Secret Weapons
I have horrible memories of pumice stoning my legs when I was younger - all for naught. ::shudder:: But as far as the topic at hand, I swear by diamancel foot buffers and use one of OPI's Pedicure soak/soften/scrubs beforehand. I also like having a polished set ot toes (especially in the...- Pina Bridgette

Do You Still Use "Golden Age" Products?
I didn't think I still used much until I started thinking about the kitchen. Not a whole lot has changed in the last century there: King Arthur Flour (1790) Mortons Kosher Salt (1848) Rumford Baking Powder (1950) ARM & HAMMER Baking Soda (1846) Nielsen-Massey Vanilla (1907) Band-Aids...- Pina Bridgette

show us your lippy
I can never be loyal to just one red these days it seems but Chanel Rouge Star (No 22) was my signature red for years. It was either renamed in the US or discontinued. One day I stopped to pick up a tube and it was gone. I've done searches and it still comes up on various Japanese and French...- Pina Bridgette

The ones that got away
Kim, I was looking through fabrics on-line and remembered your plight. Here is a link that has 1/4", 1/8" and 1/16" cotton-poly gingham. The 1/8" gingham is $2.89/yd and they have it in orange (was it really peach?). I haven't purchased from them before but it might be worth checking out...- Pina Bridgette

Sailor outfits for children.
If you can sew or know someone who can, look for older (80's?) Butterick patterns 4244 & 4246. I think the number has been recycled along the line so be sure they are the childrens patterns. or maybe another of the pattern companies has one out?- Pina Bridgette

New Ladies and Gents Step Forward
Hello & welcome to all, I have not always understood history so well but have always been in love with things from the past. Arts & crafts, nouveau, deco, modernist, mid-century, retro, you name it but not really loyal to any one era - just whatever works. Up until recently I mainly focused...- Pina Bridgette

How old is everyone?
"...I am sixteen, going on seventeen" </sound of music> Sorry, the song just popped in my head. I am 36 going on 37 doesn't quite have the same ring to it. But it is true.- Pina Bridgette

Cardigans, cardigans, cardigans!
Maybe the Land's End Fine Gauge Cardigans? I was just looking at sweaters/twin sets and was thinking of picking one of these up.

Everyday Bags
Miss Dottie & Miss Bella, one of my small tote purses is a black Harveys seatbelt, too. Very fun. Dahlia, I'm sure they have them in pink as well. I think I've seen them at Nordstroms, too if you like to check them out in person. Yesterday, I got to thinking about my ugly wheeled computer tote...- Pina Bridgette

Everyday Bags
That was exactly my reaction when I saw the second purse in the sale racks of Nordstrom a few years back. It is a Michael Kors Saranac purse and if I never buy another purse other than this one, I will be fine because the picture I have doesn't do it justice and just because it makes me happy...- Pina Bridgette
