    short London travel - any tips?

    Edward, it'd sure be great to catch up (whatever that might mean in particular ;) ) with fellow loungers. Thank you for the link and the idea about the Ripper tour. Problem is, my aunt does't speak English well. We will be limited to tours with very little talk, so I can translate for her or no...

    short London travel - any tips?

    That looks wonderful and some good places for starting to plan our trip, thank you all for posting! :) The tilly-blog is very interesting, makes me wanna go even more. Fabrics have become so expensive around here, at least if you want to go to a local store. The only chance to get a bargain is...

    I'd say they go with pretty much any knee-length skirt or dress as long as it's not made of a very rough (e.g. woolen) fabric.

    The Middy Thread

    As far as I can judge from the picture, you got a very neat result! One gets used to shorter hair so quickly, at least that's my experience.

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

    The result looks great, Fräulein U.! (and you have very nice curtains, btw ;) ) Thank you for the link to the cutting method. I always wonder what I do wrong, it seems everybody gets better results than I do. If it's about the cut, the combing, or whatever, maybe I'll never find out.

    short London travel - any tips?

    My auntie invites me to go to London, yay! :bounce: She's never been to London, and since I haven't been there for about 15 years it'll almost be like a first time for me, too (the town must have changed a lot; and I have changed, too). I'd be grateful for some advice and tips where to go...

    Bobby Pins

    I did it this way for the same reason. Also, I don't think what is said in the link is true, that "it looks better" with the flat side on top. Anyway, I'll give it a try. As usual, I'll do it the way I like it better, not necessarily the way it's supposed to be done. Little bit of an anarchist...

    That looks real cute, Antje. A wonderful idea to arrange the curls over that headband the way you did.

    Golden Era Things You've Revived Or Repaired For Use

    That's wonderful! I just imagine you playing the sax while you steer a plane. Oh no, you don't have your hands free. So you must be balancing! On top of the bi-plane. :D

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I hear "You look older" a lot. I don't really mind, since I actually look younger than I really am; so with the vintage styling I might look my real age. But I often get the impression that a vintage styling (if it's not a pin-up styling) is usually considered verrry unsexy. Like every woman...

    Golden Era Things You've Revived Or Repaired For Use

    I stopped using a coffee machine, brew by hand instead (the coffee always comes out as a surprise, so far). I also try to use less plastic, which is a sisyphean task. Never stopped using fountain pens or my 50s (or 40s?) toaster. When I need some household supply or clothing (except...

    What Are You Reading

    John Seymour's Forgotten Household Crafts. It's really interesting and entertaining, has loads of drawings and some photographs, too.

    What modern invention/innovation do you wish had *never* been developed?

    It won't be too long that you travel Europe (or at least Germany) and don't see a difference to the US. Well maybe not tomorrow, but we're on our way there. So many people think everything from the US is "cool", "hip", "modern". They give up great parts of our culture, language and more. Ten...

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

    Dawna, that's great! Maybe you could post a picture? But beware! (1947) I'm thinking about wishing for a "bobopen" for my next birthday... (already hear my sister asking: "What the hell is a bobo-pen?" :D)

    What modern invention/innovation do you wish had *never* been developed?

    GPS RFID credit cards customer loyalty cards (those cards companies give you to "collect" "points", and that are truly only to collect information about you) everything else that is meant for collecting information on people about their habits, and that's used afterwards to pool "groups of...

    30's German Suit "C&A" Striped Peak Lapel 3-piece SB Sz. US 38

    Larger. I'm not exactly sure, I think it's German size 52 or 54 (men's sizes are still a mystery to me). Plus, he usually needs the jacket one size larger than the pants, which makes it hard to find something that fits. :p
