    I'm outta here due to the women-only area happening

    As a female member of this site for the last several years, and with a reasonable number of posts under my belt, of course I took an interest in the suggestion of locking men out of part of the site. I voted against the idea, since I feel very uncomfortable with the idea of "special" areas of a...

    Best vintage bag style for long commute on foot?

    I have a dilemma. I commute about 5 miles a day on foot when I'm working, and usually have to carry a large heavy laptop along with a few other bits and pieces such as a lunchbox. It is too long a walk to carry something in my hand all that way, so I've resorted to a nylon backpack, but I hate...

    What sort of pen do you carry, and what do you carry it in?

    Bar soaps

    What are your favourite bar soaps for washing with? When did liquid soaps become popular, anyway? I still prefer a bar for washing my hands. I have lots of nice shower gels but sometimes, especially in the bath, you can't beat an actual bar of something. Right now I am using Caswell-Massey...

    The house where time stood still

    This is not my treasure to display, but I wish it was! In 1959 Peter Welch and another builder built this house in Te Puke and it was never lived in for over 50 years. Nothing is used and it is still in totally original condition...

    Best repro/retro patterns for vintage styles

    Hello all, hope you don't mind me starting this thread, but I searched in the Powder Room and couldn't find a thread on this. What are your favourite repro/retro patterns for vintage styles? I know that the Butterick walkaway dress, which is available as a modern reproduction, is very...
