VargasGirl,
Do you know any one who would be interested? None of my friends understand my obsession with all things vintage! I don't have a ton of free time as it stands, anyway, but it'd still be fun!
I've seen a couple ads for Shampoo tints and the like - found here
http://scriptorium.lib.duke.edu/adaccess/browse.html
Namely, these:
This was for La Creole Hair Dressing Treatment - not a dye, but used to bring back vibrancy to greying hair...I think this was dated 1920-ish
This...
I am fine with being addressed by my first name, as long as the situation warrants it. When I assisted a 2nd grade teacher, she insisted the children call me Miss Hunter, and I loved it. Hardly any one I speak with regarding work (customers, vendors, etc) use formal titles for any one, even the...
I'm a little late in coming to this thread, but just thought I'd add mine. Not that it's anything special or anything. It's my "business" website; that is, I started out a few years back doing wedding photography. I grew tired of it - not the art of photography, just the constant going on...
Changing my original post to reflect a better deal! Target is offering a Singer 30-Stitch Function Sewing Machine on sale for $65 the day after Thanksgiving...not sure how many people go shopping then, but it might be worth it to take a look! I found this on www.blackfriday.gottadeal.com in case...
Not sure that's what they are really called, but at any rate I found this great tutorial on how to create them, complete with pictures! I hope this will help some of us newbies out!!
I thought my family was the only ones who did this! Every Christmas Eve, my Grandmother gathers the smaller children to carry the Baby Jesus to the Nativity scene, complete with a small Hostess (only the best for Jesus!) cupcake and candle. My cousin who has the voice of an angel will sing and I...
I normally don't shop at Fashion Bug, simply because I never think about it! Last night I stopped in to pick up a cute sweater and was having a look around and they carry a line called "Studio 1940" which has some really cute looking outfits! And seeing as it's Fashion Bug, they also have normal...
It seems like all we ever go to are family parties...our company has a party, but we don't really enjoy it. Too much drinking (I'm no prude and I enjoy a good vodka & cranberry juice every now and then but this is just too excessive) and I've been groped one too many times by co-workers.
My...
If you look at The Diva Pinup they have some good examples of styles using flowers in all shapes and sizes...that might at least give you some ideas!
Hope you have a great time - sounds like a blast!
I know you asked for books...
...but there is also a website - www.plan59.com - that features a bunch of ads and images from the 50's. I think they also have prints you can buy...
From one redhead to another...
...good luck!!! I really need to play some more...maybe I'll swing by the store on my lunch hour and see if I can find anything fun :)

My hubby dresses well but isn't into vintage clothing. He never wears jeans, always khaki's and nice sweaters and button-down shirts from stores like Nautica and Eddie Bauer. Trying to get him to wear jeans is like pulling teeth, although sometimes he will if he'll be working in the yard...
When I was about 13, my mom finally started realizing how much I hated it. She would make me pick two or three gifts from under our tree to be saved as birthday presents. Gradually she stopped doing that - boy was I ever grateful!
I also had to share my birthday parties with a lot of my...
Actually I put them both on my list just incase my mom wanted to spend a little extra on me this year. I'm not expecting either of them, but I'd be happy with just the blue one since I have no clue what I'm doing (if there is a level below beginner, that's where I'm at)! The reviews were...
This site has a lot of interesting tips and patterns to try out in the tutorials section - it might be a good place to start! There is a circle skirt pattern as well as a pencil skirt pattern.
