    Sad News: Kilroy CD's father, Don (Dutch) Davis, has passed away.

    Kilroy, I'm so sorry..we're losing that generation so quickly, that generation for who 'thank you' never seemed enough to say to them. I know how it is to lose your father, mine has been gone for 12 years and I miss him every single day. Chin up, remember all the good times. K

    Social Etiquette

    I'm with Emily Post I'm afraid, in her 1922 etiquette book she quotes: The Right Honorable G. W. E. Russell, wrote: “Probably in all ages of history men have liked money, but a hundred years ago they did not talk about it in society... I hate it, I think it's damned rude..I have a frenemy...

    Custom made vintage repros...

    I've considered a suit from Top runway, but just how bad are the fabrics? I want a wartime utility suit and so a nice tweed or Gab would be good..just have visions of shiny poly mixes. Also, what's her order time like? My sis lives in Hong Kong and she says the little speedy tailors aren't as...

    Vintage Weddings

    It really can be done on a budget, everyone knows money is tight right now. I think if you have the time to search online, and in thrift shops for table centres etc you can have a really different day that everyone will remember for a long time. I recently got engaged and we have attended some...

    The Rockabilly Make Up Thread

    I think Melanie is quite new to this and here in England the distinction is not quite so clear cut perhaps? Melanie, loads of good threads in the Powder Room section but suffice to say that a lot of the make up is 'vintage inspired' and not 'authentic' It's great when you get into it, so...

    Soap & Glory

    I'd have to disagree, I like some of the products, not all but their hot cloth pore treatment is lovely and just as good as the Liz Earle version. I also like their sugar body scrub, it's bloomin good as it has oil in it and leaves your skin very soft. Give the small samples a try, about £2...

    Hi Melanie, if you're coming to any 1940s events in the UK I can help. K

    Hello From England

    Hi Miss Melanie! I'm in Yorkshire, but my mother lives in Northumberland. Good to see another Brit on here! K x

    Show us your vintage patterns!

    Has anyone made this? http://www.scissorhappy.com/catalog/item/1744458/1174446.htm or have a big size that they want to sell? I want a sarong dress and bolero, but am struggling to find something suitable. I don't really want to pay $35 for a modern pattern...:mad: (am I being miserly?)...

    WW2 jacket ?

    Can I see the label? Is it a cellular weave? Looks like a British KD shirt to me. WPG does a copy. K

    Just gotta rant...vintage sellers who drive me nuts!

    I don't think that's entirely fair miss Scarlet, I buy a lot of vintage and usually I'll buy a hat if I see it going cheap for a friend or because noone else has bid. I also think that we'd be lying if we said we'd not bought something at one time or another to make a profit! I'm not a...

    Art Deco Bedroom

    Hi Mojito! It's gorgeous!!! I wake up to a 30s three piece bedroom set of walnut with an unusual laburnum inset. It was £110 for the whole set about 6 years ago. Where else could you get a decent chunk of furniture for so little and such good quality? Are you the lady who knows Walter...

    Show us your vintage knitting and crochet!

    Can you still buy the yarn for making Corde bags? I have so many vintage crochet bag and hat patterns and whilst I can't knit for toffee I can crochet. If you're left handed like me I can reccomend the lady on you tube who films her hands from her POV and it makes learning so easy!

    You're honestly not missing anything other than a cocky TV editor trying to make some nice people look like freaks and weirdo's. :mad:

    Churchill's Finest Hour Speech - June 18, 1940

    To be honest chas, I think you're just being deliberately provocative and if this was a topic about the (incredibly) few Americans in The Battle of Britain this would have been locked or cleaned up by now. I don't appreciate your comments and if you have an opinion on our brave young men and...

    Show us what you've made!

    Cici, adorable as always...how cute? Who are the bods on the fabric? (I'm only just getting to grips with the civil War having found I had relatives who were with the Irish Brigade!) Wahine, welcome! Great dresses! :)

    OT: My parents

    Hi Shopgirl, I can sympathise totally, having finished uni my father back home became ill. Nothing specific, heart trouble mobility problems...I had just become single mum to a lovely son. I upped sticks with very little and moved into a rented house near my dad. It wasn't always easy, mum...
