    Hats for Little Girls

    I have a little girl's Knox felt hat that I rescued from a pile going to the dump after a "junk" fair. In all my years at eBay and on vintage sites I have not seen any children's hats. Do any of you have children's hats? I can post a pic if anyone is interested. I am wondering how rare this one...

    Cartoon shows that you remember watching as a kid

    Little Lulu I've noticed that Little Lulu is back. The comic books have been re-released and today I saw a large figure of her for sale. Funny, she's got the fewest scenes in the re-released ($1) DVDs. I wonder where this is coming from. Betty Boop items have always been available, so I'm not...

    Cartoon shows that you remember watching as a kid

    Everyone is different with the way they parent their kids. I would only worry if the women around kids as they are growing up dress and act poorly. I think that whatever it may be, an explaination always works. People often forget that kids are able to understand things when explained. Look at...

    Girdles, Corsets, and Underpinnings

    Would you be using a backlacing corset with hook and eyes or one without. If you have one with hook and eye and ties I would have someone you trust set it to you and then you should be able to just hook and eye it back on when you need it on. Of course a friend is always helpful, but if you are...

    Girdles, Corsets, and Underpinnings

    Thanks Rosie! You can find the old "vintage" pieces like this still made. If you have ever looked at the Vermont Country Store catalog they have quite a bit of vintage undies and girdles. I am not sure if they still carry this piece, but they used to and are also very responsive to finding...

    Vintage clothes - where do I find them?

    Cheap or Free Vintage (in August) Anyone in the New England area should try church fairs and the like. The older Yankee's will be dragging out their items to donate (sadly thinking no one wants them anymore). Coming up in the begining of August in Wolfeboro, NH there is the Hospital Fair...

    Vintage/Retro Cosmetic brands?

    I like MAC. I don't wear a lot of makeup now that I'm back in radioland, but when I am on TV or want to look more spotless I make myself up. MAC is a new thing for me, but I have poor skin and many scars to cover. When I poked around everyone at the makeup counter pointed me to MAC. I have to...

    Girdles, Corsets, and Underpinnings

    I love corsets, especially full bodice. I guess I'm one of the few here. I've used both, but I have an hourglass shape and I enjoy the "hug" of the corset. I find it to have a better tummy hold (important for me because of my c-section scar and bit of baby fat I still have a tough time getting...

    What Makes You Choose One Decade Over Another?

    I was going to say that I'm a fan of vintage clothing in general. Then I started to think... I have to really say that clothing from Medeival times through the 1950s are what I enjoy. I know it seems like a wide chunk of time, but with my experiences doing historical re-creation I am just in...

    Was Your Hometown Retro?

    Hey Lizzie, you're right... everything is just going to *poo* here in Maine and all across NE. I'm from central "touristville" NH on Lake Winnie and I'm younger than you, but the changes that went on between 1986 and 1993 really shook everything up and it's crazy to think back on what it was...

    Cartoon shows that you remember watching as a kid

    I have met several people like you. But, my questions are always the same things... How do you expect the kids to deal when they are out in the real world? Isn't it important to be realistic and show them both sides and just direct them to what's right? I assume your kids are banned from...

    Cartoon shows that you remember watching as a kid

    I found it strange that early on in the thread MysteryGirl thought Betty Boop was too much for the kids. How's that? Maybe I'm just open and realistic with my daughter. We also load up on the cheap or free vintage cartoons, but our favorites are Betty Boop, Little Audrey, and all those so...

    WWII/1940s radio broadcast CD

    Well, I work at a radio station and we have several shows in which pieces of vintage news, etc is used by the DJs. There are really great CDs you can get, everything from music to radio programs or even the old mysteries. I think there are even certain places you can purchase these from. Not...
