    What's behind your sweatband?

    Pardon me for intruding into the Men's domain - but since this was so timely for me I couldn't resist... I recently purchased a large lot of hats. As I was cleaning them up, a small folded piece of paper fell out. It was old & yellowed (I estimate the hat to be from the late 50's or so) with...

    Cleaning ties at home?

    I'm a bit late to this thread but came across it while looking around for safe ways to clean ties (that don't include the dreaded dry cleaners) I have, literally, hundreds of ties that I've collected over the years and I really need to start selling them off! Anyway -- I saw the comment about...

    SUIT STOLEN ON EBAY PART TWO.

    Howdy - I'm the seller of the great suit in question. I haven't been here in a long while... trying to actually get some work done when I'm online :-) I'm actually very pleased to have found a deserving buyer for that suit. I really hate selling items with moth damage - it makes me feel like...

    My Vintage Home

    Gosh! A 3 bedroom house for only $159k!! Wow. Trickeration-- I used to bartend at Lona's Wardlow Station across the street. Most miserable bartending experience EVER. I worked there for about 6 months. The customers were mean and demanding and tipped half as much as any other bar I'd worked...

    Favorite/worst job?

    Dahlia-- I've had several friends who worked as Characters and an old friend is, I think, still head of the lighting department for the show at the lake. What the heck is it called? I always remember it by their monicker "The Most Dangerous Show On Earth".. as quite a number or techies were...

    Rundown of 30's & 40's Shoes

    Decodoll-- you are a vintage buyer I could love. Do you know how many of your size shoes I find but pass up?

    Wow. I could swear I posted this the other day... but it's obviously not there! There are a few photos of my great aunt, who was 11 years old in 1941, on my "family photos" page. Can't help you with the clothing, though... Family Photos Just click on "1940's" along the right side...

    Favorite/worst job?

    Hmmm best job- I love what I do now. Nothing makes me happier than seeking out vintage clothing & decor from certain doom & finding homes for it with loving new owners. I love the hunt more than anything. I also loved my bartending job at a really faced paced nightclub. I worked 4-6 hours a...

    My Vintage Home

    Definately visit Space Invaders... even just to drool. It can be quite expensive. Also, the last time I was at Jan's Antique Mall over on Wardlow near... Orange, I think?... had a new booth all the way on the right side that sold only mid-century modern stuff. Very nice. We have a chrome...

    Pomade

    My husband takes a swirl of it onto his comb and heats it up with a hairdryer and continues to to use the hairdryer on it as he's combing it through his hair. He gets pretty good results that way :)

    Setting up house in the 1940s

    Our house was built by my great grandparents in 1939. It still has the original tile in the kitchen and bath. The kitchen is pale yellow tiles with cornflower blue trim & a corner sink. The bath has kind of a peachy tile with a dark peach (not quite brown) trim. Unfortunately, both will...

    Screen Names...

    Mine must seem rather obvious. It comes from my vintage business name. THAT, however, came from a casual conversation before opening my 2nd antique store. Someone asked me what the new store was going to be like and I said something like "ohh... it'll be like the old one, just elsewhere"
