  3. Hey Gem, vintage snotrags, pretty rare, everything we had in Holland was eaten or burned during the war. They still make 'em, mostly red, with blue and white flower/paisley-ish prints.
    I'll be posting more homemade pics soon. xP.

  4. Hey M.

    Thanks,the lay-out is a bitch. Work in progress.

    Lady Mose, Angelique Houtkamp, made the header. Based on the old 'see-thru' postcards. It's the Van Heek corduroy mills, in Enschede, in the background.
