    Crown Stoves? Looking for Info...

    Interesting! The appliances must not be that collectible, for I've only found one photo of a stove from the 50's in my searches. I've found nothing that even remotely resembles my stove. Very frustrating!

    Crown Stoves? Looking for Info...

    We have an old 24-inch, gas, split-level range that we think dates to the 1960's. The brand name on it says "Crown," and on the side there is a little metal tag that says "Custom Built by Crown for Mrs. XXXX." I've been trying to look up some information on this particular range with no...

    Vintage Discovery Monthly! Historic places to Patronize and visit!

    Here's two from Omaha, Nebraska. I no longer live in Omaha (sigh) but I'm still in the state. #1 The Durham Western Heritage Museum is an awesome place to visit. Once a train station for the Union Pacific Railroad (whose headquarters are in Omaha, BTW), the art deco building has been...

    Sewing Lessons & FAQ

    Another newbie, would-be sewing person here, True Vintage! Thanks for starting this thread. I'm looking forward to reading all of the responses too. The thing that intimidates me most about learning to sew is something I'm embarassed to admit - I don't know how to measure or read a ruler if...

    Age difference between a man and a woman......

    I had forgotten until now that I had been the older woman once (I must have blocked it out, lol). I was a junior in college and I was dating a junior in high school. :rolleyes: I was 19 or 20 and he was 16. I know, I know, cradle robber, sheesh. I now vividly remember him taking me to...

    Age difference between a man and a woman......

    My husband is 6 years older than me, which is fine. The only thing I worry about is when we're old and gray, the possibility of him dying way before me (morbid to think about, I know, but it's a valid worry). I'd worry even more if the age gap were bigger.

    The Strangest Thing

    Ditto what everyone else has said. I definitely see it as an insecurity/jealousy issue. Women who are very insecure about their bodies/looks are extremely intimidated by beautiful, polished women. I can say that because I've been there. OTOH, she wears jogging pants and t-shirts to...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    I, too, have lurked here for ages before finally registering a few weeks ago. Hello from Nebraska and Cornhusker land! :::waves::: I've loved everything vintage since I was a child. My parents are bonafide members of the golden era (mom born in '30, dad in '31). They had me late in life...

    My first vintage purchase

    Oh yes. I can't wait. There is a "new" antique store that just opened up here that caters to the more feminine things - hats, gloves, kitchenware, jewelry, clothes, etc. I'll definitely be shopping there in the future. The trick will be to find functional items that I'll actually use and...

    As if we didn't chat about pin curls enough. . .

    I was wondering the same thing. My hair is so fine and thin - not only thin, but thining - I just don't have much hair to work with in pin curls. And, I just can't get the hang of wrapping the hair around my finger without twisting it.

    My first vintage purchase

    Miss Neecerie - thanks! Decodence - $500 really! Holy Cow. It's in really good condition (the mirror is starting to fleck a little in spots, but nothing major), just needs to be cleaned up. I couldn't find any mfg. marks or labels on it, so I have no idea who/where/when it was made...

    My first vintage purchase

    My first vintage furniture purchase! I found this waterfall-style vanity at an antique mall for $25.00, and promptly purchased it: (Please forgive the bluriness, our camera isn't that great) Bessie and Runty have given their approval of my purchase: Better look at detail (does that...

    Show us your Vintage Office Supplies.

    My dad, who recently retired, "swiped" a Swingline stapler just like that one, only a darker green color, from his office (shhhhhh!, lol) when he was cleaning out his desk. (no one would miss it, and would probably consider it junk since it's old) When I saw it in his home office I begged...

    The DINER.

    Envious! I'm green with envy for anyone that lives where these diners are in abundance! Heck, for anyone that even has only ONE! :rage: :p There are several old "greasy spoons" and old small-town, non-chain eateries in my area, but nothing that has the classic building architecture and...

    Lead in Lipstick!

    There is another website called Skin Deep that lists several types/brands of beauty products, their ingredients, and how those ingredients rate as far as toxicity: http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/index.php Some of it is pretty eye opening.
