Lauren and I both attended our first reenactments this past weekend as part of a unit. Here are some pictures from mine in Ottawa, IL. Since I was a member of the Red Cross, I was stationed at the base camp for the morning tactical and the pictures are from the afternoon public battle (held in... -

Comcast Swing Music Channel
The Sinatra channel (Frank's Place) is great, too. They play a lot of classic standards, but then a lot of the new guys, like Michael Buble & Harry Connick.- Vanessa

Comcast Swing Music Channel
I always leave the 40's station from XM on DirecTV playing while I'm sewing. I think it's been talked about in other places, but they also broadcast "news" reports of the particular day it is.- Vanessa

What Would You Change (about yourself) for Your Vintage Wear?
I'll join Addi in the shoe reproduction thing. But I heard good news this morning on the radio - apparently, espadrilles & wedges are in this Spring. So everybody stock up when you see a particularly 40's influenced pair.- Vanessa

Engagement Rings
I love fine vintage jewelry. There's a small antique shop nearby where I work that has a jewelry booth and they have the most amazing collection of engagement rings and wedding bands. Just from looking at those (never had the opportunity to buy yet. . .:cry: ), I'm absolutely ruined for ever...- Vanessa

What Would You Change (about yourself) for Your Vintage Wear?
If there was something about yourself that you'd change for when you wear vintage - something like a vintage hair cut, or a more 20's-looking face. . . Personally, I'd chop off about 2" from my feet to fit into all the lovely size 5 & 6 shoes I find on ebay. (I'm rather disgruntled right...- Vanessa

As if we didn't chat about pin curls enough. . .
From my experience, the thicker the amount of hair in each curl, the bigger the curl & the more likely it will be to fall out. It's like using a bigger hot roller. Sometimes when I just want a little body/wave to my hair I'll put up only 5-6 curls. -
The ones that got away
You are a doll. Let me know if there's anything in particular you're looking for - I have an unhealthy amount of patterns piling up in my house.- Vanessa
