Show us your vintage hats!
I'd say that the most unusual thing about it is that it's SURVIVED! There were many straw hats like that and they were very popular, but they didn't often make it to present day because they straw would crack when stored improperly. It's just lovely! And I'd say with the different types of...- Lauren

Do you wear curlers in front of your Significant Other?
I rarely ever curl my hair, but when I do they're out in all their glory. He doesn't seem to mind it. If you're self conscious I second the scarf idea- can look pretty darn cute, actually!- Lauren

Sewing Lessons & FAQ
Miss Amelina, For that blouse I'd probably use a cotton lawn or batiste in a solid color. If you want to jazz it up you could always add contrast trim or piping. Both batiste and lawn are semi sheer so you'll need to wear a cami under them, but they are both authentic for vintage. I ditto...- Lauren

The value of Lady's friendship
I have a few girlfriends who have been there through thick and thin. They're always there to listen, to scold me when I need it (but in a loving way), and to help encourage and just have fun with. Although some of us have different perspectives on what may be going on in the world or different...- Lauren

How long before fur coats fall to pieces?
In my experience it's the thread that holds the pelts together that starts falling apart first. Depending on the way it's stored, the pelts will also dry out. When the hide is no longer pliable it gets kind of "crispy" and will break when bent. If you're using it for a plot make sure the...- Lauren
