Thanks Heather! Thought that might be appening but didn't know when.

I found this about the company from a newspaper archive of Malone papers http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~mottgene/Malonepapers.html 1904 Jan 13: BALLARD J. O. Col W. C. SKINNER, of Hartford, Conn, was in Malone last week attending the meeting for reorganization of the firm of J. O...

Hopefully someone else will be able to help - I would have said 40s from the cut of the shoulders and bodice, but not quite wasp waisted enough to be a new look style. I'll do some looking too!

Fantastic Anessa! Photographs are just lovely. I do tend to think of new look as being very full skirted myself - gorgeous dress though!

Cool - very interesting. Thanks Linda!

Fantastic! And looks like you'll need a stack of signed photo's to go along with those book signings Jonathan so I hope you're prepared! :) :USETHUMBUP:

Ooh, lovely! I agree on the date, and think it will do very nicely :)

lol Sara, I think you may be right.. although you never know! I'd look and see if there are any flea markets advertised locally. I had a quick look on the tourism website but searches for vintage and antique came up blank. Should be lovely shopping or not - have fun!

and heres a thing from Luckymag http://www.luckymag.com/cityguides/rome_and_florence

I wish I did ! Found this info at epicurious.com "AN UP-AND-COMER In ancient Rome, the Suburra was a working-class area near the Imperial forums. Now known as Monti, the district is headed toward shabby chic. Most of the action is on the Via del Boschetto. Locals love Il Tarlo's (No. 2a...

There is a fair old vintage section in the Oxfam charity shop. Also Priestleys Vintage (11 Grape lane) http://www.citikey.com/business/10100860?category=10001&city=York&current=6&feature=Casual+Wear&total=48 Probably more little ones, used to be one down toward the university but that was...

Interesting to see how it works out - thanks lei!

In the mid 90s my boyfriend at the time would probably have been in trouble, as he favoured a very low slung jean. We'd stopped at a patisserie on the way into town, and nearly missed the bus. Yes, you've guessed it - we ran, I got on, turned back with the bus moving away to see him...

(and sorry, I didn't mean to post in vintage chatter. unless they are wearing vintage jeans perhaps :P )

Baggy trousers banned in Delcambre, Louisiana.. so no shooping now! http://www.metro.co.uk/news/article.html?in_article_id=52966&in_page_id=34

That's really bad! thanks for posting Jenn.

Hello :) You might find some responses in this thread http://www.vintagefashionguild.org/forums/viewthread.php?tid=42544 but hopefully some city folk will stop by and help you out too. Wish I was going on a shopping trip...

certainly will - when I get my camera back I will post pictures of my (currently ramshackle) outbuildings!

Aw, thanks Jenn. I just want to be less..um, wobbly!

Well I wish I did know more, as that looks to be an interesting auction! There are some denim experts about so hopefully someone will be able to give you more information :)

I sincerely hope so! :cool2:

Just thought I'd post as I have been pretty absent from the boards, and wanted to say hi! :hiya: Like everyone summer is busy busy trying to keep selling. I've opened another room at the antiques centre so my spare room is now nearly cleared of rails (just the top floor to go, lol!). Have...

Sorry, went AWOL on this post! Heather that would be great as no, I haven't found one yet. I know I've thrown out old raggy fake furs etc. aplenty over the years but stupidly didn't keep any of the fasteners.

Thanks Sara - I'll try that!

a furriers type hook and eye - the type you would see to close a fur or fake fur coat? I have a faux fur cape in cream and am looking for a closure for the neck, I believe it would have been a hook and eye rather than a button and loop affair. (Sorry no pictures, my camera has gone on the...

60s, and oh i do love wedding dresses!

I have a fairly skinny sharkskin effect tie with motif. I'm not entirely sure of date (I hate dating ties, but I would *think* late 50s early 60s) And before you ask, my camera has broken completely and i am photographless until I can borrom one or take this into the shop next week to fix...

Sadly you do have to rinse, but i managed to spot clean the area without water-rings (amazingly!)

I'm sure those will do the trick but Amodex ink and stain remover rocks. It's fairly pricy but I was completely amazed - I sound like one of those ads! - as it removed an enormous old (approx 80 years!) what I think was fountain pen ink from silk satin with no damage as one of those last resort...

Another one out of her depth - I thought the same Sara as it all just seems a bit clean and fresh looking.. interested to hear a more expert opinion!
