They come up on Ebay quite often, there's another one ending today. The company is called Kigu snd they have other ones that are really cute, but way out of my price range. I also love Pygmalion ones. Have you seen the Flying Saucer compacts or the piano ones?
I really wanted this one, but forgot to increase my bid:
And wasn't bidding on these, because they went wayyyy out of my range, but so pretty:

Totally OT, but I have always loved the idea of beekeeping, despite it not being a vegan thing to do. It always seems so peaceful and I'd love to learn about those amazing animals one day.
^Yes, I totally agree! I recently bought Ruby Woo after reading so many raves and being very impressed with Russian Red and the mattene range. It seems too dry to apply properly, like hard work instead of fun, and then comes off unevenly. I still love the colour, but not the consistency. They...
Oh no! I really feel your pain. My grandmother had a glorious Singer Treadle table that I would love to have now, but it has disappeared. It was in my childhood bedroom and then the basement. She passed away when I was 15 and I moved to different countries so much that I couldn't have taken it...
I only wear blush occasionally, but if I do I only wear cream blusher since having discovered Benefit Sheer Cream Blusher. It comes in three colours and I use the coral shade. It blends in perfectly applied with fingertips, and dries to a powder. I bought it for my wedding and the same tube is...
First off, Trashy Diva. Arrived today and I adore them:

Apron hubby got me as a surprise:
Bag I got cheaply. Looks black, but is actually navy with tortoiseshell coloured handles:
Lastly a coat I believe is 1940's, but not sure. It's a bit tight, so I may sell it but it was a...
I used to have Clinique Superblanced in Alabaster, so think we may have similar skintones. I now discovered Estee Lauder Doublewear in Ecru (and in Fresco in the summer) and am completely sold on it. It does not come off even right after application, not on tissues or clothing, but feels light...
The only times I dress down is when I am very ill, when there is a serious snow- or rainstorm and I have to walk the dog in it, or when I am sleeping.
I don't care much if people comment on it because they are insecure, and I don't have that many negative experiences. I would actually say that...
Beautiful items Rue!
I have most of my grandmother's jewellery, mainly pearls and amber, a cardigan from the 60's she wore and one of her fur coats, which I don't wear but treasure.
I also have some family silver cutlery and some mugs my grandparents had, which mean the world to me. Lastly, I...
DPD, we'll be dress twins! I got the same circle Day dress and also the Americana in cool watercolor. Wanted it for a while but it was sold out last time I tried. Hope my order went through, as their website doesn't update quickly enough sometimes.
Great patterns, too.
Can't remember the exact link for the blog entry, but I came across this blog a while back and it has tons of useful tips and some about linings: http://www.blogforbettersewing.com/
My favourite Ebay seller for petticoats (in the UK) is http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Rock-n-Roll-years?_rdc=1
I have a few from there and love them, and she ships really fast.
I also wear them under quilted skirts I have (and am making one at the moment), and don't feel costumey at all, but then I...
