    Lindy Hop

    I've been dancing since 1996. I took lessons to get the basics down and then I said "bugs" to the lessons, real jitterbugs are those who learned on the floor. ;) I was very blessed in being around many great dancers down here in So Cal, I knew Eric and Silvia who used to teach at the Derby...

    old iron

    Let's see some photos! If I see it, I may be able to locate some parts for you. I have a friend here who collects irons and has all sorts of them some from the late 40s in the original boxes with booklets and everything! He sure loves his irons and I'm sure he has spare parts! Post a photo or...

    This "sucks"... the Hoover And Other Vintage Vacuum Cleaners

    Dumped the bag to the 700 Hoover the other day... That thing was FULL!!! No wonder they suggest it to be emptied after every use! lol These old cleaners do pick up dirt... I just love my '27 Hoover 700! Anyone else pick one up or may be thinking of investing in an antique Hoover?

    Lamp shades

    Well, the first shade is what they call a Victorian style, if you search on ebay for "Victorian shade" you'll find a slew of these shades in different shapes and some more flowery and others not so flowery. The thing is, I'm not sure why they're referred to as "Victorian" because electricity...

    Vintage Phones

    Woah, that is a unique color... I haven't seen one like that before. Looks to have been a hotel type of set... or, maybe an extension in a wealthy household. Nevertheless, it has the early bullet seamless E-1 handset... bravo! :eusa_clap

    Matching a Sport Coat

    Well, you're off to a good start. One thing I have learned over the years... It's not so much "Matching" that's important, because if it matched, it wouldn't be a sport outfit... right? It's about what would compliment the coat is the more accurate approach. I think the mocha flavored...

    Our own vintage town

    Well, let me set the record straight... The hippies I've met are those who believe that the world owes them a living and have little or no respect to property, proper hygiene, laws or contributing to society. The thought of a calm, relaxed community with kind and self respecting citizens...
