Hello everyone. If you stop by my blog later today, you'll see another BURDA Wednesday post, but until hat one's out, I have for you: The pictures of the home of Liverpool's most celebrated photographer - Edward Chambré Hardman :wink:
What to read on a Friday? Go to my blog, and read a bit contraversal article on plastic surgery done in 1930s.
Hey there. I've been busy collecting some interesting articles, so aside from regular Burda magazne that I have for you on Wednesday, I also posted a sewing how-to on making aprons that are more "classy" than usefull, but.. And, just today, I'm continuing with "house is a home" series, but with an interesting twist. Go, check it out. :thumb:
Today I shared that I am addict. I am addicted to cardigans that is! Check out my rapidly expanding collection here.
StrayCat, are you going to get a rotary? We have one and I love it. :love: Granted, it's a candlestick phone and weighs a ton, so conversations aren't long and drawn out, but that's not a bad thing. It's an early 1930's, Western Electric with a bullnose and a separate ring box; all original parts exept for the cloth on the cord and that it has been rewired to work in modern day phone lines. What was really interesting was how friends who had never "experienced" a phone like this handled it. One put her fingers in the dial and began to dial counterclockwise. She couldn't understand why it wouldn't dial and proclaimed it a "left handed phone." Another one put the ear piece to his mouth and the mouth piece to his ear and wondered why he couldn't hear anyone on the other line. And to make life even sweeter (well, more amusing for me anyway), these friends are well respected attorneys who luckily, have just as tremendous senses of humor too.
As a matter of fact, if you've taken a closer look - it is NOT a rotary phone. It only looks like one. You see, unfotunately we're on the dialing-system that uses digital codes, so rotary phones are no longer supported (you can't "press one after the beep" - since you CAN NOT press any number on a rotary phone) lol So, I had to opt for a "look alike"
