Yes, I am wearing a 1920s themed party outfit for the E.A. Poe Museum "Unhappy Hour." It was...interesting, to say the least. My sister and I had a great time together admiring the Poe manuscripts that were on display. As you all know, Poe has been the sole inspiration behind most of my custom Pullip dolls, so seeing his work in person was quite a big deal for me ^^
In other news, I'll be updating my Doll A Week within the next few days and I'll do my best to catch up on everyone's photos!! Sorry I've been absent this last week or so.
Notes: It is Wednesday 27th November 1929, and from the shadows it's late morning as we look south down the street. It is also just a month after Black Thursday on Wall St.
A woman climbs the Post Office steps on the right, while a gent in a suit and hat relaxes on the seat outside. This is the third post office premises in Katoomba and opened as a single storey building in August 1910, at that time it had 100 telephone subscribers. It was expanded in 1917 to provide bathroom facilities for the female staff who had replaced the men away at war. The second floor was added in 1923. Postal services relocated to the new building in Pioneer Place in 1996.
The Government Savings Bank of NSW building on the left was constructed in 1926. It is now the Commonwealth Bank.
A man stands at the sandstone kerb to hitch his horse and sulky at the verandah post outside Louis Goldstein - Jeweller & Optician, also dealing in art novelties and souvenirs of the Blue Mountains. The shop operated from 1914 to 1933 at 63 Katoomba St. Harold Lloyd, watchmaker and jeweller, took over the business from the 1930s and was an alderman on Katoomba Municipal Council 1937- 44. The shop operated as Lloyd's Jewellers until 1984.
On the other side of Goldstein's is Babyland.
"'BABYLAND!'
A dressmaking establishment in Katoomba Street displays a sign on one window, 'Babyland' being re-served for exhibition of raiment for the infant. The other day, one of the shop's staff, a girl with her full share of attractiveness, was noticed making some arrangements in the window by one of the youths of the township, 'Gee, some baby!' he murmured happily, catching sight of the sign and the girl, simultaneously."
On the right is Webb's Ladies Hairdresser at number 58, until recently Blues Cafe, also a relatively new building constructed in 1926. Much later is was Greco's Fish Chips & Hamburgers, presently Cattlefish - Burgers Fish & Chips.
Harold Brown's dental surgery is located above Goyder Bros Real Estate at no. 88, erected in the early 1920s. The Goyder Brothers were a prominent Katoomba family with interests in real estate, auctions, tours and holiday cottages.

Three generations of a German middle-class family posing in a garden underneath a blooming cherry tree. Note the chicken in the background. I discovered this charming vintage photograph at a flea market in Stuttgart.
Country of origin: Germany
Bigelow carpets were sold during the 1920s to complement the traditional furnishings so popular at the time. I think they did more modern designs too, but the vast majority of buyers tended to prefer the traditional colonial styles.
I have a set of these wedding photos from 1920's France - from other photos this is a provincial wedding but they've made an effort to be fashionable. Bought in Bordeaux.
My aunts Flo and Cecile, circa the twenties. Cecile wanted to become a nun but they wouldn't take her. Flo worked during the second world war as a recruiter, using her sex appeal to lure young men to their demise,a true siren.
A boy in a sailor suit languorously looking out of the window in a middle-class home. There's a certain melancholy to this vintage photograph, which I discovered in an antiques shop in Bonn.

These 1920s ads by Armstrong are often so comfortable looking, it's easy to imagine using the schemes now. Linoleum is beautiful. This striated color was called Jaspé back in the day.

(July 29, 1905 – September 27, 1965) was an American actress who rose to stardom in silent film during the 1920s. It was her appearance as a plucky shopgirl in the film It that brought her global fame and the nickname "The It Girl". Bow came to personify the roaring twenties and is described as its leading sex symbol.

George Barbier (1882–1932) became one of the most renowned French Art Deco illustrators after his exhibition of ninety costume drawings at the Galerie Boutet de Monval in Paris. Being a distinguished artist of the Art Deco movement, he created fashion designs for several leading couturiers and fashion houses during the time. Barbier was widely acclaimed for the design of costumes, jewelry, wallpaper, and glasswork. His creations were published in famous magazines including Gazette du Bon Ton, La Vie Parisienne, and Vogue.

(November 14, 1906 – August 8, 1985), generally known by her stage name Louise Brooks, was an American dancer, model, showgirl and silent film actress, noted for popularizing the bobbed haircut. Brooks is best known for her three feature roles including two G. W. Pabst films: in Pandora's Box (1929), Diary of a Lost Girl (1929), and Prix de Beauté (Miss Europe) (1930). She starred in 17 silent films and, late in life, authored a memoir, Lulu in Hollywood.
This is a 20" x 30" piece of original 1920's prohibition art done in watercolour and ink on paper, It is very heavy and still in its original frame with paper backing. I think the ghosts look a lot like Beistle's famous but short-lived floating spectre. The inscriptions on the gravestones are pretty humourous.
