    1920s Hair Nets

    When I get home, I'll open on my monitor where I do photo editing (30") and see if I can't pull it into a resolution at that size where I can get a good image. I'm out and on my laptop and can't enlarge it clearly enough here.

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    That's what I use to can jam! I boil fruit and sugar and run it through. It's a giant sieve.

    NYC Municipal Archives

    I have a feeling I'll be spending a lot of time here. Sorry if I've reposted something that was already up! "Almost a million images of New York and its municipal operations have been made public for the first time on the internet. The city's Department of Records officially announced the...

    Anyone use a SWAG or BEDROLL ??

    I did outward bound many moons ago and used a Pendleton wool blanket and made into a bedroll. With an old WWII poncho, it was the perfect setup to keep me dry and warm.

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    @Miss Golightly I get comments even when I'm not dressed in vintage/vintage style that people just appreciate the fact that I actually took time with my appearance. Little things can be huge in the days of yoga pants and tank-tops in restaurants.

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    I know what I'm baking tomorrow. Suddenly have a monster craving. I still dry apples the way my great-aunt did, on sheets, in the sun. Also make dried applesauce cake -- with all the tiny layers and applesauce between each one.

    Brooks Brothers Clothing

    My husband doesn't dress in vintage, but loves well made clothes. We've been buying all of his from Charles Tyrwhitt in the UK. Shipping is inexpensive and the quality is superb.

    Books about the Looks

    I just bought Family Circle's "Complete Book of Beauty and Charm" -- early 50's. It's excellent reading so far. http://www.etsy.com/transaction/78642832

    Cankles!

    Same here. I have my Grandfather's arches. While I love that, it's harsh when I'm trying on shoes. I also danced and played competitive softball, so have large muscular calves as well. It's hard to get a good fit.

    Cigarette Pants/ Pedal Pushers/ Capris/ Cropped Pants

    I'm a bigger gal and can normally find my pants like these at Lane Bryant/Avenue or One Stop Plus here in the states. It takes a little looking, but I'm happy when I find them. I also bought a new sewing book which teaches me how to make my own patterns based on clothes you want to copy. Guess...

    Daphne Self: Long hair, no Botox and a dollop of Boots facecream

    I'm going to be 40 this year, so I'm hoping I can keep up the route I've been on as far as how I look. If I do? I'll be a happy gal :)

    I cheated! And with a co-worker whom I like BETTER! What to do?!

    Oh sweetie. I'd just be a wreck. My hair is "my thing" and it's very important that it be done well. That is so hard. When we moved, I went to an Aveda salon. They're a little more pricey, but the classes and methodology is the same at all of them.

    You're welcome. Letting a big *sigh*. I know it's genetics and bone structure, but don't we wish there was a magic potion :)
