    Sweater clips/sweater guards

    Here's a couple I bought a few months ago. I wear a cardigan or sweater set to work almost every day and I have probably about 10 sweater clips/guards now to mix and match.

    Uh Oh!

    I feel the same way about some of the skyrocketing pattern prices. $60 for an apron pattern? $100 for a day dress?! :eusa_doh: :rolleyes:

    Great coat. The straight boxy back makes me think it's 60's. Looks like it's a burnout velvet on taffeta? Good find.

    Changeling - Clint Eastwood & Angelina Jolie

    From a recent review of the movie: "... but all the cloche hats in the world can’t overcome the film’s frustrating lack of focus."

    Hand Cream & Gloves

    For a cheap & plentiful alternative to an expensive lotion/cream - just use good ole Vaseline. (Oooh, and it's vintage, too.) ;)

    Queen Mary '08-Whose going and what are you wearing??

    I think perhaps you were thinking of the Art Deco Society's event on the Queen Mary - they usually have a pajama party. I say, go ahead and make those silk pajamas. :)
