    The Dress

    My hubby and I went furniture shopping this weekend in full dressy vintage-inspired clothing. I had on a nice dress, seamed stockings, etc. and hubby had his suit with a fedora. People came out of the woodwork to comment to us. The most annoying one was, "are you going to a wedding?". I told the...

    Oh, the Stigma of an Astigmatism. . .

    I agree with Sari, Fleur, keep your bangs a little above your eyeglasses and you'll look just darling! Please post pictures when you get your hair cut and with the new glasses. Sari, I personally liked the light blue glasses and the dark ones that were first (they had a kind of art deco...

    Update on Nivea in the little Tin

    :offtopic: I love Pond's too! My skin is so much better since I've switched. Wish I had used this years ago. Now, back to our regularly scheduled thread....

    The Dress

    Well said, Sunny. Its taken me almost 50 years to find mine! Good for you! Grnidwitch, being "lady-like" is more of an attitude than the clothes. If you can still be "lady-like" riding the motorcyle or wearing your summer dresses with white leather keds and bobby socks (BTW, I like that idea...

    Update on Nivea in the little Tin

    I've tried it on my face and found it was too heavy, too. But I have used their facial moisterizer products before. Currently, I use Curel Ultra Healing because it can be used on the body and face and is just the right "lightness". I've got extremely sensitive skin and this stuff has been good...

    The Dress

    I totally agree! I'm a stay-at-home mom (although my boys are pretty much grown) and run a couple of part-time businesses from home, but I do enjoy wearing dresses and skirts. Whenever I wear them, I have a totally different attitude than when I'm wearing jeans and a t-shirt. I definitely feel...

    End Table turned Vanity

    CherryRed, While I don't recall that particular vanity in the movie (mental note to self: got to watch movie again), I have seen those kidney-shaped vanities. They are so pretty. Like I said in my original post, its very easy to put together the skirting with fabric glue and stick-on velcro. I...

    Link to vanity ideas thread on FL

    I don't know if you ladies view any of the other threads on the FL, but I wanted to tell you I have posted in the Display Case under the thread, "End Table Turned Vanity" and put a picture of the vanity I created with my armoire. I'm not trying to toot my own horn, but it might give some of you...

    Update on Nivea in the little Tin

    Thanks, CherryRed, for that info. I use the blue tin in my purse and its my favorite hand cream. I didn't know they had switched where they produced it. I'll have to keep checking too.

    End Table turned Vanity

    Another way to make your own vanity! I'm resurrecting this thread because this week I finally have my very own vanity! I have wanted one for a long time. Even if cost was no option and I had found the perfect vanity, I live in a small home and there just isn't any extra room in my bedroom for...

    I just ordered the foam sticks (2 sets) and they're on sale! A set of 12 is normally $15.95 and right now they're $12.95. So I saved $6 and that kind of makes up for not having a coupon. I can't wait until they get here so I can try them out. Until then, I'll have to stick with my Hot Sticks.

    Thanks, Daisy for the information and especially for the coupon code. I had forgotten about that. I'm going to order those things today. Anything to make my life easier is helpful. (BTW, I found out that my hair holds a curl a lot longer with the hot sticks too. Mine is a little windblown right...

    Daisy, I think the amount of time you leave the hot roller/sticks in depends on how well your hair holds a curl. My hair curls very easy, so I only leave them in until their barely cooled down. (Besides, I only have one set of hot sticks and have to keep rotating them.) If I'm curling my...

    Cute, Kimberly! Looks like you're getting the curler thing! I'm going to look for the foam sticks that JBD uses at night and see if they will work for me. I toss and turn so much in my sleep that any kind of curlers come out. (This a.m. I woke up and one of the spagetti straps on my...

    Kimberly, I'd like to know the answer to this too, especially since I toss and turn so much in my sleep. And those of you that share a bed with your sweetie, what does he say about those lovely curlers in your hair at night? Is there any way to look attractive while wearing curlers?

    Sewing Lessons & FAQ

    Elaina, Why not make a cover-thingy, only instead of a lattice looking one, how about one with pockets, like those shoe holders that you can hang. But since you'll be making it, you can make the pockets fit whatever you're going to put there. There can be pockets for your patterns, smaller ones...

    Nikki, Your hair is really cute! Just darling! (and I love your outfit too!) You mentioned that you "combed" out your hair. So, you're not brushing the curls out at all? I hate to be a pest, but exactly what do you do to your hair after you take the curlers out? Just comb and style the top...

    goldwyn girl, My hair is colored so I have to be careful too or else I get frizz. Make sure you use a good conditioner and I always put some leave-in conditioner on after that (especially at the ends) and then spray it with Lottabody while its still damp. You'll have to experiment with the...
