    Sewing Lessons & FAQ

    I really need advice on this one... :( Today I bought a vintage white chenille bedspread at a church bazzar. It had no tags and I had no idea of the size, but I was hoping it was at least a full size which would cover my queen size bed. Alas, after I washed it and put it on, I discovered it...

    Vintage Hair shades

    Thanks everyone for the advice on colors. Honey Doll - I had never tried Feria before, but after your recommendation, I checked out the website and found a color (close to my natural) that I absolutely loved. It is called Caramel Kiss and what I especially like is the special conditioner so...

    Vintage Hair shades

    I am due to touch up my hair color, and was thinking of trying a different (but not too extreme) shade. I do my own color and usually use Miss Clariol or Hydrience. My natural color is a reddish blonde, and I like the warmer shades. What shades were popular in the "Golden Era"?

    retro make-up tips and tricks

    I can't find Max Factor anywhere here either. I have resigned myself to ordering online, and Walgreens had the panstick makeup in most shades, including the lighter ones which are sometimes hard to find. They also sometimes offer free shipping.:)

    Vintage Makeup Favorites

    The way I apply it: Use a large fluffy puff (not like the ones in a pressed compact) and fluff it on, then dust off excess with a really full makeup brush. I don't think it would be a good idea to transfer loose powder to a pressed powder compact:)

    Interesting Our Daughters in Vintage

    My 9 year old daughter likes me to set her hair to give her that '40s Veronica Lake look and she will watch the '40s movies with me. She likes to see the stars looking glamourous as opposed to most of today's stars who look like slobs.

    Besame cosmetics

    I have the loose powder. The box is .37 oz. compared to Coty Airspun at 2.3 oz. so it is smaller. This is my second box, the first lasted from December until about June with everyday usage, so like most of their products, they do last a while. The Besame powder has that heavenly vanilla...

    Cold Cream- Brands and advice!

    I, like my mother before me, swear by Ponds brand cold cream, but sometimes I can't always find it in stock, another alternative that I like (and is also a good value) is Jergen's.

    Agatha Christie's "Poirot"

    I also enjoy the Poirot series, and watch it on the Biography channel several times a week. For fans of Miss Marple, there is a series by Patricia Wentworth called Miss Silver, these books also feature an elderly lady detective and are very enjoyable.

    Sleeping in curlers?

    I don't know of anyone who had luck with Spoolies. Long hair/short hair thick or thin, they just don't stay put!:mad: I gave them to my daughter to use in her doll's hair (they don't work for that either):)

    Sleeping in curlers?

    I just switched from doing pin curls with bobbie pins to the smallest size of the foam rollers. I can do my whole head in about 10 minutes and it stays rolled all night! I think the results are better too, no frizz, and they last longer, and best of all, no fish hooks from stray ends! I don't...
