Hi Laura,
I think we have similar coloring. Except I have black hair (shot with white). My wardrobe is exceptionally black but I have gradually introduced color in the past few years. What works for me are vibrant, clear colors.
I would recommend taking pictures of yourself in different...
::gasp::
Aerosoles & Naturalizers... Bound to be comfy too!
I'm such a sucker for the two tone. Will definitely look for these. Thanks!
Easy Spirit has these cute shoes but when I tried the on the vamp hit at a very awkward spot on my foot and I had to pass them by...
Lauren,
Based on a quick search, your soup bowls were made in the mid-1940's but they might have been made from older UHL molds.
Here is an Uhl auction that has some Vogue Pottery info:
"Vogue Pottery took over the Uhl factory in 1945, and produced some items using the Uhl molds until...
That Butterick is very cute! Everytime I see a pattern I like I save the picture and name it the number so I won't forget it. But I have more than one pattern number floating around that I don't remember what it was but can't seem to let it go.
Here is an ebay auction for the simplicity...
I have two wicker baskets on the top shelf of my closet holding purses. The purses I keep tucked away in their purse bags. I also buy flannel and custom make them for the ones that didn't come with. 2 are in pillow cases. It sounds like a lot but I actually only have a few bags because I don't...
Ricki, that is quite a wow! dress. just beautiful.
Missed my max bid by a little over $10 and I had to let it go:
c'est la vie...
There are a number of dresses that I watch and don't have a prayers chance of fitting in or $$$. Do we put those in here too?
Nikki, I am so saddened by your china horror story! Those poor dishes didn't stand a chance. Glad you were able to salvage something from that disaster.
I just received this spadea pattern in the mail yesterday and it is pristine. I don't quite know when I will have the heart to open it up...
So many nice things ladies! I have had my eye on a number of items lately but so far that is all I have been able to put on them.
Until... inspiration hit. How do you say it? oh yes: Squeeee!!!! I love to get fed ex packages. Today I got the Moda fabric I ordered for making this Vintage Vogue...
Ditto, a while back my sister sent me a picture of my niece (6 yo) posing, looking much older and totally hoochie. My jaw dropped. Literally.
But as for vintage or vintage inspired, if no-one else is wearing it or it looks too "different" - my son won't wear it. Mainly just hawaiian shirts...
Congratulations, Gold Leaf! The male name you have picked out is very handsome. Now it seems to be the norm to have unusual names but having grown up with one myself (Pia Natasha), I chose the go a more traditional route (Nicholas James) and since I didn't know in advance, I also kept Natalie...
Thora, I love the first pair. As a matter of fact, in a slight bit of masochism and not having seen your post, I tried on these dolce & gabbana platform mary janes earlier today at Filenes Basement:
Out of my price range but just lovely.
P.
Curses! Those devious folk at Butterick released 2 more Retro '52 patterns:
