    I was thinking of you, 23 - one of the books that didn't get photographed due to being upstairs amongst the bedside reads, is a 1941 floppy yearbook, from Minersville, PA. The hairdos on those girls - wowser!

    You're right about that, Miss G.! I've been dreaming over the pictures, and scheming about our partially deconstructed upstairs bathroom. ;)

    A couple shots of the complete haul: Did I mention the best thing about this sale is the books are all 50 cents or 1 dollar?

    The clothes on here are beautiful and drool-worthy! I haven't any fresh garments to share yet (but stay tuned for arrival of recent Etsy order....), however, I did make a rather hefty purchase yesterday afternoon. Let me say I pride myself on my shopping restraint in most situations, but...

    Shutter Island (2009)

    Funny you should mention the tie; it was one of the first things I noticed - being so big and bright and loud, and that early scene that focuses on him picking it up, followed by the flashback of his wife giving it to him. It seemed clearly a key part of the story (well, not the final outcome...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    "Shutter Island" tonight. I can't remember the last time I saw a movie at the cinema, but with a free pass to an advanced screening, how could I say no? The previews had enticed me, but I must say they're a bit misleading. I was expecting an action/thriller/ghost-hunting kind of story...

    Baby, that hat is a dream and beyond!

    1820s tailcoat

    I like it very, very much. You're not getting rid of it, are you?

    So, are you saying if I come across some sad, battered chenille at a bargain price, I should snatch it up for you? ;) Btw, I adore that dress you got - it's fabu, and such a fantastic fabric! We'll be seeing a photo of you wearing it, I presume....

    As I titled my blog post, "I'm a sucker for an orphan", which includes tattered, frayed old quilts with holes. Saw this a week ago at the thrift and proudly walked away, but when it was still there today, and reduced to $7.50, I weakened and brought it home. It can't be saved as a quilt, but...

    What are you wearing today??

    Not vintage, but a bit vintage inspired, at the opening of my jewelry show tonight.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Flicking between a PBS special on drive-in movies, and ice skating.

    Vintage Valentines...

    We decorated cereal boxes in elementary school; though I liked to make my Valentines from scratch (doilies, foil, red feathers, glitter...), there were a lot of sweet store-bought ones available. These days all I notice are boxes of branded Valentines - NASCAR (!?), pop stars, cartoon...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Oh my gawd, I lost an eyelash! She's stellar, without a doubt. Wonder why we didn't see much else from her after that?.....

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Just finished "The Out of Towners" again. Jack Lemmon is such a fun comedian to watch.

    The "Pleasing Phrase" Thread

    One of my favorite childhood poems: "WRECK OF THE HESPERUS" It was the schooner Hesperus, That sailed the wintery sea; And the skipper had taken his little daughter, To bear him company. Blue were her eyes as the fairy flax, Her cheeks like the dawn of day, And her bosom white as...

    Paper Dolls

    I forgot I had this until it appeared during yesterday's major overhaul of the desk and its surrounding stacks of ephemera. And somewhere I have a charming paper doll of Little Edie Beale, but I can't remember where I put it for safekeeping....

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    Having rather wide, straight-across-at-the-toes feet, I really prefer to try before I buy, especially with heels. My shoes range from 8.5 - 9.5. I ordered the Diesels in a 9, and they fit nicely. Today I stayed in all day, but after my noonish shower, dressed in a fitted top, short...
