    Everyday Bags

    My current summer purse: My favorite winter purse (just cleaned and put away last weekend): For work, I use one of those terrible ballistic nylon suitcase-like trolley bags because my shoulders were hurting from the sling-type case I tried to use. But I would love to find something...

    Your signature cocktail.

    My usual is vodka and tonic. Chopin Vodka is my favorite. It may be a lousy thing to do to good rum but last week I drank the last of my kosher for passover (made with sugar not hfcs) coke in a cuba libre.

    Loungers' Pets

    Tried to take a few family photos recently and found a much more willing (captive?) subject in my cat, Pudding: Need to get a much better picture sometime but allow me to introduce my sister's dog, Bogart:

    Golden Era Passtimes / Hobbies

    Hobbies I have known (and for some been very bad at): coins, stamps, pottery, painting, photography, chess, bowling, dancing, baking, preserving, travel, crosswords, reading, etc. If I had outside space fulltime, I would love to garden. Currently, teaching myself to sew/quilt. Would love to knit...

    Sewing Lessons & FAQ

    My local Hancock Fabrics (Vienna, Va) is closing and all patterns are 60% off the lowest marked price with varying discounts on other items throughout the store. I went on a binge and am off to G Street for some fabrics and notions this morning (Well, I have a coupon! ). Also, I received an...

    show us your lippy

    This thread is very bad for me. Everytime I check back, there is a new red I am dying to try. Count me in as one more for the MAC Russian Red: trying on my easter bonnet. My Besame samples came in yesterday and I was so excited, I tried them all on. At the same time. I didn't want to...

    Where did your user name come from??

    When I was settin-up my cable tv service, they totally messed up my name... well, not totally but close, and since then I've adopted it as a sort of alter-ego: Miz Pina. Plus, it has kind of a nice ring to it.

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    Can I confess? I'm not even sure I should be posting my non-$10 club purchase here but I must share my gorgeous new somewhat vintage-inspired shoes: I can't give you any further details (a handbag, too) because I might expire from the shame alone. And I mean to repent, I really do but...

    Show us your most precious vintage item .

    Pink, I love your cookbooks. They look so well-loved.... the best kind! I just got one dated 1954 that I remember my mom cooking from called Anybody Can Cook by Gwen French (Grrr, my other sister got this lucky falling apart family prize). I've already made a few things from it. With luck, one...

    Very sweet vanities, 16 & BonnieJean. I, too, have vanity love. Mine is a Heywood-Wakefield Rio vanity. It was my 3rd major purchase when I moved out on my own... mattress, sofa, vanity - check, check, check. I didn't know much about furniture but I fell hard. Even though I could ill afford it...

    Vintage Bathing Suits

    Thanks for the response, Decobelle & exquisitebones! It could just be my neck/shoulders but I love that style so I'll definitely give the Esther Williams suit a try.

    Vintage Bathing Suits

    So many darling suits! I've had a Bondi Bathers Betty swimsuit (http://bondibathers.stores.yahoo.net/betty.html) for several seasons now and no matter how loose or tight I tie it, the knot bedevils my neck after a while. The Esther Williams suit seems to have a similar tie. How is the comfort of...

    You can never have too many reds, can you? To be sure, I have rarely met a red I didn't like but sadly, many of them do not do much for me. Judging by the pics in this thread, I need to spend some time exploring my local MAC because I love all of the reds that have been posted thus far. But...
