Hello Friday Flirts – bit late today – we been distracted by the Halloween flurry and are not getting round to much flirting!

Thought we’d share some recent Halloween themed Vintage Finds from some of our favourite sites…

Vintage Halloween Postcards

Vintage Halloween Postcard on Old Postcards

The more we read, the more we realise Vintage Halloween postcards are quite collectable and worth a tidy little sum in mint condition. We do like collecting postcards, so here’s some of our favourites from Old Postcards

Through 30 years of travel they have acquired over 3 million vintage postcards in numerous categories, from Art Nouveau to Make-Up to Wrestling.

We’ve not yet used them ourselves, but they do ship worldwide – definitely worth a look!

A must see film from the 1950’s! “The Man With The Golden Arm” (1955) – Starring Frank Sinatra, Kim Novak and Eleanor Parker, Produced and Directed by Otto Preminger.

Man with the Golden Arm

Frank Sinatra stars as Franky Machine, a.k.a ‘Dealer’, a.k.a ‘The man with the golden arm’, back room poker legend and recovering heroin addict. It’s 6 months after getting arrested and going through rehab and Franky returns home with a fresh attitude, a new musical passion and a chance to rebuild his life, but in the classic scenario his old life and habits are where he left them and ready to drag him back down.

This film is dirty and hard; heroin addiction, illegal gambling, alcoholics, poverty, psychological games, murder, and all shot through with great acting and dialogue, and a great jazz soundtrack (Elmer Bernstein/Shorty Rodgers & his Giants). At times it feels like a film with a message, but Sinatra shows great acting talent and realism. There are also great moments from Eleanor Parker, Franky’s neurotic, wheel-chair bound wife, and Kim Novak, the beautiful girl downstairs, and I can’t forget ‘Sparrow’ my favourite character.

Watch this film if you want to see the original Trainspotting, but the jazz version set in the post-war depression, or if you want to see if Sinatra can do more in a film than just sing a memorable tune (even if he can’t play the drums!)

Happy Friday Vintage lovers everywhere!

We’re currently chilling out with Stan/Adam and Jamie in the lovely city of Bristol but we couldn’t let this Friday pass without mentioning the georgous Gianny L and posting her DIY Vintage 1970’s Style Tunic clip.

A simple way to use up those odd bits of vintage material you fell in love with, but haven’t worked out how to use yet. Love the cheeky music too.
