Great picture Miss 1929!
Of course, there's Sidney Stratton--the original Man in the White Suit
I used to feign illness so I could stay home and watch Alec Guinness movies when I was a kid. He's so great.
I'm so glad you all like the Scottie outfit! Here's where I found the modern items for the copy:
Scottie buttons; $2.40-$1.50. Scroll almost to the bottom at this site

Scottie fabric; several colorways and many sources for all of these...
Cowboy boots
And a western scarf! Yee haw!
Oh Lauren, the cowboy (now cowgirl!) stuff is fab--I especially love that scarf since I've never seen one like it before. Good prices I hope?
I've been listening to old CDs of mine lately and here's another song I love. The video isn't great but it's the only one I could find. Ivor Novello had quite a range--And Her Mother Came Too is very funny and this one will break your heart with it's sweetness. Jeremy Northam has a very nice...
I love children's books too. Have you ever been to Books of Wonder in NYC? So amazing--original art and lots and lots of Oz.
Of course, ideally, I'd love the original Oz books but barring my lottery win I've always meant to buy a full set of the BOW Oz reprints. They reproduce the John...
Burl Vanity Circa 1920's?
That's a beauty, and quite the steal! You'll have to post pictures of it with all your stuff on it in the "what's on your vanity" thread when you get it home.
Great pictures MagistrateChris, thanks for sharing them. I especially liked the contrast between the lovely Deco era hotel and the glass block behind it. Your picture of the silhouetted palm trees was very evocotive too.
Terrific newspaper Sam_Marlow_PI, you should surely get it framed.
I've got a folder on my computer where I keep pictures of vintage clothes I'd like to copy either because I didn't win the original, the original isn't my size or the original is in a film or in a museum somewhere. Do any of you do this too? Please post pictures of inspirations or your...
I know Fancy Mouse, it's a sin and a shame isn't it?
I've found some cute modern stuff for my future Scottie suit.
Buttons
The best fabric I've found thus far; comes in several colors but I'm partial to the red.
I wish I could find fabric just like this but, alas, I...
Nice products!
This thread reminds me that I really want a nice, preferably vintage, copy of The Prisoner of Zenda. There was an early edition that had illustrations by Charles Dana Gibson that I've always lusted after particularly. Other books I should look into include Men of Iron with...
Just finished watching Utopia; lots of running again, eh? Derek Jacobi--I didn't expect to see him. John Simm intrigues me, I'll be interested to see how he develops the character. Not the best ep but far from the worst.
I prefer hardback editions too (except when it's time to move!) so I think this is a great idea. I agree with Ben that replacing the books as you read them is an economical idea, although it never fails to surprise me how cheap used hardback books can be. I get mine from local second hand...
