| I wish Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was real | | 2007-10-25 00:59:00 | | I can honestly say that I wish the scientific breakthrough featured in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was real. The scientific breakthrough I speak of is the ability for specially trained technicians to completely erase the memories of a specific person in your life, AKA targeted memory erasure. This is of course done when a relationship turns sour. The possibility of not knowing the pain of losing someone you love is quite appealing to any and all who have lost. It is done in such a way that you don't even know it ever happened. However, Eternal Sunshine also teaches us the grand lesson that it is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all, as Joel fights tooth and nail to cling to any memory of his beloved Clementine.I miss you.... | | By: Sunrise on the Sufferbus | | |
| | The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Vintage Hankie | | 2007-02-06 15:34:00 | | I have a slowly, ever growing stash of vintage handkerchiefs. Like aprons, they're another vintage textile that's irresistably cute & charming and hard to pass up. And they usually come in big bunches through an estate and every lady seemed to have them, often in copious amounts, evidently.What's great about that is many, many were stored away & never used (cause truly who wants a really used one now anyway) and they are made of some very fine fabrics - delicate cotton voiles from Switzerland, linen from Ireland and silks with intricate embroideries & patterns, etc. Some are fairly collectible for obvious reasons - they were designed by well known textile designers of the day who put a fair amount of artistry into the small square of fabric. Some are unique souvenir pieces from distant, visited places, some were brought back by sweethearts during the war, some commemorate holidays.Another great aspect of vintage hankies is they're rather inexpensive and still fairly common - so if you're thinking of jumping into the great and wondrous sea of collecting - starting a vintage hankie collection is great way to stick your big toe in.So I will be adding a selection of a few of some of my favorites - the 40s/50s era brightly colored cotton florals. They have the same appeal to me as do the printed cotton tablecloths of that era - conjuring up cheery warm feelings of home.And here's a link to an article with some fine suggestions for uses for them, from window valences to basket liners. Surely we don't want to use them for their original intended purpose (that's unsanitary by today's standards) and these days waving one around in the air & nonchalantly letting it flutter to the ground in view of a desirable male member of the species won't likely illicit the intended response. But you could try it, you never know.... | | By: Mystique Vintage Clothing Blog | | |
