    Snoods! Handmade ones for sale

    So I made a few snoods and they are on my etsy store. Have a look-see if you wish. If you don't want to go thru Etsy, you can PM me and we can talk thru that. www.mamagnome.etsy.com ps: I used original 1940's patterns and I only use 100% cotton or 100% wool so they are period correct.

    Stinky suitcases

    I have 5 suitcases from the 40's. And they stink! Musty type smell. And every time that I use them, whatever I put in them smells like the suitcases. It's an offensive smell to me and it grosses me out. I've cleaned them with soap and water. Febreeze. Baking soda (the ones you put in your...

    Do I have to curl my hair to be vintage accurate?

    I LOVE looking at original photos and movies and study fashions and hair. But I haven't seen any WW2 era photos of women with just washed and dried straight hair. Did EVERY SINGLE WOMAN during wartime in every country curl their hair at night, or get a marcel wave, or get a perm???? I look at...

    Ever go on a vintage hiatus?

    I've been doing the vintage thing for over 7 years now. I let it rule what haircut I get, what glasses I get, etc. I think I want to get something modern next time. I'm not going to give up vintage forever. I still love to collect my things I collect. And I will never give up shopping at...

    Reproduction 50s stoves and fridges

    Have you seen Rachel Ray's repro 50's stove and fridge on her show? (BTW: I can't stand her, I was just flipping around and saw it) They don't sell them at Sears or Home Depot, etc. Does anyone know where you can buy them? Does anyone know how much they cost? I MUST HAVE!!!

    My new WW2 hobby- making homefront items

    I need another hobby like I need another hole in my head, but as a reenactor, anything WW2 is a disease. I LOVE to crochet. So I've been making some repro scarves. I found the PERFECT USGI mustardy OD 100% wool yarn (didn't photo too well), so I'm very excited about that. I even found a roll...

    Do you love linens?

    I do. And what's funny, I never use them. I have a small collection of 40's tablecloths. But I love to look at them. Here is a great website to windowshop: http://www.retro-redheads.com/ I also have a collection of UGLY 70s potholders and cloth napkins. I do use those. The uglier, the better...

    Stars you are in love with

    Today on TCM they were playing Thin Man movies all day long. I've never seen any of them! OK, don't all throw pillows at me at once! Well, I watched the second one and it was a great movie. Anyway...I am now officially in love with William Powell. (Don't tell my husband). I was swooning over...
