Did anyone see this article about a rogue Owl attacking humans? :hysterical: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/mar/14/eagle-owl-caught-dutch-town-attacks-purmerend-netherlands "the large owl is suspected of a spate of mysterious attacks on citizens over the last year, prompting the city...

Hi Jenny, That mothball smell is mighty hard to remove. The only way I have ever managed it, is weeks of line drying outside in the fresh air, and even then traces may remain. I hope someone else will have a miracle solution for you :)

Hi Kevin, You could also look at buying true vintage frames rather than retro ones, and getting an optician to just fit clear lenses into them. I have often had this done for theatre shows. Just make sure the frame is in great condition and strong.

Amanda, the photo you chose is incredible, I want to make that costume right now!! :wub:

AMAZING! bow down wave

Brilliant Alice, everything looks terrific! :clapping:

Hi Melanie, I agree with Hollis and Nicole-it really must have been a costume at some stage. Can you remove the Velcro and restore it back to how it would have been?

:) Yes, they are hanging tapes for sure!

That is amazing, I wish I could visit it! I am so happy the National Trust have it- I bet they could make a lot of money from film and TV companies with that house!

Love your skirt Pauline, it looks fabulous and captures the 50's perfectly :USETHUMBUP:

:wow22: They are amazing!

Fabulous photos Lauren, and it looks 80's to me as well :)

HI Sandy-I am glad your family member enjoyed Australia- you really must visit here one day! :)

Our dollar is appalling right now against the US dollar. But that doesn't seem to be stopping folks buying does it! I know someone that has worked on Miss Fishers Murder Mysteries. I think they actually do make quite a lot of her wardrobe, augmented with real vintage clothing and accessories.

It's interesting to see Brisbane ( my home town) on this list. This may be currently influenced by popular fashion magazines being published here, like 'Frankie" and 'Peppermint'. These are targeted at younger folk, mostly women, with a heavy etsy influence.

That was fabulous, especially seeing how the pleating is done. :USETHUMBUP:

Oh my, they are just exquisite pieces- swoon! :wub: They look late 30's-40's to me, but as always, lets wait to hear from the rest of the team for more validation.

Welcome Laura, I hope we can see your finds soon too! :hiya:

Beautiful dress, and those serged seams look original to me. I have often used a fine serged edge on delicate fashion garments I have made and also theatre costumes- if you have the right machine you can get a very nice finish. My union special overlocker is very old, and a version of the same...

Hi Stitchgypsy, Can you please upload some photos for us? then we can better help you. They sound fabulous! Cheers Gayle

I've been to 2 of them, wish it was more!! and I have to say- the Museo Salvatore Ferragamo was just amazing!

ha ha Melanie- I thought you would also like it! I shouldn't have splurged, I have SO many bags already, but sometimes you see something so beautiful you just have to go for it!

Another huge thank you everyone for such kind words hello kitty emoti

OMG I think I have to have that bag Maggie- seriously! :wub: Purchased!! like I need another bag really :hysterical:, but I just couldn't resist!

Swoon! OMG they are amazing, and I agree with Jonathon, they appear to be the real deal circa 1960's.

Thank you so much everyone :wub:

Love it Karin- and thanks for including me. One of these days I am going to crack and buy my favourite-that Telephone cable bag of Tiffany's! :cheer:

Golly- Thank you so much everyone for such kind words- truly.:wub: This is a great little morale pick me up right now- as I still don't have any work right now- although there is some on the horizon in February.
