    Lawn care-oldschool reel mower, anyone?

    The idea appealed so I tried in the early days of living in this 1917 home. Unfortunately I mostly had an unwieldy grass that flopped over rather than getting snipped by the blades. Had to give up and get modern with an electric weed eater instead.

    "Deliverance", after reading the book, just to see what all the fuss was about.

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Elderflower cider; light and refreshing on a hot summer's night.

    Show us your vintage-vintage inspired Engagement Ring!

    When we married, fancy rings were far out of the budget, so my engagement ring cost 25 pounds on the High Street, and over the years a couple of the diamond 'crumbs' fell out, so I had to stop wearing it. Last summer, over a date night dinner, he told me, "put down the bread". I did, and he...

    Gosh, if you lived nearer, I might consider a swap for some of those goblets. ;) Now that I know what to look for for my non-smoker's ash tray, I'll be keeping an eye out. Thanks.

    I don't think he had any other parts, as he was selling it as-is. Still, for $15 I reckon it's a charming bit of decoration. My first purchase from him was a deco phonograph cabinet that still had the turntable but the rest of the guts were long gone. It's pretty shabby, but has lovely lines...

    ^ Thanks for that. Those sure are pretty when they're polished up. I'll clean mine as best I can, and maybe even have a go at getting the base to light up again.

    Does someone know what this is? It used to light up at the bottom. The guy I got it from had thought maybe an ashtray, but I wonder who knows for sure? The square cutouts are different sizes, and the top bit is loose enough to spin around.

    Took myself to a (non-3-D) Gatsby matinee today.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Just came from the 60th anniversary showing of "Little Fugitive" at the art museum cinema. We've seen it on television several times, but couldn't resist the treat of a theatrical screening. Ah, the days when kids could have toy guns without anyone wigging out...

    What Song Would You Like Played At Your Funeral.

    My husband and I discuss this now and then (usually over a couple bottles of wine, with old music playing), and his choices have been made: "I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts", to begin, 'cos that's the sort of fellow he is, and finishing with Al Bowlly doing "Goodnight Sweetheart". I have...

    ^^^ Yes. I showed these pics to a friend in England who, knowing I make art from assorted things, said, "those are wonderful; will you be able to bring yourself to cut them up?". I immediately assured her I would never destroy them, but read and enjoy them, doing nothing else except possibly...

    Round 4 Beauty Box Thread!

    There is a bag of nail polish in the box, and as you can tell from the picture, I chose a couple for myself. So add away.

    After striking out at two estate sales that only had tacky modern junk, I happened upon a sidewalk sale at an antiques mall, where I scored these lovely magazines for a song.

    Round 4 Beauty Box Thread!

    I helped myself to a big old pile of goodies, but there's plenty left in the box. I'll be able to mail it Monday or Tuesday, so may find a few more things to stuff inside over the weekend.
