    ''Unlikeliest Hero' buried with 21-gun salute

    How interesting. I'll have to pick up the book. Was just reading somewhere else the other day about medics (doing some research for an impression) and how most PTO medics carried weapons while ETO medics did not.

    Vintage Nurse's Uniforms

    Hi there! I'm not as familiar with the civilian nursing uniforms, although I imagine they can't be much different - but take a look at this site which is very detailed about uniforms for the different women's service organizations.

    Not that I did a dance or anything in the library after winning it. :rolleyes: Note to self: must remember that librarians will ask you to leave if you're too loud.

    40's plastic wall tiles

    And I love it! I can't wait to see pics of the redone bathroom if that's what you decide to do with them.

    HORRIBLE DAY.... see first post I updated it.

    Gosh, I'm so sorry! I hope your pup will be ok. I'll second what KD said - have you tried contacting the ASPCA ? Also, try the Animal Legal Defense Fund or their main page here. And a couple more links that hopefully can help: Wisconsin Humane Society Marquette Univ's SALDF

    I just want to post a pic of my newest pattern - one which I've been searching for awhile now and just won off ebay a little bit ago, so I'm quite excited about it.

    Lauren - make sure you leave those patterns out somewhere accessible and then walk off and pay no attention to me stuffing them in my suitcase, k?

    Girdles, Corsets, and Underpinnings

    Well, the thing that I find with girdles and other 'foundation' pieces - is that it's just that, a foundation for your clothes. From personal experience, I find clothes of the period fit smoother and hang better with the right underpinnings. You will also tend to reflect that support in how...

    Recommended Wardrobe for College Girl

    Snoods are the most wonderful hair accessory ever. (Well, in my opinion) They were used to keep hair in curlers for the day for an evening 'do, or to keep hair from catching in machinery or just as a quick cover-all for those not so great hair days. You can pick them up at local...

    Thank you all! Sorry I just noticed this tonight. Got back from a vacation last night and hadn't slept for two days - so needless to say, I went straight to sleep. Thanks again. And Lauren, I adore the magazine cover. Best present ever.

    QM prep

    Just a point - you're not 'required' to wear a particular era. So don't feel that you have to conform to the 'I must wear 40's' thing. Lots of people are in modern evening & day clothing, as well as other popular era's like the 30's & 50's. That being said, I believe there is one formal...

    QM prep

    Daisy, I think you have enough clothes for 3 QM trips. Everytime I blip onto FL to check new messages, I'm always wondering "oooh, I wonder if Daisy's bought anything else & put up some more yummy pictures!" I can't wait to see what you'll be decked out in this November. :)
