Sitzkombination

2 Zweiersofas und ein Sessel (ohne Bild), aus den 50ern, vor 30 Jahren neu bezogen. die Zweiersofas können über Eck stehen, dafür gibt es eine Eck-Kiste, können aber auch nebeneinander als 4er-Sofa stehen. Irgednwie ausziehbar, meine Oma hat dort öfter mal geschlafen, als wir klein waren und im Nebenzimemr übernachten durften.
Anm.: Ich werde wohl nicht die gesamte Kombination ins Auto kriegen!

60er Jahre Hänge-Regal, blau, rot, schwarz

Wandregal, ca. 20cm tief, Bretter rot und blau, an den Ecken leicht angeschrammelt. Schwarzes, umanteltes Drahtgestell, braucht nur 2 Bohrlöcher (ohne Fotos. Dies sind meine Mutter und meine Tante in jungen Jahren)

The Jeffery back on track

Dear Followers,
finally I am back on the fashion track and the Jeffery is soon to hit the road, Jack. Yes, Jack, the road.
I found a wonderful apartment in the heart of the district where I used to go out a lot anyway, with lots more space for all my treasuries. It is still alot in the making, the kitchen needs a makeover, nicer furniture and some paint, but my room is already quite cozy. For the first time in my life, I actually painted a wall because I wanted to (and not because my landlord made me). It is light grey now and came out nice and smooth and contrasts my mostly vintage furniture.
I really feel like settling down for a while, which gives me a certain glow of happiness from the depth of my tummy everytime I come home.
Home it is.
I will post some pics as soon as it is exactly the way I like it.
And, I will do the big move soon, that means I will rent a big van and get all my gransmothers old stuff over here.
A sneak peak into some 70s dresses is in the making, so check in soon.

see you soon,
jef

a long long break from fashion blogging

what a shame, work has piled up on my desk, I was away and a lot of things have happened, so the Jeffery went a bit into oblivion.
But soon it will rise from the ashes and take over the world of vintage fashion lovers! I am positive about it.

furry time

In these temperatures, one can understand how people took to wearing animals - it just so much warmer than all that snthetical stuff. Almost a year ago in cool Melburnian winter, I bought my beloed fur collar in an op shop. It used to be attachable to a jacket, but the jacket got lost and it was left all alone...so I took care of it, matched it with my black faux leather jacket or my winter coat and we all lived happily ever after.
Wearing fur is a moral dilemma. But wearing Vitage is for some a way out of it. My fur collar has been dead before, it has not been killed on purpose for a present day fashion. The animals died anyway, so wearing vintage fur

meet Retina

this gem was hiding in an ugly black bag:


Please meet Kodak Retina automatic III! This model has only been produced from 1960 to 1962 and cost more than 300 DM back in the days. Luckyly, the internet knows more:

The Kodak Retina AUTOMATIC I is a small handy precision camera also
cutter cross after Retina Reomar 1:2,8/45mm with an Prontormat s catch.
It possesses an automatic control of the screen, as well as the suttertimes,
which block the trip with insufficient lighting conditions
