Sadly my Grandma passed away last year, but as a child I spent Sunday afternoons in the winter watching old movies with her and listening to tales of 'the old days', it has made the 40s and 50s come to life for me because I felt like I was there with her as she told her stories (and Grandad too, he was a POW).<br />All the best<br />xxxtalking to Hattiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13977449913403888243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085997960024984026.post-58529159583529336092011-02-27T09:35:26.485-05:002011-02-27T09:35:26.485-05:00Hi, Hattie- Thanks for reading!

I'm shocked by anyone who thinks that vintage and being a mom doesn't go together! I've been wearing vintage clothing every day since my daughter was 3 months old. I've saved money buying vintage/thrifted clothes and I save money and time on laundry since my vintage isn't washed after one wearing like modern clothes. I used old-fashioned methods of baby care like making my own baby food and using cloth diapers. Living a "vintage lifestyle" is very helpful to a parent. I think one commenter on that site hit the nail on the head when they said that the Time Warp Wives "haven't looked further than dresses and films" There is much more to be learned from bygone eras than how to do pin curls and look fabulous! Some of my most useful knowledge has come from my Great Grandmother's experience growing up during the depression and raising her kids during and after the war.Brittany_Va-VoomVintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377031677999463069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085997960024984026.post-39329552340260711312011-02-27T05:44:24.550-05:002011-02-27T05:44:24.550-05:00Hello, I am new to your blog and spending some tim...Hello, I am new to your blog and spending some time on a lazy Sunday morning reading your back posts :0) I am always happy to see vintage ladies who are Mummies or Mummies-to-be. The Time Warp Wives ladies don't seem to think the two go together, but I do. <br />Link to video here - http://www.channel4.com/programmes/time-warp-wives/4od#2918313<br /><br />I look forward to more posts.<br />xxxtalking to Hattiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13977449913403888243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085997960024984026.post-14897196832029878122011-02-26T12:21:38.590-05:002011-02-26T12:21:38.590-05:00I love these!

We also went into the route 66 museum along the way and they had loads of them up on the wall- so sweet, they really do brighten up your journey!<br /><br />xxxRachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269073051673051425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085997960024984026.post-47472083139311201012011-02-25T13:15:52.270-05:002011-02-25T13:15:52.270-05:00These are great.

My last blog post was on the same subject and I cheered myself up by shopping on Etsy for cheerful blue items. <br /><br />I am old enough to know about Burma Shave but the road signs were already gone. Thanks for sharing the jingles and I will just say that my daughter was born the morning after a day of intense housework...just saying.<br /><br />LynneAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03834795483116880383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085997960024984026.post-74461290295502894192011-02-24T16:24:33.356-05:002011-02-24T16:24:33.356-05:00I've never heard of Burma Shave but loving it!...I've never heard of Burma Shave but loving it! <br /><br />No wonder you're feeling blue, it's that time of year.
