    Do you look like a past relative and get negative comments for it from family?

    Yes, there certainly is a resemblance! You're both beauties! I hope your mother can look beyond her memories and see how nice you look in your vintage wear!

    Do you look like a past relative and get negative comments for it from family?

    Oh my... but I do know what you mean. My daughter has a resemblance to a great aunt of mine who was... an interesting lady (to say the least). Anyone who ever had a run-in with her is pretty well scarred for life! BUT, I remind my daughter that her great-great aunt was a beautiful and stylish...

    "Sherlock" BBC series.

    Oh, I agree...the first one was phenomenal! And yes, the added bonus of Alan Cumming introducing Masterpiece Mystery is nice. His style is impeccable, isn't it?

    "Sherlock" BBC series.

    PBS is showing this now in the U.S. Just watched the second episode and can't wait for the third one next week. LOVE it! I have always like Martin Freeman, and kinda have a crush on him now :)!

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    Smuterella, That is one fabulous hat! I hope the bee doesn't end up meaning anything weird, because it's GORGEOUS! (I like bees:) Do you have it yet, or are you awaiting its arrival?

    "Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)

    Excellent season ender! This show simmers, it doesn't explode. I thought about the episode all day! I gasped when Sally asked, "Who's Dick?" That was just fantastic! Megan is the woman those kids need to have around... remember Faye saying she didn't know what to do with children? Don, I...

    What sparked your fascination with the "Golden Era"?

    Like some others here, I'm not that old, but have/had old parents (mom born in 1928, dad in 1922). So, the "golden era" was much closer to me. In teaching me about clothes and make-up, my mom came from a much older aesthetic. I used to be so jealous of my friends who had hot rollers (where my...

    Show Us Your Table Lighters

    So fascinating! I've also never seen anything like that... As much as I hate smoking (please don't throw anything at me!), I have a weird fascination with old smoking things... cigarette cases, holders, pipe stands, and I love, love, love a pretty table lighter! Show more, please!

    "Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)

    Oh so much in last night's show! What, pray tell, will next week hold?? Sally and Glen... hmmm. Sally seems to be OK, and Betty almost met the child on equal ground! Almost. Glen... not sure what's up with that. The kid has problems, but it looks like they're just talking. But he was trying...

    Anybody Else Collect Sewing Machines?

    El, Thank you so much! My Google search did not turn that up, only ones I had to pay for. Wonderful! You made my kiddo's day.

    Anybody Else Collect Sewing Machines?

    I did a search and didn't find anything, so if I missed something applicable, please kindly point me in the right direction... My daughter begged and pleaded--for her birthday--for me to buy her a Singer Sew Handy Model 50 children's sewing machine (turning 10). I came with case and original...

    "Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)

    It was hadn't been flagged, with the suggestion that if it was dropped, there would be no further looking at the requests by the government. I don't get the whole Megan thing. Is she up to something? Has she been angling all along? And, of course, Faye is not the kinda woman to handle that...

    Hey, I'm having a hard time forgiving him for not taking ME to Shea Stadium! :p

    Monograms

    Thanks, gals. If I were a Mc, that'd make a pretty cool monogram, but I'm an Mac, which gets a little unwieldy... Maybe I'll just stick with my first initial!

    "Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)

    I'll go out on a limb here... I think Joan did not go through with it. I think Don is going to do something silly in his stress, probably with Megan (did you see the lingering look he gave her?), which will lead to something going on with Faye (that will be ugly). We saw in the last...

    Theme song

    On a Clash note (they make me happy...), my current theme song is somewhat vintage in attitude: Mick Jones' Carbon/Silicon's "The News." "Good morning, here's the news, and all of it is good. Good evening, here's the news, and all of it is good. And the weather's good!" It's happiness.

    Monograms

    Does anyone know how to monogram a Mc or Mac name? Is the last name initial the M, or is it the first letter of the "name" after the Mc/Mac? (Same with O' names)... This has been bugging me for a while. Emily Post has been NO help! Of course, the "real" surname is the bit that comes after the...

    What's In Your Bathroom Library?

    I'm a bath TUB reader, so I take in books that I'm currently reading... right now I carry around Mad World, about Evelyn Waugh. I haven't figure out how to do electronics in the tub safely, so only books... I also don't understand reading in the bathroom other than in the tub, which is where...

    Show us your radios!

    Lizzie, as usual, you are a wealth of knowledge. I'll pass all of this information on to my "radio man" (actually my father-in-law, who has been told to bring tubes and tools with him to Thanksgiving dinner). That is much more exciting on the jack, too. I have just the stuff on my ipod, too.

    Home is where the Kitchen is

    Golly gosh. If I won the lottery, that right there is what I'd buy. And no one would see me ever again!
