    Does anyone know of a foolproof way to remove mothball odors

    Dry Cleaning Does NOT remove that horrid odor. It helps, but then you still have to air it for ever. We hung some things in one of the store rooms with a fan & I spray tons of Oust in there every day. An ionizer may also help. and Jonathan? ewwww!

    Atomic Chickens

    Maybe you could call them 'Queer (as in Odd) Roosters'. That oughtta get a few hits. <font size=1>Sometimes I just crack me up.</font> Actually I really do think they're roosters rather than hens or chicks. Which also opens up the door for "Crazy Cocks." <font size=1>O No - I...

    Another Look at Alfred Shaheen

    Just wanted to share this with y'all. This is from a long lounger. It's different in that the fabric is a kind of nylon blend. Almost like curtain sheers. LOL The screen printing is done in metallic silver & the pink & olive have a kind of flocked feeling to them. Enjoy! <img...

    Discussion: As A Buyer - What Do You Look For?

    Great Discussion! I like sellers with "me" pages. Because I think that's where you actually find out who you may be dealing with if they have lower feedback or are on the new side. I.E. my pal velvetelvisvintage, who seldom sells on eBay, but has GREAT stuff when she does. I like Clear...

    Man, oh Man....What can I use for keywords for these VTA items?

    That orange jumpsuit is awesome. The store name is Orbach's. They were a High End Dept store in California when I was a kid. I don't know if they're still in biz or not. I like Sue's title. If you don't wanna use that many characters, you could go with "Op Art Creamsicle Swirl" on it...

    Should I separate this 3pc set? And is it vintage?

    Cool! These were extra popular & quite pricey in tourist trap towns in the late 70's. A lot of them sold at dockside boutiques, the beach towns, etc. Even Vegas, Baby! So ya may wanna add cruis' and or beach to yer auction somewhere. I always wanted one of the back then. I've had a few...

    Advice on Vintage shopping, Az,Tx, La?

    Theresa - The food in Nawlins is the best in the universe! As is the music. A word of advice. If you decide to hang out for a day or two, the best music isn't on Bourbon street. Oh - it's good there, but the music Uptown at the Maple Leaf Bar & a few others close to it is a Lot better &...

    Advice on Vintage shopping, Az,Tx, La?

    Hey Theresa; I only know about New Orleans. And I haven't been there is almost ten years. There is a store called "Value City" on Canal & Carrollton. Close to the freeway. It's large & it used to be cheap. Also there are tons of little junk stores in and around the French Quarter. The...
