  Robert McGinnis 60s cover art at How to be a Retronaut This week has been another of working away on the new website; it is now really coming together so I am very excited and can’t wait to show you all once it is ready to go. After all the travelling we did last [...]

  International ‘Goldfinger’ soundtrack covers from How to be a Retronaut This round up should have come to you on Friday, as with all the wonders of modern travel I had planned to finish it on the train journey up to Scotland for a wedding this weekend. However the ‘wonders’ of modern travel turned out [...]

  Eight   I hope you’ve all had great weeks possums. Here in the PDV bat cave, I’ve been trying to get my head around CSS for a new website I should be launching soon, restoring all those darn posts I deleted by mistake, and doing plenty of playing with Elsa. This weekend I’ll be [...]

  Footlight Parade picture from 1933 on My Vintage Vogue Hope you have all had enjoyable weeks possums. I’ve been photographing, listing and cleaning much of the week, but although I’ve been really busy it has been nice to feel I’m achieving things. Some weeks I feel overwhelmed by the mountain of things I have [...]

  Photographs of Olivia de Havilland at Q’s Daydream Vintage Another day another dollar. Or another week, another… dollar. Running a small business is hard!

  C. Hérouard, La Garçonne at home, 1925 found via Sighs and Whispers Very few words from me today possums, as it is 10:40pm and I have been putting this together all evening. I didn’t get a chance to do anything earlier today as I was trying to fill in my accounts, which I hadn’t [...]

I have spent most of today sorting out clothing for a special collection I am putting together for London 60s Week, which is at the end of July.

  It is impossible to describe how much I adore this crazy cat sweater on Ashley of Fancy Fine This week seems to have flown by doesn’t it, I seem to have got hardly anything done. It doesn’t help that I have a bit of a sniffle, so I have been taking it a bit [...]

  Cat bustier jumpsuit by Helmut Lang, via Sighs and Whispers. Another week, another bumper round-up to see you through Saturday and Sunday. Tonight I am going to see 70s film The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes at independent cinema The Lexi, and tomorrow I’ll be going punting with a friend in Cambridge. What will [...]

  This blue coat from 1953 is so fabulous. Found at My Vintage Vogue. Phew, as ever I had so much to put into this round-up. In fact I had to cut out heaps of things I had saved because it was just going to be too enormous! Mr D is out of the house [...]
