    My Classic Hollywood Portraits taken by Lolita Haze

    I've been away from the Lounge for a while...chores in the barnyard keep growing as our livestock becomes more varied ('shepherdess' is not an adequate job description any more), two kids in school, hours at the sewing machine, time setting my hair...you know how Life goes. But a few months...

    FS: 1930s Model A Fordor

    Fresh barn find!! Great project for the hot rodder or the classic car enthusiast! A little project that my husband and I took on two years ago . . . and it's still sitting untouched. Came to the realization that it's just too much for us to do at this time (and not the only hot rod in the...

    Canned Ham (of the camper variety)

    Couldn't find a thread of only vintage campers. Bartenders, merge if need be, but I thought this was a bit more than "Vintage Gear." Purchased two years ago, my husband and I have finally redone our 1968 Serro Scotty Sportsman. At at mere 10feet long, it tracks beautifully behind the '50...

    a Saturday afternoon with some Wisconsin chrome . . .

    The family went to a small show in central Wisconsin today. I'm always drawn towards the 30s-50s vintage, especially the chrome, the grill, the hood ornament, the rock guards on those amazing rear quarters. So here are a few photos of the best parts. Of special note is the 1942 Chevy pickup...

    The very *pink* of perfection!

    I couldn't resist a starting thread all about pink . . . it's been my favorite color of late. Initially drawn towards pastel, I've started to really like the bright Pepto-Bismol shade that I've found in my recent purchases (sweaters, coats, slips). Here are a few photos to get things started...

    Hey cats and kittens! The day is almost upon us. Who's going to Vintage Torque this weekend? My hubby and I will be heading down in the '50 Chevy. I'm packing my crinoline and pearls. Anyone want to meet up there? I'll take some photos for those who don't get to go. Check back! :D

    Home is where the Kitchen is

    I haven't been able to find a thread devoted solely to the humble kitchen, so here goes. This is, of course, prompted by my latest purchase - a '40s Magic Chef gas stove. Bringing it into the room required a complete shuffling of the furniture so after a bit of spring cleaning (wowsers, were...

    SOLD: Leopard heels - size 7 - $10

    HELP! WTB: large buttons for wms wool coat

    I have inherited a wool coat from my husband's grandmother but am missing one button. I've scoured etsy and ebay (gads, there are thousands of buttons out there!) with no luck. I don't expect to find a match, but can't seem to even find good replacements. Ideally, I'm looking for something in...

    Aris Allen swing dance shoes

    Just recently discovered Aris Allen dance shoes and love the look!! I'm contemplating the tie-on oxfords but am leery of the suede sole. As I'm not a swing dancer, I wanted to wear these on a somewhat daily basis. Are there any dancers out there who can lend advice on the longevity of that...
