    The tobacco speakeasy...

    For starters, I am not a smoker, but I love smoking. I'm the typical 1930s type of social smoker, when I have guests I offer them a cigarette and smoke one myself, when I go out dancing and am offered a smoke, I'll enjoy it. I also feel bars just aren't complete without smokers and cigarette...

    My dream; a 1930s Lunchroom

    Cloggies unite! Are you Dutch? Come on in.

    I've noticed a few Dutch people here and there and because being vintage in the Netherlands isn't as big as it probably is in other countries, I thought it might be a good idea for all us clog wearing, cheese eating, tulip loving Dutch people to sign in. Maybe even get together for a cup of tea...

    Offering ciggies to visitors

    Following the good old fashioned custom of hospitality I have bought a nice cigaretteholder and offer all my visitors cigarettes. I dont smoke myself, but because smoking was so terribly popular back then I feel that a authentic house should have ashtrays and should be welcome to smokers. So...

    Rare Dutch Colour Photos from the 1930s

    Around 1935 a Dutch man invented a way of making colour photos that were better then any other at the time. He made lots of photos with his 3 lense system but the depression kept his project from becoming a sucess. By the time he finally succeeded in marketing his film, other, bigger companies...

    I have done something I thought I would never do... I have thrown away my tv! I got so annoyed by the rubbish thats on it, how ugly it looked in my old fashioned room and how it turned me into a zombie watching the box for hours while I should be doing something useful! So now I no longer...

    I love being as authentic as possible but at events I usually spend the night un a unauthentic manner. Once or twice I slept in the corner of a fieldhospital ward on top of a few greatcoats, but in most cases there was something not correct about how I slept. I started working on that by...
