What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Moonrise Kingdom - strange but wonderful. I watched it without knowing what's it about, and that was just the right thing to do. Like a wonderful trip (ambiguity intended)- wahine

Show Us Your Compacts . . .
You ladies inspired me to get a vintage compact for the first time. After some ebay failures (not described damages in two compacts I got earlier), I finally got one. It's not half as fancy as the ones that are usually posted here, but I wanted to show you anyway. The good thing about it: it... -

Show us your vintage patterns!
I'm posting this mostly for Katinka, she asked me about pants patterns in my 1942 Golden Rule book. It has mostly shorts, so I'll add some patterns from the 56 edition, as well. So, if Katinka (or anyone else, for that matter) wants scans of one of the patterns, let me know (it might take me...- wahine

I most likely wouldn't have them if I'd have to pay for them. Both were inherited. I was soo lucky to have the 56 edition plus one supplement and always looking for supplements or even another main book. One day, when I was chattering with my aunt, she said: "I have a book that's just like the...- wahine

Deadpandiva, that's a gorgeous dress! I can easily imagine you wearing it, it'll suit you just fine! Those "knee pillows" are usually being sold in the gardening departments (at least here in Germany). Katinka, my Golden Rule is the 1956 edition. I also have a pre-war edition (1942?) on my...- wahine

Katinka, I always sketch my Golden Rule patterns on the floor, so that's no new thing for me. I even got a "knee pillow" or how ever you call it, esp. for that purpose. Thank you IAdoreFilmNoir, I was guessing the same thing but wasn't sure.- wahine

Thank you Katinka! Did you ever try one of those patterns? I must admit I'd like to try it, but I'm not too wild about tracing one of those wild "map patterns" (reminds me of those hidden cam TV shows when they ask people in the street where to go and show them a sewing pattern instead of a...- wahine

Show us your hair do's....
This look is so wonderful! The curls are a work of art and your make-up is beautiful, too. Do you do your own brows? I'd like to do something about mine, but I can't afford to go to a cosmetician regularly, so I'd have to learn to do it myself. -
Show us your vintage patterns!
Totally in love with that one! So good for you that it wasn't listed correctly and no one else saw it! I'm not sure if we're supposed to show magazine patterns in this tread, too. I posted some pics of my latest find, a 1955 magazine with several patterns in it, in the "Show us your...- wahine

I got some new magazines. The "Unterwegs" is an East German (GDR) travel magazine, 1959 issues. The other one, a 1955 issue of a West German family magazine, has quite a few patterns in it: (Pregnancy wardrobe that doesn't show any sign of pregnancy) And I finally found a magazine...- wahine

A great movie from 1926
A French-German tv channel has a special theme day today: "Black & White has many colors". They started off with Berlin, Symphony of a Metropolis, a 1927 movie by Walther Ruttmann. It's much like a documentary, only a few scripted scenes, no intertitles. It shows pretty much every aspect of...- wahine

Katinka, thanks for the link. I really like those espandrilles, but it seems they don't have my size at the moment. Maybe I'll find similar ones, I really like the idea. Something else came to my mind: I have some sandals that I never wear because the color is "uncombineable" for me. How...- wahine

Yes, I agree that those are quite nice to be worn with capris in general. Just that I'm not sure if it's the right combination for a Rosie style which is (as far as I know) rather a kind of a worker style...- wahine

Thanks for the compliment and for the recommendation. I thought about red wedges, too. These are really nice but too expensive for me. Maybe I'll find similar ones at a smaller price at my local shoe dealer. Do you think red ballet flats might do as well?- wahine

What kind of wallet?
You're not alone! last week-end, I couldn't find my mobile phone. I & my man looked all over my place, practically everywhere, but couldn't find it. I was convinced that it was stolen from me when I was at the grocery store on saturday. Just to make sure, I went to that store on Monday and...- wahine

Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage
Paul, it's great that you did that and wonderful that you're happy with the reaction (or rather non-reaction) of the people. Not a very extraordinary comment, but the first one I got from a stranger: Recently, I've been wearing vintage far more often than modern. People often look, but no...- wahine
