    Girdles, Corsets, and Underpinnings

    I found the bra on the Hanes website: http://www.hanes.com/Hanes/Products/Women-Hanes/Women_ShopByCategory-Hanes/Women_Bras-Hanes/Women_Bras_WireFreeBras-Hanes/1A0314.aspx They don't have it in a 30C, but I don't know if tht means they don't carry it, or if they just don't have it in...

    Better then Beauty

    There is nothing I hate more than listening to other people's overly loud cell phone conversations (you know the type - those who feel the need to practically shout while on the phone) while trying to eat in a restaurant. That goes for any other type of public setting (supermarket, etc.) as well.

    Can you help me date this item??

    Late 60s to early 70s was my gut reaction, especially with the harvest gold colored seat cushions. These would look fab recovered in red vinyl!

    Show us your hair do's....

    Smuterella - I really like your curls. In what direction did you curl your bangs to get that height? My bangs always end up falling. I assume all the rest of your hair was curled under, am I correct? In the back did you leave the crown of your hair smooth or did you roll your hair all the...

    AAre multiples of this hat for sale on a site or was it a one-time only auction/sale? I have to go to a wedding and would love a hat like this to wear. Thanks!

    Girdles, Corsets, and Underpinnings

    Hanes makes a really nice wireless padded bra (in a range of sizes) that gives the same shape as the Doreen bra pictured. I bought one about 2 weeks ago at Wal-Mart for $9+ change, and it is the most comfortable bra that I own. I can't stop marvelling at how nice it feels on (it doesn't even...

    lyburnum - You should be able to straighten that hat's brim out with a little steam. When I need to freshen up a hat or fix a crooked brim, I stuff the crown of the hat with plastic bags (so it will keep it's shape) and put the hat on some sort of homemade stand (I usually put the hat on top of...

    OT:Saving Tip of the Day

    I also try to empty my purse of loose change as much as possible. I put it all in a bank on my dresser and when the bank is full, I cash it in. You'd be amazed at how fast the change adds up if you do this every night or every couple of days. Because it's loose change, I really don't miss it...

    Gardens vegetable, flower or other?

    Here's another thing to consider - I used to water my plants at night and it caused a slug problem. They ate up all of my plants because I was making the ground nice and slippery and wet for them to slide around on at night. It made for an optimum slug environment. When I stopped watering at...

    I just found out I am a member of an ancient Scottish clan named Macfie: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clan_Macfie I'm excited to be able to wear a tartan that I have ties to!

    OT:Saving Tip of the Day

    This is going to sound super cheap, but I cut dryer sheets in half. Still works just as good and you get twice as much use from a box. I rarely use ziploc bags anymore. Instead I use a reseable plastic container and re-use it. I've pretty much eliminated anything disposable from the...

    Home Economics

    On a related note, one of our local grocery stores has a gas perks program that gives you discounts on gas that increase with the more money you spend at the store. At first glance this seems like a great deal - you can easily get 30-40-50-60 cents off a gallon at the gas pump (conveniently...

    Home Economics

    I agree. You have to also think about the cost to make things. Just for an example - if you made your own bread, even though you think you are saving, would it cost more if you had to buy all the materials to make it from scratch and invest your time to make it? It may be worth your time and...

    Home Economics

    I have the same exact problem. I make supper and my husband keeps eating until there's nothing left. I've started putting aside a portion in the refridgerator before I tell him to come and eat and he doesn't even notice. I also plan out my meals for the week and shop accordingly. When I am...

    Remix Shoes!!

    I ended up ordering the wedges pictured above that aren't on the remix site. I really like the simplicity of them - I think the higher wedge and glossy leather makes the shoes okay for dressier wear and they're simple enough that you can wear them with more casual clothing as well. I thought I...

    Can anyone identify the woman in this 1930s photo?

    Vintage Betty - Wow, I'm speechless. Never in a million years would I have guessed anyone could figure out who she was, let alone find such a fascinating story. :eusa_clap I am in complete awe, my mind has been blown. You should be one of the researchers on PBS' History Detectives, this would...

    Appropriate Dress to Wear As Wedding Guest. Black? Red?

    I don't think the Black & white floral is an issue, but I have been wrong before! ;) Everyone here is always so well put together, I wanted to see what the gals thought. True. I'm reminded of the time hubby & I met some out of town visiting family for a dinner at a restaurant and hubbys...

    Appropriate Dress to Wear As Wedding Guest. Black? Red?

    Maybe I'm missing something, but none of those posts address my question specifically. They seem to be aimed toward an all black dress, not a black and white print. Maybe I should re-phrase my question. This is the dress I'm considering buying...

    Appropriate Dress to Wear As Wedding Guest. Black? Red?

    I've read all of these threads in the past, but I don't think any of them address if wearing a black and white print dress is okay. I could be wrong, but I usually have a good memory for this sort of stuff. :)

    Remix Shoes!!

    I think I want to order these. I have two weddings to go to next month and a I need a comfy, yet dressy pair of shoes to wear (one of the wedding receptions will be outside, so I don't want to wear heels that will be sinking into the ground). But, I can't make up my mind if I want to buy...
