    But wait there's more! A PO BOX finally wahoo!
    First, a disclaimer: So many of you have kindly offered to send me things, including vintage items you may have inherited, and I am so honored you would think of me and of course I do adore vintage treasures, however, unfortunately I only have so much storage space currently! So there is a chance that if something just wont work for me, or doesn't fit me etc, that I may not be able to keep all of your lovely things. Please only send things if you are okay with the possibility that I may donate items I just cannot keep. If you would prefer I put things that I can't keep into the TCH Etsy shop to help raise funds for me and the channel, please specify this in a note or letter in your parcel. Thank you so much!

    Have I already seen this video? yes. Will I watch it anyway because it looks amazing and it's just relaxing to watch while crocheting? also yes. I love you digging up those videos cause while I watched them all, it's fun to rewatch some of these beauties.

    I gotta admit, my solution to a leaking steam iron has always been a spray bottle of water. I'm still using my mom's old iron that hasn't done steam the entire time I've been alive, so I'm used to doing it the other way 😂

    Have you ever seen a film called My Man Godfrey? Not a noir, but stuffed full of glorious early 1930s fashion, and it's surprisingly progressive for its time in the way it skewers the disparity between the haves and the have-nots in the Great Depression. Come for the costumes, stay for the social commentary, I guess!

      I love the *idea* of wearing my nice clothes at home... I get momentarily excited every time I encounter the idea.
      but removing cat hair from them, or denying kitteh snuggles while I'm watching TV just aren't options I'm willing to accept.

    I remember! Sometimes I forget that you've always been glamorous but you really kicked up a notch by making "the Millionaire Milliner" film. The story, music and of course you acting was off the chart. Unfortunately I don't have what it takes to wear the gown, but I love seeing it created.

    Hi, I'm pretty certain that I answered your question about my favorite Film Noir back when this dress was new, but I'll answer again as it hasn't changed. It's The Seventh Seal, directed by a very young Ingmar Bergman. The lack of nice clothes to pull from that one is even more meager than from The Maltese Falcon, as it takes place in the age of the first pandemic Black Death in history, and in rural Sweden no less. No interesting dress at all, unless you count Max von Sydow's Death costume.
    Other than that it's another case of where are time running to. It wasn't that long ago you made that necklace you're wearing in the original outro. Except it must have been, and I've misplaced some years somewhere. Very aggravating. I hope you have a good time looking at houses, and that you will tell us all about it in due course.Yours, Ann
