Where did I go wrong? Please help with my antique booth I have put so much of my heart, money and time into starting a little antique booth at my local market. Not sure where I went wrong with the design but it’s definitely all very wrong. I wanted it to look English cottage, with a bit of French country. I wanted it to feel warm, cozy, feminine, soft.

Can anyone advise me on how to clean antique stereoscope photos? I have a bunch of these old stereoscope photos that belonged to a family member.

There are a handful of them that are damaged beyond repair that I can prac…

LPT: Instead of buying cheap plastic dinnerware, buy used restaurantware. It’s very sturdy and the vintage stuff is inexpensive if you don’t have to pay shipping (i.e., buy it from a local antique shop or at an estate sale).

LPT: Instead of buying cheap plastic dinnerware, buy used restaurantware. It’s very sturdy and the vintage stuff is inexpensive if you don’t have to pay shipping (i.e., buy it from a local antique shop or at an estate sale). Restaurantware is very resilient — it resists chips and breakage to an incredible extent. There are a lot of great vintage patterns (see, e.g., Syracuse, Iroquois or Buffalo china).
