To post a picture, when replying to a message, look above the text box and you will see many icons. The yellow box says "insert image" if you hover your mouse over it. Use that to insert a .jpg picture.LuckiestK said:Last month, I bought the dantiest little compact from an antique store. I can't stop picking it up and opening it and stroking the little "pearl" design on the front. It is made of base metal and doesn't have the mirror or powder puff but I just love it anyway!
Awww! That's pretty neat, BriarRose.BriarRose said:My husband gave me a heart necklace with the first letters of "Dearest Heart" represented by precious stones. He bought it years before we met, when there was no special woman, and saved it for me.
That sounds lovely Briar (the sari not the snood!LOl).BriarRose said:Kimonos and saris are so beautiful that any woman would want to wear them. I used to own a shift made of sari silk - possibly the most gorgeous garment I ever owned. I have a "thing" for 1920's beaded purses, and actually tried to force my daughter to wear a snood. I will never be forgiven for that lapse in maternal judgement! :laugh:
There are one or two members here who could help with that if you could describe it in detail or find a photo online. Start by searching WWI buttons.ColourODarkness said:I remember as a kid collecting military buttons, there was one specific one I would take out of the box and look at, running my fingers over the detail. I'll have to find a picture of one similar
It would be great if you could find a picture and would like to share it ColourODarkness, would love to see thatColourODarkness said:I've often had impulses to buy posters with pin up gals on and war time jackets from ebay but alas, I have not the money spare to do so...

I don't remember anything about the detail on the button, (It was around 13 years ago that I actually had it lol) only that there was quite a lot of it...helz_belz said:It would be great if you could find a picture and would like to share it ColourODarkness, would love to see that
Thanks Helz! The only one that seemed familiar to me is the Guards Machine Gun Battalion badge, but looking at the images I can find I don't think it's the design on my button... On the other hand, whilst looking up the buttons I found one that looked familiar!helz_belz said:Thats a nice button Colour! That one is Tank Corp, but all regiments had their own. They were often made into sweetheart brooches. This website has a good image list of the different British regimental cap badges from the First World War, maybe you'll recognise the regiment from your old button there? http://www.roll-of-honour.com/Regiments/CapBadges.html
