    World War 2 Nurses cape and garrison cap

    I'm no expert in calligraphy, but that last letter looks like an "h". Whatever the verdict, it's a beautiful set.

    The 40s Man

    That is one lovely home! It makes me feel all warm and cozy just looking at it. :)

    Hooded driers

    I got it at Sally's Beauty Supply. It was on sale for about $89.00.

    Hooded driers

    If you are referring to this type: [/IMG] Then it is VERY nice to have. I hate sleeping in curlers of any type. While it still takes time to dry, it's much more comfortable to read with a glass of wine instead of catching z'ss in pincurls. I tend to do my hair in the evening, remove the...

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    New purses! Made from recycled bike inner tubes, and old magazine type covers (and other things!). Gold Diggers of Broadway- 1929 copyright. [/IMG] Not vintage at all. Fresh Step Cat Litter box purse- with Oscar my cat providing critique :) [/IMG]

    The Good News Thread

    Today I bought this Shaker style knitting box at the Nashville Arts and Crafts fair. [/IMG] Yes, it's nice, and somewhat cat proof- the yarn threads through the holes in the top. It's really nice, but that's not the "Good News" element. I asked the vendor if he took plastic? Nope. Cash or...

    Manhattan Trade School for Girls: Report Cards from the 1920s and the stories...

    The author of this piece found a batch of report cards, that to say the least, were very descriptive of the students' strengths and weaknesses. I found it interesting as a "average girl in New York" view. The effort the school went to in keeping their graduates employed, especially during the...

    The Official Beauty Box thread

    I was telling my mom about the concept, and she was thrilled by the idea too. I hate to say I thought one comment she made was sort of cute. She thought it was great, but she wondered if "someone might not just take the whole thing, and not send anything?" Mom,we're ladies- we don't do things...

    Reading on paper or screen

    Oh trust me, that "coupon idea" is being floated around. I work at a book distributor, and the topic is being discussed. I'm just guessing, but I think the problem is, as usual, unauthorized use. Namely, how do you make it so the e-version can't be traded around for free. I can think of...

    Happy 91st birthday Mickey Rooney

    ^^^ Somethings just make you go huh? I'm not a guy, but I'd think if you had Ava, the LAST thing you do on your wedding night is get so sloshed that you couldn't, well, you know. :(

    Reading on paper or screen

    Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it. I do prefer paper to e-book, but both have their place. I don't always want a heavy book-especially in bed. Nook is wonderful for travel (I am the kind of person who wants to travel with a dozen of my favorite, because I don't know what I might...

    'War Plan Red' : America's plan to take on Great Britain

    I remember reading about that, I think in a biography of Slade Cutter. He recalled that he and his classmates were happy to have a job, and he was relieved to make the cutoff. Of course, he almost got booted out for marrying without permission. Didn't the army train with fake rifles, and jeeps...

    Reading on paper or screen

    Not that I shouldn't be able to figure this out on my own, but has anyone had experience in converting a book to pdf, and then loading it onto their Nook? Yes, I am anal obsessive enough to scan (my own) books.

    'War Plan Red' : America's plan to take on Great Britain

    There were a lot of people Admiral King didn't like. It may be apocryphal, but his own daughter said he was the most even-tempered man in the navy. He's always in a rage!

    P-51 crash at Reno Air Races

    ^^^ I'm so sorry about your friend. I've really appreciated your comments here, since what I know about the subject wouldn't make a thimble overflow. I don't want to even imagine what the crash site must have been like. Take care of your self.

    Dinner Party Etiquette

    ^^^ I think the real question is why do your folks keep inviting this lout? His friendship with your mom was of at least 30 years ago I assume? Is he that important a part of her youth? Ask your folks what's going on, and let them know how you feel. Either there's something that will make him...

    Found Letters--German--1940s

    Duh. Trust me to ignore what's under my nose. I claim bad progressive lenses :)

    Found Letters--German--1940s

    The date is June of 1947, so I assume things are getting better for them, but heavy rationing is still in effect. I wonder how these families became acquainted. Maybe some relief organization?
