    Vintage things you're happy are still here.

    I don't drink beer either ( other alcohol, yes- but no beer). So I'll shed a tear with you :( Hope this makes you feel better: http://youtu.be/B4sqishGuYw

    Th 8 Most Wildly Irrisponsible Vintage Toys

    Heck, I want some of those toys for me! I didn't get any of the more "interesting" science kits when I was growing up. I think my parents trusted my intelligence and common sense. My sister- not so much. (She's the kid who decided- over my objections- to separate two extension cords by prying...

    I mailed it off today. I'll pm you with the tracking #. I didn't take it as nagging. Anticipation, yes. :) One thing. I didn't realize until I had taped it back up- but I packed it "upside-down". Ooops. BTW, I believe it is Lady Day who contributed the hat. Many thanks LD!

    Well, there was something I was hoping to get in the mail that I was going to add to the stash, but it isn't here:( So I'm putting the box in tomorrows mail- I'll send you the tracking number - but gosh it was hard getting that sucker closed!

    Golden Era Grandparents Sayings and Recipes

    Dinner conversation as discussed over the grandparent's table... Pure profit is hard to come by. In a long southern drawl: Well now.... (followed by a careful explanation of why what you just said, was completely wrong) Did you mean to do it that way? Burnt offerings and excuses (granddaddy's...

    Countdown To Thanksgiving

    I usually can't make it home for Thanksgiving, which is okay. In my family Thanksgiving was the runner-up holiday. Christmas with one parent, Thanksgiving with the other. Alternate the next year. More food to eat though with all the parties. :) So I'll do what I do most years. Accept an...

    Drum roll please. I finally made my selection- and it was tough! Obviously- A HAT!!!. Two scarves, two eye pencils, two lipsticks, some hair-waving clips, and a compact. Is this the compact someone else couldn't open? If so, I got it opened :) BTW, the blue scarf on the bottom is mine- I...

    Color and B/W Photo Exhibit of Washingto, D.C.: 1942

    There is a photo exhibit running at the American University through Dec 14th, of the work of Louise Rosskam. As has been said many time before, it all looks more contemporary in color. The article and the accompanying photo galley at the Washington Post...

    Was it in the bag with another item? With a note? If so, it kamikazied on the way here. :(

    I'm having such fun! I'll try and make a decision and post pics by Friday!

    Alas, there was one minor problem. Note discoloration to box. Yup. Spillage. Not a real problem, as I think it was some kind of body oil. Nothing that was out of a bag was damaged, and the plastic baggies protected everything else. I've checked the stuff, and will repack and get a new box...

    Guess what arrived in Tennessee today? Yes! It was the Halloween Kitty!

    Coming this fall: ABC's "Pan Am" -- "Mad Men" in the skies?

    Even though I haven't watched the show (no cable or antenna), I have to share. While on my usual afternoon antiquing crawl, I chatted with one of my regular shops owner. Who was a flight attendant in the 60s and 70s for... PanAm! You can imagine where the conversation promptly headed :). Her...

    "Thank you for 1944" : a Chinese Mystery

    Very cool indeed. But actually not surprising. I took a semester of Chinese last year, and our instructor was a young Chinese post-grad student. While we had some strong differences of opinion on some things (just mention Taiwan or Tibet and watch the fun begin), there was one thing that we were...

    It's on it way to meee! Didn't think about the polishes breaking. PLEASE tell me none of the ones I put in originally have broken. :(

    Not trying to be cute, but...

    I always wanted to be Ursula Andress. Instead my looks are closer to Sally Field. I just decided to embrace my cuteness. It makes it so much easier to sneak in for "the kill". No guy expects to get tackled by Sally Field. Pandas are cute. And very dangerous.

    Do you see a time when you stop wearing vintage?

    The only difference will be that I'll find a dressmaker who can make vintage clothing for me. My budget will hopefully have more wiggle room in it. :) I do get where you're coming from tho' Paul. In 25 years, will what we consider to be vintage, have turned into antiques and just be too...

    Reading on paper or screen

    Situational is a good word, so I'll steal it here. The same book that I would "savor", I would read slowly and "page back" in an ebook to read a passage repeatedly. If I'm in a skimming mood, I'll read through quickly. If anything, I read on my Nook slower than I do a paper book. I do read very...
