    Show us your vintage home!

    Oh $ally, I'd kill for that stove in the kitchen! That's the kind that actually gets hot enough to make pizzas well.

    The "Organic" Trend - do you believe the hype?

    I'm sure it has to have been already stated, but bears repeating: Organic food, clothing or goods are hardly a trend, as non-organic food & goods have only been created and thrived within the last 100-120 years. Do I believe in not polluting the ground (and water) with harsh pesticides and...

    Low Income and Staying Healthy?

    Also to keep in mind, nearly every household task was completed by a woman and none of those tasks were easy or non-strenuous. My Grandmother still has her vacuum from the 40's and it must weigh 45 pounds *easy*. Add in no washers (largely) and no dryers, heavy hot irons, cast iron stoves...

    Indeed, sir! Imagine my excitement, since I am in the wine biz! No more paying for wine storage!

    Do you eat vintage?

    I suppose it depends upon how you're describing 'vintage eating.' We eat mostly fresh, organic and local, which is obviously *very* vintage. My Grandmother - being depression era, ate everything tin-canned and that isn't terribly wise since we've learned that a heavily canned-diet leads to poor...

    Show us your vintage home!

    BigMan and Marinebilly, those are very inspiring homes!! Thank you for sharing. Cacklewack and I did just purchase our first home and are very excited to move in later this month! Our home is a 1944 Cape Cod, with original floors, windows, siding and cabinets. Some minor updating was done to...

    The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard

    True. Or with the fact that $10 "Champagne" isn't even Champagne.

    Oh really? I didn't realize Lauren had too. Is Hemingway married now? Wow. I've missed a lot!

    The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard

    "There's no difference between $10 Champagne and $200." - An online wine forum member. *sigh* Where does one even start??

    And we owe it all to the Fedora Lounge!

    As long promised, here are a few photos of Cacklewack and my nuptials back in May! So, the story goes: We met on the lounge sometime in late 2006 or early 2007. (I'm sure Cacklewack knows exactly, but I haven't searched back through threads to see.) Cacklewack's avatar at the time was a...

    Vintage Entertaining

    I've never had a vintage party per se, but all of my events tend to be formal in regards to past decorum, manners of hosting and themes. What is slightly disheartening is that very few people 'get it' anymore. In regards to that I mean, I wanted to throw a cocktail party for my husband's...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    'Girl 27,' a documentary about a 1937 MGM Stag Party where a woman was lured there under false pretenses and raped. Not terribly well made, but enlightening about the film industry at the time, and of course, an important story.

    Optimo south side mobsters

    Wow. Aerol's hat is stunning. I wanted Cacklewack to get a panama, but that'll have to wait until the next visit home. Right now he only wears his Stack or his Optimo. The dear man needs at least one more for his regular rotation! And yes, I'm a sucker for great design and craft no matter...

    Optimo south side mobsters

    Cacklewack's Optimo we got last year when I was home. Optimo for the win! One thing though, the bash was so perfect on the one he tried in the store because the owner himself did it. When we got his in the mail, it wasn't as perfect. In the future he would request it be bashed by the owner...

    Portland, OR Ladies: Vtg. tailors/cleaners?

    Hi gals, A question for my sisters in the Pac NW/Portland OR: I am in immediate need of the best tailor and cleaner in Portland, OR who can be trusted with vintageware, specifically 30's taffeta. Can anyone recommend their best experience? I went to one who "specialized" in vintage and...

    Movies And Their Profanity

    I don't even know where to begin. American language exists as it's own entity. This is confirmed in every scholastic circle I can conceive of/have encountered/know of. The actual English language is something else. Ask an England native; I'm sure he/she will confirm this. No one disputes...
