    What's On Your Vanity Table?....

    Lovely vanities! Ada Vice - That will look beautiful with a proper skirt. I would think a three-way vanity mirror would look very nice on top. Recently I happened to be looking into upgrading my vanity lighting and came across this hollywood style mirror that looks like it might be fun too...

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    MAC just released a new permanent line of lip colors - Pro Longwear. I want to check out the reds (Extended Play & Prolong) and pink to see if they suit. The formula is supposed to last up to 12 hours. Will have to see how that claim will work out.

    Vintage Phones

    I think my Taj Mahal Ericofon/touchtone was from the oldphoneguy/oldphoneworks and it is in wonderful condition. I purchased it a few years ago but I'll see if I can track down if it was same seller.

    I have my dad's old tanker desk in storage at my sister's office so what I have currently fits with a more industrial/utilitarian theme but I am dying to find a space for a properly outfitted ladies writing desk type of thing with a set such as Sunny's too.

    Sunny - Lovely desk set! That is just the sort of thing I have been looking for myself. I've had my eye on this set online but it's just a bit too pink for my taste: http://www.tias.com/cgi-bin/mp.fcgi?itemKey=3923772400

    Finally got around to finding this thread and taking a pic of my vintage office supplies: Mutual Adjustable #20 Hole Punch, Scotch Tape Dispenser, Letter/Pen holder & Bates Listfinders. The bulldog clip is of unknown vintage :) It's been on that tin as long as I can remember so those two are...

    à la Auntie Mame with some Shantung cigarette or pajamas pants, perhaps?

    Limoncello

    More Limoncello love! Puzzicato/Wire9Vintage - Adding some heavy cream or splashing atop some ice cream sounds wonderful... I'll have to try these one day soon. If you find commercial Limoncello too sweet, it is so very easy to make your own and adjust to taste. I've substituted lemon with...

    Canning and preserving...

    "The rule is, jam to-morrow and jam yesterday - but never jam to-day." Mes Confitures by Christine Ferber is a really terrific book. I make blackberry jam every year and there is just nothing like opening those little jars of summertime in the bleakness of winter. When I can get the right...

    Vintage Bathing Suits

    Something to keep in mind for later this summer once stores move on to fall, I paid full price for the jantzen vamp/hollywood swimsuit last year and my sister was able to pick up the same suit at Dillards for only $25 a month later. At the time, neither of us knew the other had it!
