What DO you want for Christmas?

[rue]

No, a train set. Geez, you never listen.....

 

[rue]

Bruce Wayne, Yeps and brspiritus...... I hope you all get that job



By the way brspiritus, nice to see you around again!

 

[C-dot]

I want a replica of the star sapphire ring William Powell gave to Jean Harlow.

I dropped a bunch of not-so-subtle hints to the boyfriend. Maybe for once he'll listen lol

 

[rue]

I forgot to add what I want....

In a fantasy world:
A full wardrobe of vintage 40s clothing or exact copies made for me, so I don't have to wear off the rack repros that everyone else already has.

In reality:
A new countertop for my kitchen so I don't have to look at that horrible chipped 80s formica anymore.

I want a replica of the star sapphire ring William Powell gave to Jean Harlow.

For which hand, though?

 

[V.C. Brunswick]

Realistically, I wouldn't mind one of these:

Russian Vostok Amphibia Black Sea

Mechanical reissue of the original 1933 Mickey Mouse watch! I saw it when I was at Disneyland last week.

In reality:
A new countertop for my kitchen so I don't have to look at that horrible chipped 80s formica anymore.

Has that sink arrived yet?

 

[rue]

Has that sink arrived yet?

It'll be here in about two weeks

Thanks Rue, my life got sidetracked for quite awhile now but I was inspired the other day to come back here when I scored 4 vintage ties at Goodwill for $1.99 each. I also have some free time now that my wife finally is here in the USA.

In a perfect world? A 1959 Cadillac Convertible or a 1966 Chevy Caprice Wagon.

More realistically? A nice Stetson Fedora would be good, maybe a Whippet, or good old cash always works.

Say now...what size is your noggin sir?

 

[Retro_GI_Jane]

I think Rue has the same idea I do. I would love to have a full vintage or vintage repro wardrobe so I don't have to worry about my wallet or settle for someting vintage-inspired. *le sigh*

My kitchen does need some serious updating too as in new cabinets, paint and tile...for now that'll have to stay in the fantasy realm of things too.

I could settle for a new pair of shoes though.

 

[sheeplady]

I want a new bathrobe (mine is nearly 20 years old and it is at the end of it's life), a pair of duck shoes (a type of rubber boot), and a suit from Pendleton.

I also requested several seam rippers in my stocking since mine keep disappearing.

 

[Rodkins]

I want some money transferred into my hat fund

 

[DeaconKC]

I found some very nice grips for a S&W revolver, and my folks decided they wanted to get them for me, so I'm good. Just hope to hear "Merry Christmas" more often and less "Happy Holidays" [yes I'm cantankerous].

 

[Miss sofia]

Books - those nice orange penguin classics would be nice, hint hint...
Serge Lutens perfume
A pair of french Sole ballet pumps
A selection of 1940's hats
A selection of 1950's hats
A couple of forties day dresses...
The lovely georgian seed pearl and enamel ring i have been admiring in the jewellers window for aeons.

I'll settle for a coupla John Waters movies on dvd and a large Toblerone...i'm not greedy!

 

[Gingerella72]

A job.

I'll extend that and say a job for my husband. A job that pays above minimum wage, that is.

 

[too much coffee]

A used Aero Highwayman, brown, size 44.

 

[sal]

I have had my eye on a three quarter Cashmere overcoat. A new pair of nice braces. A pair of Allen Edmond shoes

 

[sal]

Just hope to hear "Merry Christmas" more often and less "Happy Holidays" [yes I'm cantankerous].

Amen to that
