Or, How to research a weird vintage garment.<br />
<br />
<br />
So, a few years ago I found these, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/399769913/vintage-30s-romper-gym-suit-green-30s" target="_blank">which are now listed at the etsy funkomavintage shop :</a><br />

<br />
All I could think of to call it was....gym clothes...bloomers...<br />
I've lately been on a bloomers kick because this find was in December when I was in the midst of whine-fest about how much I hate Winter (because I do)... and in the fall of 2008 I started sewing bloomers from cashmere.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/funkoma/ari171.jpg" /><br />
<br />
The Thought of a Gym Suit....stirred up a lot of painful, agonizing memories of <span style="font-weight: bold;">Gym Class</span>, and the Awful Gymsuit we were forced to wear in junior and high school. I suspect, that just at the moment when we are facing the horrifying changes our bodies go through in that time of our young lives, we are forced to wear the most universally unflattering garment ever devised.....save for tampons (not really a garment) or The Burka...maybe wood clogs are worse....Let me introduce Amelia Bloomer....<br />
<img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/funkoma/Bloomer.gif" height="400" width="291" /><br />
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bloomer.gif">this pic is from virgina.edu</a><br />
<br />
Research revealed that the spunky <a href="http://www2.kenyon.edu/Khistory/frontier/ameliabloomer.htm">Amelia Bloomer</a> encouraged the wearing of long baggy pants with ankle cuffs that were just dandy for enraging the menfolk and the uptight women who aligned with them, and for actually Enjoying Life unrestricted by 42 petticoats and 4 layers of wool skirts...and that's just from the waist down...horrors on the rib cage squashing corsets...(another post just for that!)<br />
<br />
Though the puffy pants and shorts are now known as Bloomers, Mrs. Bloomer was influenced by 1850's era <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amelia_Bloomer">Women's Libber....Libby Miller</a> and her cousin Elizabeth Cady Stanton.<br />
<br />
Exercise and sports were becoming quite popular about this time with the invention of the <a href="http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/blbicycle.htm">bicycle</a> and baseball towards the end of the 19th century, and new clothing styles were invented, since catching ones petticoat in the spokes could lead to catastrophe.(google Isadora Duncan for a sickening lesson on Fashion as Unintentional Suicide)<br />
<br />

<a href="http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://chestofbooks.com/crafts/needlework/School-Sewing/images/Suggestions-For-Optional-Modification-115.jpg&imgrefurl=http://chestofbooks.com/crafts/needlework/School-Sewing/Base-Ball-Suit.html&usg=__7ZYBq9ZeUFpAUVrr3HQIz4DL70Q=&h=615&w=368&sz=21&hl=en&start=37&um=1&tbnid=pbHVe5kia--DBM:&tbnh=136&tbnw=81&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dgym%2Bsuit%26ndsp%3D20%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26sa%3DN%26start%3D20%26um%3D1"><br />Middies , Middy shirts and Bloomers</a> took over casual wear like wildfire because of comfort and cuteness. These 2 piece outfits for sports evolved to one piece for gymnasium wear and exercise. As things do, the middy lost its collar, tie and sleeves by the 30s, but kept the elastic bloomer leg. Buttons on the shoulder were the way in and out.<br />
In the book linked above, <span style="font-style: italic;">School Sewing Based On Home Problems</span>, published in 1916, we see a Middy gym suit, and a swimsuit with buttoned shoulders similar to mine.<br />

<br />
I am koo koo for anything nautical, but I've never (to my knowledge) dated a Sailor. But I love middies, love nautical themes and love living near Big Water, aka Pacific Ocean.<br />
<br />
By the 40s, shirt styles with front buttons and collars with short sleeves were back in style.<br />
These were paired with shorts, mostly without bloomers, but the bloomers were under the skirts or under the shorts.<br />
<br />
In the 50s and 60s, they looked <a href="http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.loti.com/then_now/FP-images/gymsuit2.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.loti.com/then_now/Gym_Uniforms_of_the_50s_and_60s.htm&usg=__8-eZI7Kg4tpBvxtAMyTE19duv1c=&h=175&w=100&sz=5&hl=en&start=150&um=1&tbnid=PSg7r5qfl9YKzM:&tbnh=100&tbnw=57&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dvintage%2Bathletic%2Btogs%26ndsp%3D20%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26hs%3D6iM%26sa%3DN%26start%3D140%26um%3D1">like this mostly.<br /><br /><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/funkoma/gymsuit2.jpg" height="400" width="228" /></a><br />
<br />
A wonderful trip thru <a href="http://www.geocities.com/FashionAvenue/1492/gymsuits.html">gymsuit land is here at Taffy's....</a><br />
<br />
Take a look here at the <a href="http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.lmhs61.org/images/we%2520were/Gym%2520Suits.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.lmhs61.org/we-were.htm&usg=__LUCvPCcXNIZmGNs6imtTJ3vLp70=&h=1660&w=1343&sz=336&hl=en&start=14&um=1&tbnid=vF4uQJrLe7dyYM:&tbnh=150&tbnw=121&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dgymsuit%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26sa%3DG%26um%3D1">Levittown High School </a>reunion page for some gym suits, and lots of other fun 60s photos.<br />
<br />
Here's a mid 30s label from a guy's gym suit...same as mine.<br />
<img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/funkoma/gym_suit2.jpg" /><br />
<br />
Another clue to the actual age of my vintage gymsuit (possibly a Teens swimsuit!) is the buttons on the shoulders. That is the only way in, or out. There's no zipper, no side snaps or buttons. That's another reason it's not 40s or 50s or later. The slimmer bloomer (say that fast 10 times) means they have escaped the madness of Big Bloomer Heaven that was the 20s, and moved on. <br />
And, well, the color is either Jadeite, or Institutional Green, depending on your mood at the moment you view them.<br />
Based on the label, the styling and the color, the history of bloomers and middies and the history of exercise and women's lib, I feel confident these are late 20s thru the 30s. <br />

Not a Xmas gift list, but a list of garden seeds and plants for the garden of 2016. The garden always starts anew every year, and the failures and the successes give us hope and give a sad face. So much hope! So much reward! and some failures. Just like life.<br />

The container garden worked out pretty well. Just pretty well. I won't repeat it because: the no5 plastic boxes were very heavy, and cracked at the end of the summer since they aren't meant to last a long time (and not meant to last outside either).<br />

I was surprised by a seedling that turned out to be a cherry tomato....probably a Sweet 100, since I do grow it every year, except 2015, but one came up on its own anyway. It's tough and I highly recommend it to novice and old-time gardeners alike.<br />

The plants in the boxes didn't grow very well (probably not high quality dirt), except the peppers and the marigolds.<br />
<br />
The garden of 2016 will have more cherry tomatoes, more striped tomatoes, and my favorite peppers... <span class="st"><em>Corno di Toro</em>. Those amazing little Japanese eggplants and more pickling cucumbers because of their smaller size, and they are multi-purpose. Pickle them or eat them fresh! Another Meyer Lemon because Lemon! And I'm buying a miniature fruit tree or 2 to grow in a big wine barrel or 2. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="st">More marigolds, more morning glories and nasturtium, more zinnias, more sunflowers. More alyssum, more daisies. </span> <br />

On the other hand, the morning glories were glorious! And self-seeding.<br />
pics from 2015 --- Oh, we didn't have any Japanese beetles but we had a late season tomato hornworm. UGLEEE. and a darling praying mantis lived in the wild geranium weed for a week or so.<br />
The mantis is hard to seeeee, but he is there, right in the middle of this picture. <br />

But the tomato hornworm is pretty easy to see. It did take us about a week to find him in the cherry tomato.</div>

We've been living in it for about a year and half and we feel fine. Tiny house living isn't for everyone, but if you are ready to ditch a lot of possessions and spend a lot less time cleaning house, a tiny house might be for you.<br />

Most people who get a trailer or an RV decide to paint it inside and spruce it up with all new fabrics, and the results are just fantastic!<br />
I like leaving my Winnie pretty much like how it was built in 1973. But.... that dinette just had. To. Go.<br />
Finally did it. We unscrewed it and stored the 2 benches and the table in case the new owner (someday in the future) wants it back.<br />
We put in 2 of our vintage bamboo chairs and I love all the extra room. Also, since we don't really use the oven except for storage, we turned it into a laptop holder to watch movies and stuff. Next indoor project --- all new flooring to replace the mish mosh of vinyl tiles and bits of original awesome green carpet.<br />
Here are the AFTER pics... <br />

Next up... different curtains and a slightly different arrangement of all the stuff that must be stored away.<br />
I'm years late describing what we did in the last year! Changed out the black water tank open/close handle (fun, not fun), replaced the heating coil in the refrigerator.<br />

Along the west coast of the USA where funkomavintage lives, El Nino will drop us some rain and wind, which is pretty nice after 4 years of a bad drought, but will it rain where we need it? Hope so. Up in the PNW, it will be warmer and somewhat drier, as will most of the east coast of the USA. Along the center, perhaps there will be more tornados and more snow and more cold, and along the southwest of the USA, wet wet wet...<br />
<br />
Doesn't matter where you live, winter does always return. Some of you don't have much of a winter any year, but winter is coming.<br />
<br />
In early 1955, photographer Dennis Stock followed James Dean around New York City, and also when Dean returned to his family farm, to his little town of Fairmount, Indiana, he chose to wear a long wool coat, a WWII US Navy military trench coat. And you know, if it's military, it can face, oh, I don't know. Oh a War! Here is the coat he wore. I mean, A US Navy coat JUST like the coat James Dean wore.<br />

<br />
Quality and style, this is a vintage 40s WWII Navy trench coat. It is
like the one James Dean wore in his famous series of photos by <a href="http://www.magnumphotos.com/Catalogue/Dennis-Stock/1955/USA-James-DEAN-US-actor-1955-NN146418.html" target="_blank">Dennis Stock</a>, walking in the rain in New York City, and visiting his
hometown and family in the Midwest.<br />
It's an authentic WWII Navy
overcoat with adjustable cuffs, and all the details that only vintage
military has. Top quality, made to wear like iron, and it is always in
style.<br />
Double breasted buttons, cuff buttons and it's lined in dark navy satin. It has its original belt too. <br />

Each of the above outfits are fantabulous all on their own. but the Beret adds that little bit of sophisticated polish. And your head stays reasonably warm too.<br />
<br />
................................ <br />
Here is a picture of Princess Diana. Look. She is wearing a beret. And the beret she is wearing is most likely a Kangol. They have been made in Merry olde England since the 20s. Kangol berets are all wool, made in Cleator, Cumberland, England. It is known as the Anglobasque beret.<br />
However since the late 2000's Kangol isn't made in merry olde England but in some other place. I blame the upper crust and their unabated desire for profits profits profits at the expense of quality and tradition.<br />

We have a red beret, a navy blue beret, a gray beret, a black beret OOO la la! The Kangol beret in camel. We have a dark brown beret, and one knitted in the Irish Fisherman pattern in creamy wool, and we have a darling vintage 60s one in deep blue suede leather. I know, right?!<br />

Oh sure, the classics need a little tweak from time to time. Perhaps the hem is shorter, or longer, Perhaps the lapel is wider or slimmer. And sometimes, the eye and the brain just need a little expansion.<br />

Classical music was moribund. It was boring. It was pastoral. It was classy! But Russian Igor Stravinsky changed all that on the 29th of May 1913. When he presented the The Rite of Spring at the Theatre des Champs-Elysees, it caused a riot!<br />
Yes, corsetted women in fur and velvet, and mustachioed men in silk and lace and fine woolens stormed the Ballet Russe stage in Paris France. While Stravinsky's score has some familiar elements of melody and chords, and seemed like Russian folk music, it marched and flew and stormed off into avant -garde heights of near-madness and sheer acoustic delight.<br />

The chords were wild, the music was not soothing. It was chaos. It was brilliant.<br />
Eventually, it was accepted, and in 1940 Walt Disney chose it to score a segment of a brilliant Disney film, one of funkomavintage's favorites.<br />

We are discontented, malcontented, disabled and differently abled. We're sad, but we are happy. We have our own little world in the trailer park.<br />

On food stamp payday, we barbeque, on minimum wage payday we shop at the CP Thrift Store.<br />
And, on each Saturday morning, neighbors come for the Free Food that some local do-gooder Christians hand out. It's all starchy GMO crap with an occasional organic reject from Whole Foods.<br />

Because we live in well-planned manufactured tin cans, we actually
have good housing. Quality homes that have features that far surpass our
incomes. Our roofs don't leak because we make good use of Kool Seal
white roof coat, and lots of UV- resistant tarps. We make good use of
no-cost, low-cost repairs and it is good-enough repairs. Our homes are

Many
of us live in RVs on rubber wheels so when the earthquake hit at
3:20 a.m we shook, rattled and didn't roll over and didn't fall down.<br />
After the screaming and the cussing we all piled out of our houses like angry ants when the field is on fire. We yelled for each other to make sure we were still among the living and the younger ones jumped up to go bang on doors and make dang sure we were all doing OK.<br />

We have a generator because an RV is a mobile home, literally. We have
all the modern conveniences of any American home. An RV is just like a
McMansion, only much much smaller. We have refrigerators, and water
heaters on demand.<br />
We also have propane tanks to run the heaters and
the cooking stoves and batteries to run the electricity inside, if we don't want to plug
into the Grid. As long as the water lines hold, we have clean sparkling
water.<br />

We know we all depend on tax money from a generous and caring society. We know the disability check and the Social Security check will come. We know the bus lines will come and the streetlights will shine.<br />
<br />
Outside in the dark August night we took care of each other -- charged cell phones, made big pots of coffee and shared bottled water. We also broke out the beer and the whiskey because a party at 4:00 a.m. is a Universal thing! We pulled chairs around in groups and in each row of our trailer park we all laughed and gossipped and knew that come daylight, we would have a hell of a clean-up.<br />

As predicted, the sun did rise and as we recovered our sea legs we each ambled home. Each of us so glad our tin cans held together (mostly), and only listed off (somewhat).<br />
The same life we had the day before the earthquake went on as before because for us, each day is a non-cliche new beginning.<br />
<br />
On the edges of America, on the borders of the cultures, we have to scan the shadows and look for the daily bread, the place to rest and we do not take for granted that life will be easy. But we do demand that your neighbor is your friend on the spinning earth.<br />

And... there is a railroad theme restaurant that sadly, has closed but, happily it now houses lots of antiques, vintage, old stuff and newer gifty type stuff. Cordelia Junction Antique Mall.<br />

It's at the corner of I-80 and Suisun Valley Road, kind of. Just south of Fairfield. California. You'll see the big big signs on the side of the old train depot from the freeway. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/cordeliajunction.antiquemall" target="_blank">Here's a link to their Facebook page with updates about new stuff just in/ and just sold. </a><br />
Since it has about 70 dealers, stuff changes fast or not. One whole side of the building is furniture such as couches and sofas, dining and bedroom sets and bookcases and stuff like that. It's housed in the old restaurant and that is fun and sad at the same time. I really really wish it was still open. Cocktail bar with Fresh Oysters served to you by a waitress named Susan or Helen. <br />

Early August 2015, we moved this pair of little charmers in!<br />
Vintage chests straight from Grandma's back porch. Each is priced under 100.00.<br />
One is crackled vintage jadeite green and faded pink with a drawer and 2 doors, just perfect for storing canned goods, winter boots, or hiding dirty laundry and hippie soap and bleach bottles.<br />
<br />
Each of them are about 30" high, and 3 ft long by 16" deep.<br />
<br />
The top, with a vintage hand painted floral on a black metal magazine rack, and a tiny globe bank by Ohio Art. <br />

<br />
The other chest is painted gray and has a drawer, and 2 doors, like the other one, but this one has a fresher paint treatment.<br />
They can sit in an entry and hold those winter gloves and boots, and hats and baskets for the mail, and all the important stuff you need as you come in or leave the house.<br />

It was an immediate hit with Hollywood types looking for a break from depressing news. Don the Beachcomber helped start a trend of over-the-top theme restaurants with a Polynesian Islander feel and a menu to match. Lots of pork, and ginger, fish of all kinds, and calamari too. The menu is a blend of Asian, Polynesian, Hawaiian, and other tropical locations cuisine.<br />

Vintage Hawaiian shirts often have metal "Chinese coin" buttons. The colors are bright, and often have hibiscus flowers, tiki and other Polynesian motifs. Palm trees, islands, surf and sea, with boats and sunshine and those big big flowers, are often the things you'll find on a Hawaiian shirt.<br />
They are cut to fit looser than a regular short sleeve shirt. Loose and airy, just right for having a good time at the party or the bar, and staying cool in the heat.<br />

In a good way. The good ol' American red or blue bandana is now an icon of the working class US. Or what's left of it. When we see that familiar red or blue print with white, on a nice big cotton square we immediately think of....a working man and a working woman. We think of symbols for gangs, we think of cowboys and cowgirls, and we think of pirates that rob I.<br />

<br />
this Disney pirate needs no introduction, right Capt. Sparrow! Notice that red silk sash.... a bandana from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Bengal" target="_blank">ancient and old India, the seaport of Bengal</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
Since the red or blue handkerchief is so ubiquitous, at least one is probably owned by every American now living, and in the past, every American probably owned quite a few.<br />
First made in India many hundreds of years ago, as a piece of fabric with tie dye designs, it was called "Bandhani" meaning a style of Indian tie dyed fabric. The tiny little white designs were made by making teeeny tiny little pinches of fabric, dipping it in indigo blue dye or other colors, and then the released ties made a pattern of small white undyed "stars".<br />
Back then, a tribal or cultural affiliation would be known by the color and design of the bandhani, and the scarf or band, the bandana. From about 1700, bandanas spread from the local textiles of India, away from the port of Bengal via sailors or pirates to farmers, workers, Rosie the Riveter, the working class, bikers, and fashionable people.<br />

They are in tons of colors now, not just red and blue. They most often still have white designs, but black is pretty common as an accent color too.<br />
The names of makers you most likely will see are Elephant trunk up and trunk down, Tiger, Tuside, Hav A Hank, and many unknown makers but most likely Paris Accessories that began in America in the early 20th century.<br />
You will see more than flowers and paisley, dots and dashes since they can be printed with any message or face or name such as for politicians, business logos, and of course, Willie Nelson and a few rock stars, too. <br />
Since very little information is required by law to be printed on the bandana, it will only contain a country of origin, or fiber content, washability and maybe an RN number.<br />

<br />Bandanas, because of their history, their textile beauty can be framed like a painting and hung on the wall for a big blast of color and texture. This arrangement is from www.apartmenttherapy.com<br />

<br />
We are letting the weeds grow, and they are providing a lot of blooms now and look very adorable in a cottage garden kind of way. I practice an organic and biodynamic style of gardening. Weeds for the bees, butterflies and worms and caterpillars and lots of ladybugs, and lady bug larvae.<br />
I am quite sure the manager of the trailer park is not happy with my weeds! But they are very important to the success of my garden and my produce I hope to have........ the tomatoes, the zukes, the cukes and all the lovely flowers too.<br />
<br />
Here we have lettuce and tomato seedlings and they have grown so much......as you shall see in the pics nearer the bottom. <br />
I planted seeds of 2 kinds of cukes to climb on the patio, and a zuke to grow all over the place. Okra, beans, bell peppers, and Jalepeno, and basil, mint and sage. Lots of flowers too for the beeeeeez and butterflies.<br />
Indigo Rose is a great black little tomato that's new to me, Cherokee Chocolate, a relative of my all time fave Cherokee, Garden Peach (new heirloom to me), Black Prince ( love a dark tomato), Silvery fir tree with fine lace leaves and a red tomato, a big orange and yellow beeksteak weirdo named Hazel Mae, which is also new to me this year. This is gonna bee fun. ha ha ...<br />

I re-use old plastic tags, mark them with a Sharpie, or use popsicle sticks or little random pieces of wood to mark the seeds and tiny plants (and big plants if memory might fade)<br />
<br />
Cukes, Zukes, okra and peppers. Lots of tomatoes!!<br />
The beans are running along and have had a lot of snails to attack and eat them so Sluggo to the rescue! I do love and need some bugs and spiders and worms and such, but I need far less snails and slugs. Go Away!<br />

OK, I planted the heirloom tomatoes, the peppers, and a basil and lots of flowers in the bins with yummy organic soil. Then I did a covering of the dirt using the plastic from the big bags of organic soil, to A. Keep the soil warm and moist. and B. Keep the cats from taking a crap in my pots of dirt and tiny little garden plants.<br />
I love the cats. I do not want them in the dirt, pooping.<br />
<br />
The tomatoes and other tiny little things were transplanted at the end of May '15, and in a week they have doubled in size! <br />
The marigolds, the sage, the lobelia....... are all blooming and attracting lots of bees all day.<br />
We get California carpenter bees.... big buzzy and black velvet.<br />
We get Apis <span class="st">mellifera</span>, the good ol' Honey bee that Monsanto and Bayer are hellbent on KILLING OFF. And lots of teeny teeny bees, and lots of ladybugs too.<br />

Here is the big view. I took some bamboo poles, that I grew in Tacoma and lugged them down here with me, and I stuck them in the bins of dirt and tied them together for a frame to hold the tomatoes. Will this be strong enough? I don't know. But I can add more sticks and stuff later as the season goes on if the plants threaten to grow as high as an elephant's eye.<br />
<br />
I have 4 more big pots that I'll fill with more organic soil and put in the cukes and zukes and other stuff I wanna grow. I use Kelloggs Organic soil , or Black Gold, (Organic Materials Review Institute) <a href="https://www.omri.org/" target="_blank">OMRI </a>ok'd, and supplement it with organic compost.<br />

<br />
so, yes, since we are very bee and butterfly friendly and we never never use poisons, and only grow in organic soil, we are lettting the weeds grow. Weeds are lovely plants with bad press.<br />
Many plants have self-seeded from last year.... tomatoes, alyssum, lobelia, chamomile, dusty miller.... We have lots of sow thistles, and tiny other things, and I'll add my little film in a few days and make a list of the names of the weeds I've been able to identify. That there is a subject I want to know more about.<br />

This year, honestly, only because these 40s barkcloth drapes were the easiest to pull out of my great big box of old fabrics, did they make the cut for this year's fashion in decorating the trailer park patio.<br />

More color, more pattern but it is the same furniture. I moved the dresser to the side, and hung a big piece of black shade cloth as the "front door". Soon, once it heats up towards 80+ everyday, we'll need to toss the big BIG shade cloth over the roof, aka Big white tarp.<br />
<br />
Last year I used a
lot more neutrals... canvas, raw silk, faded vintage fabrics.<br />
Here is before...<br />

When you live in a tiny house, an rv, a trailer or a camper or van, the outside spaces become much more important. That's the best part of living tiny, is you spend more time outside.<br />
so, the 99.00 patio was destroyed in the hot sun, so we bought a 50.00 white tarp and tossed it over the frame, tied it down with bungie cords, and beefed up the legs with the bamboo poles we had on hand. The floor is pallets, and the big wood box is made from pallets and scrap wood and holds tools. It locks, and it is really nice to have them all together, and out from under the Winnie in blue bins.<br />
All the furniture is the same, with just different fabric tossed over the cushions. There's still more tiny lights.... from yard sales.... to hang up around the edges to light it in the night. <br />

The fireplace on the patio is from yard sales.... sitting on some marble squares.<br />
<br />
<br />
I love hearing the birds twitter, the buzz of the bees that visit my flowers and the sound of the breezes.<br />
I am not a fan of traffic, stupid kids with sub-woofers or loud misogynistic rap noise.<br />
But, outside, is where I spend a lot of time. And in California, shade is so very important. It's cooler under there.<br />
<br />
<br />
The garden is all in pots, and this year I'm trying out #5 bins from the hardware/thrift store to grow the tomatoes in.<br />
<br />
I move the potted plants around but I think this is the best garden for the day...<br />

I made a trellis around the front of the shed to hold morning glories and a lot of cucumbers.<br />
<br />
Those big #5 Sterlite bins will hold the tomatoes and herbs. The black pots will hold the peppers, the okra, tomatillo, and eggplant.<br />

I guess it's a real movement, this tiny house thing. Of course, poor people have always. lived. in. a. tiny. house. It was all the rich left us! And shall we discuss the Roma people who travel (gypsy), and the Travelers, and of course nomads? These, are people, with a traveling way of life. Perhaps they follow their goat or sheep or cow herds from summer pasture to winter pasture. Maybe they travel from a warm climate to a cooler one in the summertime. This life requires a small portable home -- a tent, a wagon, a yurt.<br />

In modern times, people would travel, camp, visit, and live in different places going by train, by bus, by plane, and by motorcar, then campers and travel trailers, and motorhomes, and RV's.
There is a bit of a hierarchy going on -- the new converts to living in a small space seem to think they are at the top of the new housing food chain since they build what they want and add solar and other technologies pioneered by trailer and RV manufacturers, or they miniaturize and adapt self-contained or "off the grid" solutions that have been used since Time began, and re-popularized in the last few decades.<br />

It goes something like this, from all the years of reading, building and research I've done:<br />
1. Tiny house people<br />
2. Small home/apartment people<br />
3. Vacation home/2nd house people<br />
4. RVs, trailers and bigger is better<br />
5. Car campers, mini-trailers, and vans, and smaller is better<br />
6. Mobile home parks, aka, Trailer parks.<br />
7. Homeless.<br />
We all know the disdain most people have for Trailer Parks, and "trailer trash", but it wasn't always like that. After WWII mobile homes and trailers were a fantastic way for returning GI's and their families to get a home of their own very quickly, and before new housing was built to meet the demand for post-war living. Once the GI's left for "sticks and bricks" homes, they sold cheap, and poorer people moved in and as always, the poor and working class are looked down on. (Doesn't have to be that way, but it still is)<br />

In the early 20th century, luxurious motor homes and fancy campers were bought by "rich" people to travel in and have a taste of the rough life they desperately wanted no more of. Funny isn't it, that people of all incomes really do love to live like a homeless wanderer at least for a while with varying levels of modern conveniences.

When I was in elementary school, Miss Carmella Fontana, the 1st grade teacher, also taught Chorus, so twice a year all of us Yountville kids were drafted into this show activity. We learned songs our parents would like to hear. One song always made me think about the social implications in the lyrics: <b>The Happy Wanderer</b>. A very happy fellow sings gloriously about the fun he has while "tramping" around the country. Tra la la!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Of course, migrant workers, various ethnic groups all over the world and poor working class people lived itinerant lives, not always out of choice. And of course, as always happens, wealthier people, like to romanticize about the classes of people with less money, I suppose to assuage their guilt about paying them such little wages, while feeling sorry for the poor, or hating the poor, yet refusing to take the responsibility for setting up the economic system that keeps people poor in a society that is phenomenally wealthy.<br />
Yes, the more things change --
So it is with this historical knowledge, placing "tiny homes" in context of human history, both ancient and modern, that I find this "new" movement just amusing.<br />
<b>Is everyone who likes the Tiny House, the back to the land, the Homestead, the preppers, the urban farmers, the small is beautiful movements, a jerk, or a rich moron that steals from the poor? NO. of course not. But we do have to take a peek at history and understand the politics and prejudices in how and where we live.</b><br />

<br />
It is not a coincidence that at the very time we are back in another <b>rich man vs poor man economy</b>, worldwide, actually, but very obvious in the USA, the romantic version of how poor people live should find amusement with the very wealthy.<br />
During the Depression in the 1930s, wealthy people would dress like tramps and party party party! Recently, hipsters have taken to romanticize hobos (the historical homeless), with hobo-theme weddings and parties!<br />
And of course, Marie Antoinette, pretending to be a simple farm girl, while doing nothing with her power, to actually improve the lives of actual simple farm girls. It is well-studied that, <a href="http://www.sagepub.com/mcdonaldizationstudy5/articles/Consumption_Articles%20PDFs/Halnon.pdf" target="_blank"><u> "Poverty Chic refers to an array of fads and fashions in popular culture that make recreational or stylish – and often expensive – ‘fun’ of poverty, or traditional symbols of working class and underclass statuses. Earlier historical examples of Poor Chic are 1920s Harlem ‘white slumming parties’, Parisian costume balls where the rich adorned themselves in expensive rags, and Marie Antoinette’s 15-cottage ornamented Hameau farm.(</u></a>Karen Bettez Halnon,Poor Chic: The Rational Consumption of Poverty).<br />

<br />
<a href="http://footprintnetwork.org/en/index.php/GFN/page/calculators/" target="_blank">There is another component to living in a smaller home, with less stuff. It has lately come to be called <b>"Ecological Footprint"</b></a>, another modern variation of a back to the land movement that started again in the 1920s and 30s by people such as Scott and Helen Nearing, proponents of self-sufficiency. The Footprint awareness campaign grew out of all the activity of the 60s and 70s about "saving the Earth", and now we have global warming and climate change, and the rise of uber-manufacturing of massive amounts of stuff we don't need and we don't want. There is a yearning for simpler times, like <b>Little House on the Prairie</b>, but with solar and 24/7 internet and Netflix.<br />
The Nearings wrote <b>The Good Life</b>, and were "advocates for simple
and sustainable living skills, social and economic justice, organic
gardening and vegetarianism." Nearing, with his PhD in Economics supported the "new economics" stating in 1913,
"that the economists part company with the ominous pictures of an
overpopulated, starving world, prostrate before the throne of
'competition,' 'individual initiative,' 'private property,' or some
other pseudo-god, and tell men in simple, straightforward language how

Part of the social change going on right now is a reaction to the Worldwide Economic Crash caused by the world's largest banks, Wall Street, insurance companies, large corporations and large
financial concerns and arrogant behavior by the wealthy. Combined, the precarious and reckless nature of the powerful to care about nothing but money for themselves and
give no thought to social destruction and chaos, have made many millions of people take their newly-found political awareness to become more self-sufficient, as a self-protection scheme. Many are now asking themselves, <b>Could we live in a tiny house?</b><br />

After a long century of buying products, consuming factory made goods, and being "modern middle-class people", here is combined all the culmination of the lessons learned in the last century: Buying less, recycling, re-using, growing your own food, preserving and canning it for the future, and deciding to eat food grown locally for better flavor and safety concerns. It's the Homestead movement, back again, that appeals to people on the Left, and the Right.<br />

This also includes the rejection of GMO corporate "food", and the want for organic food which is more nutritious because We are what we Eat.
From our food, to our shelter, 2 very basic human needs, springs the smartness of living in a smaller home with less stuff.
<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>Less Stuff. More Time.</b>
Less Stuff thinking really makes you question everything you buy. Do you need 3000 square feet with 4 televisions and rooms you never live in except on 2 holidays a year? Do you really want to work 40 to 60 hours a week, with commute time, to pay for a huge mortgage on a huge house, and pay huge property tax bills, and 3 cars, and all the repair bills, and all that lawn to mow and all the stuff you own gets crammed in a garage??!?<br />

Rainwater collection, sharing libraries for household tools and even rent a car for 3 hours... all these things are not-so-new ways of living, but they are becoming very popular in the hive mind of people today. <br />
Back to the way poor people live -- they almost always have had a garden, they make their own clothes, and do their own home and car repairs, DIY, rather than pay someone else, and also trading work for items is a basic part of thrifty living practiced since humans made neighborhoods, then towns, then cities. With the rise of the merchant class, the middle class, and the social payment programs, people have had more financial freedom, but also more dependence on banks, Wall Street and corporations, to manage the world's money supply and the precarious way that they do and don't do, their work, seldom cautiously and carefully diligent towards us. US.<br />

Maud Davis Baker was a pioneer in the world of photography. She was one of the rare American women who had her own photography studio in the 1890s in Helena Montana. At a time when women were not allowed much freedom, Mrs. Baker had a studio of her own and made a living from her art. Later in life, in the 1920's, she moved to Hollywood and was a member of the growing art crowd in LA, the Hollywood Art Association and the Hollywood Woman's Club with her daughter Viroque Baker.<br />
I've just listed is this charming collection of portraits mounted on sepia paper and signed by Baker. It has 13 lovely women, likely high school or college graduates, most with the fad hairdo of the day, the Gibson Girl, invented by popular illustrator Charles Dana Gibson. About 1890 he wanted to draw a version of a young American woman of the times, that wasn't a free-thinker or suffragette. The Gibson Girl is the opposite of the late 1800's "New Woman" who wanted liberty, freedom, a career, and the right to manage her own life as a human and not as a wife or second class citizen. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibson_Girl">Gibson's girl, however, is smart, rich and enjoys her freedom. You can read more at wikipedia. </a><br />

Call it a gallery wall, or a collection, choosing to decorate your wall
with a group of objects, some pictures, some frames, some paintings, and
whatever strikes your fancy can really add that free-spirited bohemian
aura. If the objects all share 1 or 2 similarities, it will come
together as an artistic whole.<br />

Perhaps the similarity is color or shape, maybe it is subject matter such as a grouping of dog paintings and pictures, or maybe beach theme art and crafts. When choosing a collection to hang together add differences as well as sameness. Strive for different colors in the same family, and don't forget texture. If it is too bland, hang a few baskets, or rough weavings, or hang some antlers. Although hipsters have overdone it recently, it will come back to popularity because it is an element of casual decor that is always in style. It adds a cabin, cozy, arty look to almost any arrangement.<br />
<br />
I've just listed an antique hand carved walnut frame. It combines patina, authenticity and gravitas to any grouping of objects. This one is at least 100 years old, and likely even older. It has no markings. It can hold a photo or painting that's 8" x 10", but I've always loved it alone, loving the grain, the patina and the texture.<br />

The invention of eyeglasses occurred about 700 years ago in Italy. The medieval glass guilds produced magnifying glass and some smartypants in 1284, two monks living in a monastery, actually, are credited by historians with making and promoting the invention of eyeglasses with 2 magnifying lenses, secured in a primitive frame to sit on your face, supported by your nose which just sits there protruding out and not doing much else.<br />
<br />
By 1300, the Italian glass guild adopted a regulation for these magnifying lenses naming them "vetri da occhi". Half-blind people went wild for the magnifying eyeglasses.<br />
Can you imagine? I can, since I've been wearing glasses for long-distance accurate viewing, and reading glasses for short-view reading for almost 20 years.<br />

The historical record gives Benjamin Franklin, in 1760 or so, while in London, the credit for inventing bifocals or split lenses. In a frame, 2 pieces were installed with the bottom one having a magnifying lens and a piece of clear glass in the top.<br />

When buying vintage eyeglass frames be sure to choose ones with barrel hinges if you want to change the lenses to your prescription, whether sunglasses or magnifying lenses. Only these heavy-duty hinges will support the frames and the lenses and help keep the glasses in the right shape for your face. Your optician with set the frames to your face so your eye will see through the lens at just the right place to give you the excellent vision you want.<br />

Eyeglass shapes change with fashion and with technology. There are the modern classic shapes like these 2 vintage frames and of course, round, oval, rectangles, cateyes, and large oversize frames, Big Eye, became very popular in the 60s and 70s, and continued on through most of the 80s, when frames started getting smaller again. By the 90s, frames were turned into long rectangles just to make a new fashion.<br />
The shape that has always remained popular, year in and year out, are the classic curved square in simple black frames or in clear colors, or wild colors and patterns.<br />
<br />
Here's a pretty good example.<br />
This vintage pair has a nifty twist. These are magnifying flip-ups. The whole lens assembly flips up away from your eyes, and flips down only when you need to the see tiny work, such as in brain surgery, needlepoint, and reading tiny numbers on your prescription bottles, and the warranty information on your iPhone.<br />

The best frames have been made in Italy, France, Germany, and until about 30 years ago, the USA. Once the US moved its once-high-quality manufacturing to cheap ass China and other untalented and careless assembly lines, there are no quality glasses or frames made in the US anymore by large firms. A few micro-businesses have just started but they use imported frames and glass and just do assembly here in the US.<br />

Ray-Ban invented pilot glasses and aviator frames for the US military, and they're now classic styles. Ray-Ban has had a long run of inventing frame shapes that everyone loves. The Wayfarer, the Clubman, the Shooters, and now they are knocked off by the billions.<br />
Ray-Ban was bought by Italian firm Luxottica, and though you would assume this Italian brand would make a very fine pair of glasses, every pair of new frames I've bought in the last few years have been cheap and flimsy. That's very sad, but that is the reason why I choose a sturdy vintage frame for all my eyeglass and sunglasses needs. It's why funkomavintage sells great vintage glasses. <br />

<br />
The most common material for modern frames is a kind of plastic because the technology improved so much since 1900, that it soon shoved metal, real tortoise shell, rigid leather and carved horn (hornrim), and wood, out of the way. Glasses are still made of high-quality gold-filled and silver coated metals, aluminum and others, but plastics are far and away, the most popular. Early plastics were
gutta-percha, celluloid, and then nylon blends, acetate blends, and now widely used, strong and versatile, cellulose-acetate, we call <a href="http://www.mernick.org.uk/zylonite/" target="_blank">zyl or zylonite</a>. <a href="http://www.allaboutvision.com/eyeglasses/eyeglass_frame_materials.htm" target="_blank">There are a lot of choices in modern frames.</a><br />
<br />
Lenses are also made of modern space-age plastics, and not just glass anymore. Who can recall, a friend, with "Coke-bottle glasses" ??<br />

The American industry of fine eyewear developed after the Revolutionary War in the late 1790's because of British import embargoes. Hundreds of American eyeglass makers sprung up, and the US became a leader in quality glasses.<br />

<b>How to Measure:</b><br />
<b>Width</b>, between hinges: 5 inches, or thereabouts for an adult face. Then the <b>lens width and height</b>. <b>Width from tip to tip</b>, and also the <b>width of the nose bridge</b>. An optician can adjust almost any pair of frames to fit you very well, if the frame is almost perfect on you. They can't take a large frame and make it small, or vice versa, but small adjustments are common.<br />
<br />
You will often see a measurement like 22/46 or something, on vintage frames and that is an optician code for sizing. If your glasses have a code, and you like the fit, you can shop that way. <br />
The code is in millimeters, with the meaning of the first number being the width of the nose bridge. The second number is the width of the glass/plastic lens without the frame, at the smallest width. <br />
Usually, you'll need 3 or 4 measurements.<br />
You can measure your fave pair sunglasses to start figuring out your size. Just remember, sunglasses are a bit bigger than corrective frames/lens combos.<br />
<br />
The temples are the side pieces of the glasses frame that fit over your ears. Start that measurement from the hinge straight to the bottom end of the temple. That's usually around 5 inches, but can be less or more. Once again, fashion changes a few things. There are no standards!<br />
<br />
If your optician won't use your vintage frames, try a different business before you give up. Over the last 20 years as vintage frames have become more popular, many opticians will do it, as they have learned to be careful of vintage materials. Sometimes though, your chosen vintage frames just won't work for new lenses. Well, then, you have a fun pair of glasses. Try again to find a different optician. This reuse trend isn't going to go away, and more opticians will learn the tricks of the new and renew, eyeglasses trade.<br />

Burgundy, navy blue, and lots of round windows. It was sleek, it was futuristic.<br />
Moody colors, secondary color wheel combos like this tile facade update done in the 30s, here at Fagiani's Bar in Napa. The owners fought with the City of Napa to retain this historical scheme, even though it was a much newer addition to this 1890's building. I'm glad they won, and kept it. It's a relic from my childhood, so I like it. My parents were very good friends with the Fagiani family, and of course, my mom owned a bar, so there was a lot in common here ; - ) <br />

Cowboy clothes captured the imagination of folks in the 30s. Images of the beauty of the western United States with deserts, wide open spaces and natural landscapes, and of course, cowboys and Indians, whether true or not, were sold and folks loved it.<br />
Any city slicker can dress like a Westerner and get happy!<br />

It has many elements of 30s style such as a cape collar, a peplum at the waist and a bias cut full dramatic skirt. When you see a wide fluttering collar or a peplum on a modern dress, blouse or suit, it is recalling the 30s drama in fashion.<br />

Last June I was out garage sailing, and I noticed that a daisy flowered plant was cascading down a hillside with pretty purple flowers and a few ripe seedpods, so.... I think.... hey, seeds! So I took a seedpod, dry and ready to plant, and thought... mmmmm, I wonder if these will germinate? And I wonder what they are. Well, friends, I did plant those seeds, and by August they were a few inches high. Pretty little green leaves and I wondered, what is it? So late in September I got a few blossoms. Oh My! They were big lilac and purple daisies, as you can see in the pic here.<br />
Turns out these are Osteospermum fruticosum, or commonly, Trailing African Daisy. You can look that up. So, my advice, as a gardener from a long long line of gardeners, plant those seeds and see what comes up.<br />

I am now gardening in big containers and little ones too. But I don't like using gross recycled pots and buckets to grow food in so a good cheap alternative is to find food safe plastic labeled #5. <br />
A neat way to get a big big pot to grow big big plants is buy a Sterlite plastic bin with the recycle number 5. It is about 5 bucks, or less, and I found them at Target and at Home Depot, and um, the thrift store. This type of polypropylene plastic is Food Grade and deemed safe, so I use them to grow organic plants for eating, fruits and vegetable. You can also find Food Grade 5 gallon buckets, with a number 5 too.<br />
While I'm all for recycling any container to grow ornamentals, I would not plant something I was gonna eat in an old computer case, an old oil can or a something odd and nasty, but cute! <a href="http://www.care2.com/greenliving/which-plastics-are-safe.html" target="_blank">Click here for more info on plastics that are food safe and can be recycled.</a><br />

<a href="http://www.tomatofest.com/" target="_blank">When I grew heirlooms for sale, I always had Mortgage Lifter, Mr. Stripey and Brandywine and of course, Cherokee Purple and a few others. But now I'm trying some (new to me) varieties. Here are the Organic Heirloom tomatoes I'm growing this year. </a> These are from Tomatofest Seeds, organic seeds from a Northern California company.<br />

<b>Hazel Mae</b>, because it is a large fluted yellow and red tomato, I mean, right! And that name.<br />
One that I'm trying this year I've always wanted to try, is <b>Silvery fir tree</b>. It will have lacy ferny leaves and lovely red tomatoes. Sounds lovely and I can't wait to see this beauty.<br />
<br />
<b>Black Prince</b> for the short season and the dark dark red/black color. This one has extra tomato-chemical, <span id="product_description" itemprop="description"> lycopene, and should be delicious like all the Russian tomatoes.</span><br />

<span id="product_description" itemprop="description">My all time favorite tomato is <b>Cherokee Purple</b>. Deep, red-purple, and with a smoky taste and just enough sweet/tart. I'm growing <b>Cherokee Chocolate</b> this year and it's a plant that is a baby of Cherokee Purple, so I expect it to be quite delicious.</span><br />
<br />
<span id="product_description" itemprop="description">2 other ones I'm trying for the first time this year are <b>Indigo Rose</b>, that is a favorite of the new crop of "celebrity chefs" and people who wish they were. There is a whole family of these dark almost black tomatoes that are about salad size up to small beefsteak size. </span><br />

Oscar grew the most fantastic gardens behind his cabin and he tended the flower beds around the Hotel. It was a pale yellow, almost white tomato, larger than salad size.

Are you a classic beanie lover? We have some for you also. And we don't stop there, At funkoamvintage we go way back. How about a WWII vintage USN Deck hat? <br />
A 50s motorcycle skullcap helmet?<br />

Are they weeds or are they the seeds I planted? It all looks the same... lots of little green things poking up outta the dirt.<br />
Always mark your pots or rows with any kind of marker.... from a popsicle stick to a recycled plastic plant marker, or a map you've drawn of the garden... anything to keep it straight, because even the best memory can fade after a few weeks.... <br />
An experienced eye can tell the difference, of course, but if you are new to gardening, or have not planted something for a long time, I'm putting together a series of garden posts that can be your visual guide, to see a few of the most popular and some strange plants, from the first cotyledon to the real leaves, and then the flowers.<br />
<br />
From my many decades of gardening, from running a nursery, years of working as a garden designer and from the mistakes I've made, we can see the ups and downs. oh boy.<br />
<br />

To go from seed packet, a pot of potting soil or well-prepared garden soil to this....<br />
is an exciting roller coaster.......Anticipation. Thrills. Ups and Downs. Happiness and Disapointment. Just like life. <br />
<br />
All these pictures are from my own gardens over the years. <br />
In late winter and early spring these are a few of the sprouts you might see.<br />
<br />
If you planted some garlic sections last fall, the little sprouts look a lot like grass. Burly burly grass. You can gently caress the sprouts and smell, and see if it smells like garlic. If it does, it's probably garlic. <br />

Spinach seedlings have their first leaves, the cotyledons, shaped like little spears, and the true leaves, like so many plants are different. The spinach leaves are rather heart-shaped, but longer.<br />

Carrot seedlings look first like long skinny leaves, and not at all like a carrot leaf. The lovely carrot leaf is very lacy and fern-like. They are worth growing just for the leaves! Carrots come in a crazy variety of forms and colors. There is a lot more in the carrot world than just long and orange.<br />

Pak Choi, or bok Choy, is that delicious Chinese Mustard in so many Chinese dishes. These are so easy to grow... so I encourage you to try it. The plants get quite large, so be sure to leave them room.<br />
The seedlings resemble so many others in the mustard/kale/beet/turnip/broccoli family..... the first cotyledons are tiny little hearts.<br />

Lettuce eat, let us! so easy to grow, even in half shade/sun. They do like water and a fairly rich soil. But so easy, you just gotta try it.<br />
<br />
The first leaves are little ovals, and if you plant colored lettuce, the first seedlings are colored too! Then the second leaves really do reveal themselves as the tiny versions of the variety they might be. Red curly, butter lettuce, romaine... and all the others.<br />

Later, after all the frosts have ended, it will be time to plant sunflowers!<br />
Easy. Easy. Easy. Perfect for kids to introduce them to gardening. The seeds are big, and are nearly foolproof. Just bait for slugs and snails.<br />
The seedling pops out with a cap of the seed still attached, but after 2 or 3 days it jumps out and up so fast and the big meaty oblong leaves spread out. After that, the real leaves are large hearts, and the plant will jump up and reward the laziest and the beginner garden, and the old hands, too!<br />

Once again, with broccoli, the first seedling leaves are tiny little hearts. Watch out for slugs and snails and bait accordingly. The secondary leaves are long and curvy, scalloped and ruffly, like oak leaves, and tend to be long and oval shaped.<br />

The most rewarding, is quite possibly, radishes! yes! you can go from seed to radish in about 4 - 5 weeks...and they too come in many colors and shapes. The seedlings start as little hearts, and then the leaves resemble oak leaves, like broccoli too. But radish leaves have little bumps and are kinda hairy-looking. A bit strange.<br />
