    Found Letters--German--1940s

    In the war, my grandpa was sent home on a leave to visit his sick baby son. This way, he averted Russian captivity and survived. He got home just in time to witness his son die. My grandma always told this sad story, saying it was some kind of blessing in disguise that the loss of her child...

    QB, those are really impressive! great job on the effects, too. Thanks for posting! Can anybody give some advice on photo editing? I need a (seemingly) simple effect: put white frames on photos of varying sizes. I'm a layman when it comes to photo editing, usually I use Ulead express or...

    Natural/Home remedies for super dry skin?

    Sorry for the late reply. No, there were no scaly areas. The skin turned just very red, got hot and burned. I didn't use that cream again and the rash didn't happen again. I'm still unsure of what it was.

    Ask a question, get an answer

    Since I have an enormous head (for a lady) and a tiny wallet, I have failed in buying a fitting vintage hat so far. I found a cute hat/cap at my local thrift store and got it although it was too small - I hoped I could widen it somehow. Well, I couldn't. Before I give it away, maybe you can...

    Help a gal out - how can I "Vintage-ify" this dress?

    Drmrrabbit, it came out wonderful! The color is very becoming on you and I love the double skirt! In combination with your hair and the white gloves, it looks very classy. I was thinking about making a double skirt dress for quite a while now but always wondered if it really looks good. Now I...

    Natural/Home remedies for super dry skin?

    The other day, after I put on my usual moisture cream, I got a horrible rash - it must have been an allergic reaction. :eeek: that puzzles me because I've been using that same cream for about 1,5 years now. It was terrible, I looked like a lobster, my face got hot and I even felt a bit dizzy...

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    Black Dahlia, that's a nice blog you have there! And all the beautiful head vases! I don't think I ever saw one in Germany, maybe they didn't sell them over here at all. This board makes me learn of so many wonderful vintage things of which many can't (or hardly can) be found in my country; like...

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    BlackDahlia - now, that is a cute vase! I wonder how big is it? --- After my latest purchases, I must face it now: I'm addicted to buying gloves and stockings. It wouldn't be as pathetic as it is if I'd wear them! But I don't really. Well, sometimes, on a special day, I wear vintage...

    Help a gal out - how can I "Vintage-ify" this dress?

    When I found this, I had to think of your inital "cape back" idea.

    Help with vintage jewelry repair/cleaning?

    Welcome to the board to both of you! :wave: I agree with Lady X, the glue is barely visible (at least in the photos). I'd only risk to clean it if it really bothers you a lot, and don't try it myself. It'd be a pity if it gets ruined only because it wasnt 'tidy' enough. Think of it like a...

    Show us your hair do's....

    You all look so great! Drmrrabit, I wish my hair would look as good as your "lazy day" look on a special occasion day. You're doing a far better job than I ever could.

    Some pics from boxes of old negatives I bought

    Are you ever tired of explaining why you live or dress the way you do?

    I do it the same way, since I'm just not every day in the mood to be stared at. A fifties dress with a small petticoat is okay, but when it comes to sassier stuff like gloves, I'm usually chicken and leave them at home. :eeek: That is very rude, how do you react when someone makes a...

    Why does the hair always look best when you have a lazy day home alone?!

    Some pics from boxes of old negatives I bought

    German family life around 1960 Those are wonderful, thank you for sharing! Like Gingerrella, I can't understand why people don't want these - when my grandma's flat was cleared (or do you say liquitated?), we almost fought over some of the photos! Last night, I found a scuffed music box...

    Ladies show us your best.

    Etoh, I like your hair and glasses! You look sophisticated and cheeky at the same time. ;) Here's one of my favorite day time dresses, it's from my grandma and probably from the sixties.
