Angus great idea I don’t know why I didn’t think of Madame Paulette’s… they recovered a jacket for me. Fantastic idea. I’m actually headed to NY Saturday. Perfect!

Thanks for suggestions! Boilwash: yes it’s confirmed silk Delco and Askolover: I am really hesitant with peroxide or and bleaching agent on silk fibers I received the spot/stain remover yesterday and followed the directions. It lessened the intensity of the stain maybe 10 percent after...

Eddie, I think your idea is a possibility, and if all else fails I will take it to a pro and see what can be done Circle: I had contemplated exactly what you suspected, I use Vectra on my ties and it truly is a great product, however I do believe the Vectra had impregnated the fibers and may be...

Thanks guys Eddie tried the baking soda and lemon juice with no luck. I hesitated using peroxide as the scarf is old and that pink border may lift with the stain. I have ordered a spot remover that claims to have no bleaching action and “ very safe for silk “ I feel if I cannot lift the stains...

Thanks Eddie, I’ll give myp the baking soda and lemon juice a shot. I’ll let ya know the outcome! Aganin thank you .

Opened a box of some of my mom’s items and I came across a beautiful silk scarf she purchased in the 1970s There are several stains on the border of the scarf, which I cannot for the life of me, lift. I have tried diluted vinegar, Fels Naptha, Woolite, Shout ( no oxy ) and it will not budge. I...

Take a view of this video have used an Ironrite for years on clothing items as well as flat items. The attached video is an instructional video from the 1949s. It is somewhat goofy, however it is very easy to learn techniques from the film. A search on this forum will also provide...

My two small ovens both smaller one ( Redi Baker ) from late 1940s. Larger one ( Redi Oven ) from early 1950s I use one or the other ( or both ) daily. They heat quickly and I can toast and bake in these. Perfectly bale biscuits. Toast is also perfect in these. I rarely use my large oven...

7 Cent Coupon Eddie, No truer words have been typed! I thought exactly the same regarding that coupon and it’s worth today versus 1972 dollars. I have always saved at retailers by using coupons. My partner saw.me save 47.00 at the grocery recently and I think finally he is a believer. I...

Photo 2 Tom, photo 2 clearly shows the damaged front plate lying beside the mixer? Any chance of a epoxy glue to try and piece the plate together?

No Iron Shirts - Longevity and Stain Removal I first learned about these shirts years ago at Brooks Brothers. I hang most everything to dry and these shirts always line dried fairly wrinkle free, I would iron them and they stay nice all day. I never noticed the no iron process decreasing...

Radio City Christmas Angus…. We loved the new show… I think they use every show technology possible in this show. From lasers to drones…show was fantastic. Yes, Saks windows were nice as well. Macy’s were good. I think Bergdorf’s is really the only store with a major emphasis on the...

Ralph, so true. The team at Bergdorf’s is literally a full time department with 15 or so full time artisans. You are right, there was a time when window dressing and display windows were very highly regarded. These photos really don’t do justice to the intricate and detailed work of these...

Joe and I resumed our holiday tradition(s) this year and while in the city a walk over to Bergdorf Goodman to see the windows. They have a team that works on the holiday windows all year. When you see the windows and realize everything is hand done/made/created. Any beading, mosaic tile laid...

Pete and the great room…. Red rover, red rover, send Pete right over. Lol.

Thank you Eddie. you have definitely more patience than I could ever conjure. You are correct again, The entire project will be at the very least 120K per unit / resident. Some of us have converted two or more units into one unit. This of course will be in multiples of what ever the...

Eddie, Decided not to hijack John's Thanksgiving thread with this subject and start this thread to answer ya. You deduced correctly. This demolition/removal of the balconies and replacement thereof will be around 120K. Yes, we attend the HOA meetings. The board president is sharp and has a...

Centerpieces Hey Eddie! That’s it! It’s identical. I borrowed it from the condo management office when I saw it delivered..lovely arrangement. Our building is on the beach and while it was one of the first high rise buildings in Lauderdale, after the disaster in Miami/Seaside they are...
