Treasures @ Debbie's Part 2

I have been house sitting for my sister Debbie this past week. I wanted to share some of the cool treasures I love in her house.

The rotary phone was my grandmothers who preferred using that phone till she died. I also saw that Debbie had my grandmothers brush, it was crazy how just seeing it brought back the smell of her bathroom. I found the swim cap when getting read for a swim. Here are a couple of dresses I tried on but forgot to post about, I loved the red buttons that looked like lady bugs sitting on my shoulder.  No matter how much I love all the little treasures in Debbie's house I am excited to have the real treasures back (yes I just did that). 

Treasures @ Debbie's Part 1

Today I played dress up in Debbie's vintage clothing. She sells them at etsy.com her shops name is debsfreckles. This is only a few from one closet there is another which I will explore later.

The last dress was my favorite it made me feel like Grace Kelly. 

Time Traveler - The 20's

Welcome to what I hope will turn into a series of posts I am going to call my "Time Traveler" posts and in them I will highlight time periods I dream of traveling through time to see. It will help me narrow down which ones are my favorite so if the opportunity presents its self I will know which time to visit first.
There are many things that come to mind when I try and decide on an era, like personal hygiene practices for example, but probably one of the main things to consider is the fashion.

Watching Midnight In Paris made me want to be a flapper for Halloween again. I had something come up and had to leave the movie early and wasn't actually able to finish it but what I did see I enjoyed. The opening shots of Paris are reason enough to see the movie.

I love the 20's jargon, it is all the Bee's Knees and the Cat's Meow, and a really fun movie to show fashion, music, jargon & dancing of the 20's is Thoroughly Modern Millie.

I am not sure what is so appealing about gangsters but I do love a good gangster movie and even more so if it is funny. Oscar has great lines that my family like to quote, not to mention a huge cast. I especially love Tim Curry as Dr. Poole...

This isn't one of my favorite Dr. Poole moments but there is a shocking lack of good Oscar clips on YouTube in English.
I have not read a lot of books that involve the 20's I am not a fan of The Great Gatsby although I did read it and see the movie (Robert Redford & the 20's of course I watched it).

And I am sure I will watch the remake with Leonardo DiCaprio & Carey Mulligan just because I am sure the dresses & movie will be pretty.

I am already looking forward to picking my next era to explore.
