Like I wish they'd do on MadMen....I'm ready for them to go back to the beginning time again. What a fun tag sale you went to. I love it when I can go to a flea market with just a few buck and come home with something I love. I once went with $10 and came home with a chiffon rhinestone silk scarf attached to a rhinestone bracelet...that dated back to the 30's. I got it for $5 and was thrilled!

You might want to consider Woolite for the tux if it is wool. It is hard to go wrong for two bucks, worst case, if it won't whiten, make it part of a James Bond costume and act as if you just whacked a few SMERSH bad guys between hands of baccarat. Or tie dye it.

I'm so happy to see that you guys are finding some good estate sales to hit. There haven't been any here in the last few weeks worth the gas. Maddie was really disappointed that there aren't any to go to this weekend since she is on Spring Break. And with Easter, there will be no flea market on Sunday. Poor kid, guess we will have to go thrifting today! I love that crock pot. I have never seen anything like it. You have to use it!! Now, I know that you are hesitant about the whole Oxy Clean soaking thing but you really should try it. You only paid $2 so what do you have to lose? I've paid a whole lot more for tablecloths that I have put through this process. I wonder if taking it to a dry cleaners would work? Good luck!<br /><br />EricaThrifterSistershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534524822325441476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865470739302902307.post-77821326168649571272013-03-29T08:34:58.771-05:002013-03-29T08:34:58.771-05:00Wow, you made some really great things! If there&#...Wow, you made some really great things! If there's any wool in that tux jacket, I'd be afraid it would shrink to the size of a postage stamp if put in water. I wonder what would happen if you hung it out in the sun every day this summer? That might lighten it some. I've heard that a soak in hydrogen peroxide whitens washable wool, but maybe you need to consult someone at a really good dry cleaners for this one.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865470739302902307.post-71007547839755642452013-03-29T08:33:08.287-05:002013-03-29T08:33:08.287-05:00Hi Mick! This was fun to go back and revisit this ...Hi Mick! This was fun to go back and revisit this period in my past. It was exactly as it looks Mick. I too remember the day that we were told of JFK's death. I was in grade 10 at a Catholic high school where there were a lot of American nuns teaching. You would probably not believe the ensuing scene and sounds that went through he school.<br />It is not disrespectful at all what you and your friends are doing. I admire your enthusiasm and respect you have for the past.<br />Have a great weekend and happy hunting! Great finds as usual.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11199777195853274898noreply@blogger.com
