    1920s party

    If it's going to be hot, ditch the tie. Wear a cravat/ascot if you have one/some at your disposal.

    I love the pans and the spectacles. I daresay someone will recognise the bits and pieces.

    The house that time forgot: family home frozen in the 1920s for 70 years

    I don't, for one. Unless they inherited one, but purchased another.

    You're a larger fellow, Mike. Maybe you should try and pinch it off him and save it for posterity!!

    *winces* That's gotta be painful! I have a bad-ish habit of writing stuff down on lots of little bits of notepaper and post-its and everything, and leaving them all over the place. Dates, appointments, phone-numbers and such. I've been after a nice bill-spike for a while, so that I had one...

    I'm always on the lookout for any old desktop nicknacks. Finding a modern one of these is hard enough. So imagine my surprise when I found an antique one! A solid brass antique bill-spike :)

    The house that time forgot: family home frozen in the 1920s for 70 years

    What a fascinating thing! This is much better than any museum recreation, purely because it's been lived in. It's not artificially created - it's the result of actual family life from so long ago. One thing that struck me as interesting - they have two pianos. One in the living-room, and one...

    I love that cabinet in the corner with the radio on top of it.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I also added "The Birds" to my Hitchcock run last night. I think that was a mistake.

    That's a beautiful linen suit! I agree, don't cut it up. You'll probably regret it later on.

    CNN Article: Handwriting on the Decline

    Writing is very important to me. I write cursive, and legibility is a big deal to me. I went to the local welfare office last week for an appointment, and I handed in a medical form filled in, signed and stamped by my doctor. I handed the document to the assessor or whatever, and apologised...

    How to Antique Shiny Brass?

    Shiny brass will age and patina in time, just through constant rubbing and contact with one's hands. I have a brass watch-chain that does that all the time, and I keep having to buff it with Brasso. That said, on the opposite side of the fence - if you have brass that you've shineyed up and...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I have the house to myself tonight. So I'm going on a Hitchcock Kick. I have lined up two films to watch: "Rear Window", and "The Lady Vanishes".

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I just finished watching that "Hitchcock" movie from 2012. Not bad. I reckon it could've been longer and more detailed, though. There were elements about the film which weren't there which I think would've improved it.

    What are you listening to?

    I am listening to "Funeral March of a Marionette", as adapted for television, and the program "Alfred Hitchcock Presents..."

    Help with {date or identify} a hat please.....!

    A light grey homburg with black ribbon should be pretty easy to find. Jeremy Brett also wore a jet black one in the series.

    Period Films and Inaccuraces

    If you don't think so, you're welcome to disagree. But there inaccuracies or "dramatic license" or whatever in there. And a fair bit of it.
