Storage and care...
Next week begins the Great Closet reorganization 2010. I move in with my honey and have to compress at least 10 years of living in my own house with all the closets to myself - to now sharing (and hopefully not overwhelming) the fella). I am reading back thru all these great ideas and will...- The Shirt

Vintage Weddings
Miss Jay- I'm going to have to pick your brain. That is very very similar to a pattern I am looking at for my dress. Getting married in Nov. I love the birdcage veil effect - there are so many pretty ones on Etsy right now.- The Shirt

Show us your vintage-vintage inspired Engagement Ring!
Finally happened I couldn't be more excited. Unfortunately my camera isn't the best anymore. We found this 1910 (or so) ring at a lovely little antique store in Stillwater, MN. I could barely walk out of the place without tears - I loved it so. Waiting for a couple of more months nearly...- The Shirt

Collections, relatives, & things you wish you knew
My grandmother had hundreds upon hundreds of salt and pepper shakers. She was just a simple farmer's wife who never travelled beyond 100 miles of her home I imagine. However with 11 sons and daughters, many of whom served in various wars and travelled all over, she amassed such an amazing...- The Shirt

Welcome To The No Spender Bender
OK - I didn't stick to it completely this weekend - but proud to say I only went over by $7 in non-essential stuff at Ikea. The only thing I have spent on retail this entire month was some roller blinds from Ikea that needed to be replaced for the house sale. Woohoo. I actually cannot...- The Shirt

What happened to admiration?
I know that my fella works a blue collar job, saves his pennies and doesn't lead an extravagent lifestyle. That being said he worked for years to save to buy a beat up old 66 impala. He poured every extra sent into his labor of love for years. It is beautiful now, his baby. One night at a...- The Shirt

Welcome To The No Spender Bender
Attics and basements - the stuff of dreams. I found my fathers original 1950s turquoise blue alarm clock in a box in the basement last weekend. Yippee. And a pile of vintage dresses I had forgotten about. And a coat. Geez - I can totally get thru this month without spending.- The Shirt

Where are the pleated skirts hiding?!
Have you tried "school girl" or "Co-ed" searches? Also what about trying a uniform store. I remember that my high school uniform was a pleated skirt in grey. Perhaps a place like that might have a catalog of styles.- The Shirt

Nutrition and exercise!
I'm right there with you all as well. I keep going up and down the same 10 lbs. I really would like to feel motivated as I know that the pending engagement is going to make me feel like I have to do something quick to drop a lot of weight. Nothing would be better than if I could fit into the... -

Welcome To The No Spender Bender
Kamikat and Inky - UGHHH for you. I totally know how it feels. I ended up with a $1500 vet bill last month. For a tooth abcess. In my next life I'm going to be a dog dentist cause I'm sure then I wouldn't have these last minute surprise bills to worry about since I'd be rolling in the dough...- The Shirt

Welcome To The No Spender Bender
A little trick that I do when I start something off like this is to clean up the area of said items. For example - I cleaned out my closets last week - I found a few items I had totally forgotten about and will work back into rotation. This makes me feel like I have something new and gives me...- The Shirt

Vintage-Inspired clothing lines
Just stalk their sales online. Usually the dresses move thru onto the sale page in a couple of months of posting. I never buy full retail there but have gotten some deals on the sale pages. Have you checked out ModCloth? I seem to recall them having some similar styles lately.- The Shirt
