In my last post I wrote about the man with the assorted printing presses; well, on the other side of the small passageway, behind another door, a similar but somewhat shorter and greyer oldish man with specs and overalls was...

Into the printer's den

Fleur @Fleura (35062) • United Kingdom 3 Apr

So apart from the pottery (and discussions around artificial intelligence) that I mentioned in my previous post, another interesting aspect to my past week was that the workshop was held in a building (actually an old motor...

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954)

celticeagle @celticeagle (189915) • Boise, Idaho 12 Mar

I have sent for three vintage films to add to my collection. I talked about the Thin Man series yesterday. Today the one I get a kick out of is "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers". It is set in 1850s Oregon, and it has Howard Keel...

I Sent For Some Movies

celticeagle @celticeagle (189915) • Boise, Idaho 10 Mar

I have been wanting to watch a couple movies and can't find them on any apps so I decided to order some from my favorite website. I really enjoy vintage movies from the mid 30s up to the 60s. I ordered The Thin Man series from the...

My Fun Vintage Corner

Loretta @noni1959 (13048) • United States 8 Mar

I’ve been collecting little treasures from thrift stores lately and I’m really enjoying my small cart corner beside my bed. I use it instead of an end table, with a small three-drawer apothecary table on the other side. I’ve...

Is cleaning out yours or a relative's attic on your "to do " list? You may not realize it but some of the stuff you are about to give to Goodwill or put in the dumpster could be worth a lot of money. Here is a list of some items...

Trying something different...

Stacey @xstitcher (39038) • Petaluma, California 27 Oct

I have this bag of "dress gloves" that I'm guessing came from Mom--maybe even Grandma (Mom's mom). I thought I would try putting them up on eBay. There's 7-12 pairs (at least, I hope they're all pairs) of gloves in a big...

Would you put this on your dressing table?

Fleur @Fleura (35062) • United Kingdom 6 Oct

The post by @JudyEv brought this up. In her photo of the wax woman getting ready for bed from the museum, there is a curved brush on the dressing table along with a mirror, candle sticks, trinket boxes etc. And she’s using a...

In Darjeeling the colonial clocks are lovely

Dr Souvik Chatterji @sathviksouvik (23245) 17 Sep

There are many colonial remains in the hill stations in India. There is a lovely British clock in the Darjeeling main road. Still the clock functions. There is a kind of vintage effect of these...

The Amazing Mr. X (1948)

celticeagle @celticeagle (189915) • Boise, Idaho 29 Apr 25

I love old (1935 to 1960) vintage movies. Thrillers, noir, mystery, and even horror are my jam for so many reasons. Last night I found an oldie on one of the movie channels on YouTube. This one was about a young woman who is a...

What is Your Favorite Genre?

celticeagle @celticeagle (189915) • Boise, Idaho 4 Apr 25

I love a good vintage movie from 1935 - 1959. The 60s were a lot of stupid ones but from there were some pretty good movies. With the first Terminator movie, I began to enjoy cyborg and time travel. Some other favorites are...

vintage chest drawer

@n.J @Iam_jauntyjen (5452) 21 Jan 25

I have a thing for vintage items. I saw this gorgeous vintage drawer chest. But the price is over 200,000 Korean Won. It is made of real wood. I am thinking of buying it, however, it is a bit expensive.

Do you like vintage or classic cars?

Pitstop @pitstop (15551) • Australia 28 Nov 24

I saw this set of two classic cars parked outside a wedding venue in the city. They looked so classy! I love seeing vintage or classic cars or any vehicle with a retro touch. Obviously someone has been taking really good care of...

YouTube is Becoming a Real Problem

celticeagle @celticeagle (189915) • Boise, Idaho 30 May 24

I think I may need AA or their 12-step program at least. I find myself watching more and more on YouTube. I started watching the ex-Scientology folk and have gotten to watch about 4 almost daily. Then I found a gal that was...

A real vintage sherry

Fleur @Fleura (35062) • United Kingdom 19 Feb 24

I’m still working my way through boxes of things from my parents’ home, even though they died several years ago now. One thing they had accumulated was several bottles of wines and spirits. To an outsider, at first glance it...

Two Great Movies

celticeagle @celticeagle (189915) • Boise, Idaho 25 Dec 23

I enjoy vintage movies from the mid-30s to 1959. The '60s was a real bust in my opinion. Then there were many good ones from the 70s to the present day. I watched two great ones last night which I will share with you below. I...

How things have changed!

Fleur @Fleura (35062) • United Kingdom 13 Oct 23

Change often happens slowly and gradually, so that we don’t realise quite how much has happened until something brings the situation into sharp focus. At an agricultural show in the summer there was a parade of tractors, and that...

Fleur @Fleura (35062) • United Kingdom 6 Sep 23

As most of you know I am a great recycler, saver of waste, and believer in repurposing anything and saving any useful items. And I very rarely buy new things, almost all of our furniture and household items, for example, have...
