    Janine's Vintage Shoes

    Janine, if you're reading this--spectacular collection!! Attention shoe designers! Please look at this collection and create some "new" vintage-inspired shoes for gals with modern feet! I'm sure you'd sell hundreds just to FL-ers!

    What do you keep your makeup in at home.

    I keep most of my everyday stuff in a vintage train case. The makeup tray was missing when I got it, but I found a nice organizer that fits inside at the local discount store. Some of my other grooming stuff is in a basket in the bathroom closet and my everyday hair care stuff hangs just inside...

    Purse and Shoe addiction!

    This will be my first Dofan bag purchase. I'm excited to get it. I'm just now learning about vintage bags. The vintage bags seem to be made sturdier than a lot I see in the average store. Plus I love the styling of vintage bags and that's something I can never find with modern ones. I want to...

    Purse and Shoe addiction!

    Me too! When my grandmother passed away 10 years ago or so, she had quite a collection of proper lady accessories: lots of gloves, purses, hats and scarves. I remember thinking those were just little old lady stuff. I think they ended up at a Salvation Army store or something. I could just thump...

    Purse and Shoe addiction!

    I think I've acquired an addition to purses and shoes since I've begun wearing more vintage styled clothing. I never felt the need to have several purses, nor shoes in assorted colors. Now it seems I can't have enough! Is there a cure for this? :) (Not that I want to be "cured"--this is way too...

    Wanted: For Murder of Good Grooming

    Another confession... There's been days when I've been each of these "murderers". I get the same comments! I don't want to be rude, but it sure is annoying when I get asked that same question several times a day by people. Got any good replies to this question? Just curious (and I'm sure...

    Vintage Looking Oxford Shoes - Chadwicks

    Those are just the cutest! But, wow! $75! Guess I'm going to have to save my egg money! Naturalizer shoes are pretty comfortable, right? I have very flat feet with no arches and "cheaply made" shoes really make my feet ache. Maybe I can find a pair in a store to try on first. If anyone gets a...

    Vintage Looking Oxford Shoes - Chadwicks

    Ditto, here too! If a shoe manufacturer made these in an inch or inch and a half heels, I'd buy every color! If anyone sees this style shoe in a lower heel, please give a heads-up here. I'm sure a lot of us ladies can't wear those stylish high heels (wish I could :( ) I've been seeing a lot of...

    Is it wrong?

    I was told by an antique dealer recently that most dealers use eBay to determine an item's value. It certainly is a different world these days. Elaina, I am not a fan of GW too. Unless you're a ladies size 2 or a super duper plus size, there aren't a lot of good clothing in the local GW store...

    Is it wrong?

    Goodwill DOES have an auction site http://www.shopgoodwill.com/ I just went there and typed in "fedora" in the search engine and came up with 3 auctions. I don't know if they are what you guys would be interested in, but apparently, there is some good stuff on their auction site. I haven't...

    hair extensions

    Toni Brattin has a lot of hair clips that work like this. You can also get combs with the hair attached or the ones with elastic bands. Here's an example of one of the clips. http://www.hsn.com/cnt/prod/default.aspx?webp_id=2157251&web_id=2157251&sf=bs&attr=1952&prev=hp!sf!161!1952...

    Oh the Stigma with wearing seamed fully fashioned stockings!

    RM-I haven't purchased the thigh highs, so I can't tell you what they're like. I used to have a pair of thigh highs (can't remember the brand), but they were so tight around my thighs. It felt like I had heavy rubber bands around them and it seemed like they were cutting off the circulation. (I...

    Let's See Those Novelty Prints

    Love those ties! Marc, I'm sure this has been posted over on the guys' threads, but my husband has recently started collecting 30s ties. He found a really nice hand-painted one and now he's on the hunt for more. Were most of the ties of the era hand-painted? Sometimes I see ties out on my...

    The Price of Thrift

    I just visited my local GoodWill store today and noticed they had raised their prices. I confirmed it with a worker. Their dresses are now $5. It seems everything went up a dollar. I know that Salvation Army has recently raised their prices too. At least for now, at GoodWill they still have...

    Let's See Those Novelty Prints

    OH, we don't have any quilt stores around here--maybe if I drive 50 miles or so. The closest we have is JoAnn's. I live in a smaller metropolitan area.

    Let's See Those Novelty Prints

    Wow, Elaina, you really have had bad experiences with them! I've only had a few annoyances, but I live about 20 miles away from them and if I can shop online and get good fabric--that's a plus for me. I've also noticed the quality of fabric has gone downhill at JoAnn's. It seems every bolt had...

    Let's See Those Novelty Prints

    Wal-Mart is closing their fabric departments down????:eek: That was always a good place to get "cheapie" fabric for curtains and other projects. Sometimes I'd even find some fabric for clothing. I'm curious, how come you don't shop at JoAnn's? I'm discouraged with our local one because...

    Oh the Stigma with wearing seamed fully fashioned stockings!

    Nope, These are seamless. But ever since my encounter that I mentioned at the beginning of this thread, I've decided that these will be a safer bet for everyday wear in public. I'll save my seamed ones for special occasions.

    Let's See Those Novelty Prints

    Great website! I'd like to know if anyone else has purchased from this website too. Great prices and a big selection. More rayon choices than what I've seen around here in the local fabric stores. Thanks for posting that website.
