styles, but if they are not comfy I'll just drop the desire.

    As if we didn't chat about pin curls enough. . .

    I understand how to set your hair to make it look like this, but my confusion comes to the top of the head. Obviously you would set pin curls at the top as shown in nocturne's tutorial, but what happens after you take out the pins? Do you not brush them out, pin them like heck, like them take up...

    Yummy new things from Anthropologie

    I absolutely adore Anthropologie's style but their cuts are awful. I know they have several designers lines in the shop, but most of them were not created to flatter a woman's body at all. I stopped by the other day and must of tried on $400 worth of clothes and not one single thing fit me...

    end of the telegraph...

    It's quite odd because just a few weeks before the last telegram I was on the Western Union site doing reasearch for my <a href=http://16sparrows.com/stationery/telegram.html>telegram stationery</a> and I didn't see a notice anywhere that they were planning on no longer continuing with the...

    fountain pens

    Telling them apart? I have been specifically looking for a fountain pen that you refill by putting the nib in the ink well and "sucking it up." All the fountain pens I'm seeing are the cartridge refill types or the $300 lever types. Can any of you lads help a girl by suggesting certain brands...

    Scans from American Hairdresser Magazine

    Yes, that is where I got it from, but the girl you posted it wasn't sure of it's original source. But I figured it was posted to help other like-minded girls, so there was no harm posting it in these forums without an original source.

    At home repro

    Thanks for the info! I'm going to try that out and see if that may be it rather than the bobbin tension. I have a drop in bobbin case, so I hope that it isn't the bobbin tension. I have been considering just getting new one and letting my old one be my back-up. But I think I may get one with...

    Scans from American Hairdresser Magazine

    You can definitely use my American Hairdresser scans. The roll & snood tutorial is not mine and I have been trying to track it's origins but it has been hard, so post that at your own risk.
