    Show us what you have Crafted!

    And they were well used and cherished on the honeymoon, I assure you! The most precious of the gifts I got, because you made them yourself :)

    Estate sale?

    That was great, Joie de Vive! I just roll out of bed and throw on jeans and a t shirt and sneakers, usually. Estate sales are not an occasion to get dolled up. lol

    I was just wondering what happened to this thread the other day! This is one of my favorites, with how creative people are :)

    What is a Lady?

    I think a lady dresses with enough modesty that she doesn't seem to be prying for attentions. She shouldn't swear. She should be kind and loving to anyone she meets and not condescending or catty. She should never appear intoxicated. She shouldn't be extremely loud or overcome conversations...

    Estate sale?

    Exactly the way I feel! In fact, part of what makes old stuff so cool to me is the past lives- people who have had it and the times they have seen. Perhaps it's the romantic in me. I actually have gone to estate sales which are run by families as well- and it was sad to see them part with...

    How to get rid of silverfish?

    I was just going to put away my wedding dress and veil in the victorian trunk I use for storing family treasures and I opened the lid to find a small bowl with several silverfish in it- and still alive! I moved another thing and found another. How do I get rid of them? Should I wash all the...

    Getting by during the Great Depression

    I'm amazed at that. And all of them are (or were) such amazing people. My mom's side of the family came from England, to Canada, then down into Los Angeles. They didn't have much money either (well, no one did) but always got by. My great grandfather was a watch repairman. For fun they...

    would you live back in time?

    Miss Crisplock- I am sorry if I did offend you, I was also offended. I did not mean to make you believe my post was directed at you, and I'm sorry if you believe it was. I was just trying to explain how this is getting off track and all the posts between people with misunderstandings are...

    would you live back in time?

    I think you missed my point. My point is that things happen in history. There is nothing we can do to change the fact that these events happened in the past. The point of this thread was not to criticize each others views on the past, but to say, with what you know, would you choose to live...

    would you live back in time?

    If I'm not mistaken, around the time of the gold rush in California it was normal, too.

    would you live back in time?

    Well, if that's the truth I'd go back tomorrow ;) or maybe after Sunday... Thanks again!

    would you live back in time?

    I don't think you're the bad guy at all! I think Denise's comment wasn't saying that she was right or you were right, or anyone else who joined in that conversation was right- but that all sides have their reasoning for what they believe and that should all be ok because it's a matter of...

    would you live back in time?

    Totally agree. The point is to state our preference. Big things happened back then. Fact. Some things really sucked. Fact. Things are different than now. Fact. The question is, would you choose to go back knowing these things? Obviously not everyone will agree...

    wow! Thanks, gals! I'll be sure to take pictures when I get it :) I'm getting it shipped ahead to my to-be-mother-in-law's house so I'll have it for when we get to New York. Yay! :) Miss.Monroe, it was on ebay. The seller id is julypoppy. She has some great stuff and is super nice, but the...

    How do you do it?

    I just realized I've been collecting vintage for 14 years this year! That's insane! I don't wear it as everyday wear. I like period styling a lot, but it doesn't work into my daily wardrobe for a number of reasons. I like to dress up and go out, but it happens rarely. Most of my vintage are...

    I've been a bad girl... I haven't spent a decent amount on a vintage outfit in quite a while, but today I splurged for my honeymoon. A late 30's suit- SUPER rare, and I'm so thrilled!
