    Are you ever tired of explaining why you live or dress the way you do?

    I used to get the questions on casual Friday too, now I just pay my dollar to charity every Friday, regardless of what I am wearing. that mostly keeps them quiet. the crazy thing is, my workplace does casual summer . So from July 1st -September 1st, we can wear jeans everyday. Who the heck...

    Is your significant other fond of the Golden Era?

    My husband is interested in History, and is always up for watching period films, etc but never really dressed vintage.. although in the past couple years he has accumulated a fine collection of vintage Hawaiian shirts :) He is also very supportive of my interest in it and will buy me...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I think that sounds lovely :) I usually get asked why I am so dressed up. Funny thing is, I normally only get that from other women. I have this great little straw handbag that I use a lot in the summer. It has little bamboo handles that I can hold with my hand, or drape over my wrist...

    Never on Sunday

    ...and I know this is a wee bit of a bunny trail.... But speaking of shopping & holidays... I wish we could go back to groceries stores selling groceries. I am so fed up with these superstores that have to have their finger in every pie. Last night I went out after dinner to my neighbourhood...

    Never on Sunday

    I was still working in retail when Sunday shopping began around here. It was difficult because I was the store manager, so I felt I couldn't really expect my staff to come in on Sundays if I wasn't willing to work the odd shift as well. But I went kicking and screaming. I knew I would hate it...

    Back to the Bones: Restoring 50's Homes.

    cool, I would have taken the place for the pink bathroom, too. When I was looking for apartments 2 years ago, I saw an ad for one with pink tiles in the bathroom, plus original pink sink and tub. Alas, it was only a 1 bedroom, so I would have had to kick my son out.( mind you, he'd probably...

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    These look amazing! For years I worked in retail, on my feet in bad shoes, for hours everyday. And would go home at night, barely able to walk. Then, I was shopping on my lunch break one day, and tried on a pair of aerosoles that were very similar to these..It changed my life, and I have never...

    Loungers' Pets

    so sorry to hear this John. The pain you are going though is very real and very deep. Just about a year ago, we had to put down our Yellow lab Who had been part of our family for 14 years. Every single day , when I walk down the street toward home , I expect to see him. Not much in life is...

    What Are You Reading

    Starting Diana Galbaldon's OUTLANDER series..again. Every time she publishes a new volume, I start from the begnning. Except when the last one, AN ECHO IN THE BONE came out. I had so much going on in my life at the time, I wasn't making the time to read anything really. A friend gave me ECHO N...

    I took my Mother to the Doctor's this morning...

    This must be why they insist on having the heat jacked up on the bus. I climb on the bus every morning in my knee length down parka, bean boots, toque,scarf, mitts and longjohns..and immediately have to start peeling off layers as soon as I sit down. The heat is on so high, I have actually...

    Golden Era Passtimes / Hobbies

    A young cousin of mine is currently in college , studying to be a mortician. The irony is that his Grandmother has a reputation in the family for being one who takes a peculiar "delight" in funerals. She will attend funerals of people that she really only has a passing acquaintance with, and...
