    This site can save your life

    With more and more of us eating processed foods, the dangers increase: http://www.fda.gov/opacom/7alerts.html Not all recalls make the news. I've found food items in my house that are recalled. One was squash that contained pieces of metal! Some recent recalled items include Gerber organic...

    Different decorating periods in one home...or room?

    Does anyone here have a mix of decades for decor? For example, a 1950's kitchen, art deco office, Victorian bedroom, etc OR a mix of all in each room? Would love to see pics on how you pull it all together.

    Bread boxes?

    I went to a yard sale today and bought a chrome 1950's bread box for a buck. I'll take a picture after I've had a chance to polish it up. Anyone have a vintage bead box they care to show off??

    Have you ever used Golden Era toiletries?

    Sometimes I come across an old perfume set, soap, bath gel, shaving cream and the like and figure it must have gone bad from being so old... Have you ever used any old toiletries? Were they still "good"?

    What's on your dresser?

    I have depression hobnail glass vanity items, an Art Deco handkerchief box, an occupied Japan figurine, some Victorian books, and some wacky dolls I found inside an antique steamer trunk. It's basically vintage clutter. :)

    Do you use one of those fancy solar dryers?

    You know, a rope going across your lawn? ;) My electrified dryer had died and while I was between dryers I took to old-fashioned line drying. I noticed that my clothes dried quite rigid, and my towels were rough. Although I have a new dryer now I may want to still do some line drying. Any...

    Vintage Paintings

    Does anyone here have any original vintage oil paintings? When I first started attending estate auctions six years ago I was shocked at how one could affordably build a nice collection of original art for the same price as a cheap repros sold today. For example, I won this beautiful 19th...

    Dishes Men Like (Food!)

    Hey, it's the actual title of the cook book! Does anyone here cook with vintage recipes? I was thinking it might be fun (or maybe not, I'll soon find out) to post an old recipe, and then whoever wants to can follow it and then post their pictures of the final results! Serve it up on...

    Bombshells playing ugly roles

    I can't keep track of all the reasons I love Bette Davis, but I think what makes me respect her acting most is that she played, very convincingly, many unattractive and downright hideous characters (but was still beautiful in her own way). Whatever Happened to Baby Jane and Mr. Skeffington are...

    Old things make me tell tales

    The Picnic, 1953 Letty was 25, but almost 30 in her mind. She had a knack for picking the right hat only to later wear it when meeting the wrong man. It's not that the men weren't to up her standards (that weren't really hers anyway, but more of what she had as a guide based upon what mother...

    What IS this? (Civil War Era)

    Does anyone have information on what this may be? It was auctioned off with a bunch of Civil War items.

    So, is there an elegant way to put air in your tires?

    I can't think of a way to put air in my tires that doesn't involve leaning on the ground or contorting myself in various ways that gives passers by views I'm not looking to showcase. How do you do it? Did full serve stations ever do this?
