Can anyone help me with this please? The phone still needs repair.

Hi all, Hopefully this is the right section for this question. I was gifted with 2 pairs of vintage eyeglasses. While very cool, the plastic or whatever they are made out of is very badly cracked everywhere. Is this repairable or should I just toss them? Could I even sell them in this...

Yes, I did get pens -- thank you! I have a black and a clear tip in there. I put the red tip in my other red Esterbrook inkwell so they would match. I'd love some fancy glass inkwells like Shangas has, but I don't use dip pens all that often...

You can see my restoration of my vintage bakelite Esterbrook inkwell here. I have since gotten pens for it as well. I don't use it with ink very often because it's a pain to clean it with the ink reservoir. :)

Hi all, I have a Crosley desk telephone in need of repair. It looks like an old rotary phone, but is actually a newer phone. It's been working fine, but now has a very loud buzz. Crosley will not repair it because it is a discontinued model. Anyone know of a telephone repair place in the...

Hi all, I have no idea if I am posting this in the right place -- Mods, please feel free to move this to a more appropriate location if you see fit. I am starting to plan my wedding (yay!) and I would love the photos to be old Hollywood glam, and by that I would really like to capture the...

Hi Ladies, I haven't been on here in forever! Nice to see all of you again. I am looking for a pattern and I'm sure there must be one out there for this, but have not been able to find it in my Etsy searches. I want to make this dress that Gina Lollobrigida wore in Come September. Any...

When did they change "Cherries?" Recently?

Thanks, SayCiCi. I saw that one, but the original one that was my size was also $4. Le sigh.

I haven't been on here in way too long, so nice to meet you Christi! I think you are just too adorable in this pic and in this outfit! The jeans look great!

Butterick 2304 or something similar? Hello Ladies, Does anyone have Butterick 2304, size 36 bust? It was on etsy. I "favorited" it and kept looking at it and like an idiot never bought it. Now someone else bought it. I am kicking myself as it was my size and everything. :( :( :( I...

My grandmother is one of these women that gets a wash and set once a week. She does sometimes get a sleep spot, as some ladies here mentioned. She often sleeps carefully on her side, which may be to minimize hair mussing. She does have to touch it up in the morning, which involves adding a...

Where does one get a falcon figure like the movie?

Thank you. I'm actualy in So. Cal. It would be great to find a place down here, but maybe I can order from Al's?
