    Old vs New

    I understand it as well. Maybe it's the realization that the majority of the products we consume today don't even go through human hands anymore before they get to us. Understanding that a tailor didn't take the measurements, that we're wearing something that was mass produced to fit the...

    Vintage car observation.

    Does anyone have a fondness for old delivery vans? Specifically of the dairy (Calder's or Twin Pines here in Detroit, Oberweiss in Chicago), Krispy Kreme, Hershey's Ice Cream, and Good Humor varieties? L_H

    Flip flops in the white house.

    I read that Washington Post article in full and disagree with the idea that somehow dressing your children up in a cute, sensible manner is "too much." I happen to think that Jack and Josie looked adorable, and as someone who follows the Kennedys, Jack certainly didn't looked like John Jr. For...

    Who Are Your Style Icons?

    I do appreciate the Kennedys style, during the 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s: Teddy and Joe Jr., late-thirties: Joe Jr. in 1938 and 1939 respectively: (Jack, Jean, Rose, Joe Sr., Pat, Bobby, Eunice, and Ted in front) 1948: Jack, Ethel (lower), Bobby (standing), Senate election...

    I've been visiting them for about a year now and I love their selection (although I think it was better last holiday season). L_H

    Cloth Diapers?

    Thanks everyone. This of course makes me wonder what people used to do when they didn't have the luxury of switching up whenever it became inconvenient. L_H

    Cloth Diapers?

    At this point I think it's a little obvious that I have a vested interest in vintage children's products... :) But nonetheless I was wondering if anyone here had ever used cloth diapers on their children or planned to and if so were they more hassle than they were worth, or a joyous alternative...

    1930's sports fashion

    If you were to take some of their stuff by itself, then it's not so bad... It's just when you put an entire Ambercrombie outfit together that one cringes. For instance, this sweater looks halfway decent to me, but then I've not really gotten into more than just the general "classic" look...

    Calling All Michiganders...!

    I honestly hadn't expected to find anyone else from the "Arsenal of Democracy." I notice you're into architecture. Do you post on UrbanPlanet by any chance? If so I'm Wordsmith. Also, what college do you attend, I'm at Wayne State. L_H

    Mother makes child hold sign at roadside...

    I admit that while the technique might have been a little rough, I all in all agree with the chosen punishment. And I kept thinking to myself whenever some guy called in about how it might damage her psychologically that the American public ought to stop coddling children. You prescribe being...

    Sharing your love of vintage with the children?

    That's what I was hoping, but I also wonder about outside influences (which I know are unavoidable, at least if I don't want to raise scarred children). I'm not particularly keen to the direction my generation (1980s born) is headed in, but then who is? The fashion is ech, and we're terribly...

    vintage toys

    Some pretty excellent reproduction toys from the Golden Era can be found at the Vermont Country Store. Their book and games collection is out of this world as well. They even have the old fashioned Candy Land (albeit in special edition tin case) that you might have been looking for...

    Sharing your love of vintage with the children?

    I discovered this site a few days ago and have really enjoyed lurking around and getting a feeling for the place. Anyhoo, I've been wondering for some time now if other enthusiasts share their love with their children or just assume that it's something they'd rather save for later. I'm...
