    the leopard can never change its spots

    Fabric Resources I've been planning on making myself a little faux fur muff after the holidays. Leopard has been the print most on my mind. With that, here are some links to shops that carry faux fur by the yard for FL seamstresses. I'm really liking the "Jane" fabric from this shop...

    Saddle shoes

    I've been dying to get a pair of saddle shoes from Muffy's and finally have the money to do so. I have one odd fear - that the white of the shoes is *too* white. Am I crazy for having this concern? I've been lusting after the green saddles for a while, but this "too white" fear is making me...

    Ice Cream Social, Ideas?

    Hello all, I'm going to be hosting an ice cream social next month. I'm looking for ideas on what to serve with the ice cream, decor and games/entertainment. I did a search both on Google and the FL forums but came up with little to no info. I know ice cream socials were big in the 1900s and...

    Cold Cream- Brands and advice!

    Has anyone tried the "lighter" cucumber Pond's cold cream? I am finally going to take the cold cream plunge. I have combination/oily skin, so I am definitely going to follow with a toner after I wash off the cream.* In perusing the CVS options I've noticed Ponds has their classic cold cream and...

    Lot of Radio & TV tubes found on Craigslist

    For those in IL I thought you would like to see this craigslist listing for 130 radio tubes, still in the salesman's case and some still in boxes. If I was a handy person I would snatch this up, but I thought it would be helpful for FLers with antique radios. (I'm not the seller in this case...

    Remix Shoes!!

    I just got the Picasso wedge in red and absolutely love them. They super comfy and I've been getting compliments on them all day. The red is a little darker than I thought it would be, but I don't mind. I ended up getting them through Amazon; while the price is the same as the Remix site, it...

    The White Stripe: a hair dilemma

    I would suggest getting a streak of white extensions. I've seen this done as "hidden color" and it looks great. A woman I know has purple streaks and uses extensions with keratin tips, which is suppose to be healthier for your hair.

    I have this model of Crosley Reproduction Radios and absolutely love it. It has jacks on the back that allow you to plug in your iPod and the sound quality is fabulous. I would highly suggest it.

    Umbrellas & Parasols!

    Target Umbrella Hey ladies, Target has a great retro-inspired umbrella right now from their Hayden-Harnett line. The pattern reminds me of what I find in my 1940s Sear catalogs and its pagoda style to boot! I picked-one up and absolutely adore it. link...

    Remix Shoes!!

    Have you ladies seen this new shoe from Remix? I'm quite interested in it, but would love to see if any one already owns them and can give me their opinion. I'm a little turned off by their heel height (2 5/7") for an everyday shoe, but if they are counting the platform, it is really only a...

    Remix Shoes!!

    With Remix the only way to order is through the phone. I have heard this complaint about not shipping an order from a retail store owner, I was surprised.

    Cointreau & Dita

    Oh, I have been looking for a place that sells Creme de Violette so I could mix-up a Blue Moon, but I haven't found anything yet. I did find *one* online shop, but because they were in CA, they weren't allowed to ship to me (in IL). Boo.

    Stationery!

    I absolutely adore writing letters to the point where my friend and I made a letter writing alliance to keep the art alive! (I know, we're nerds.) Anyway, I adore writing on vintage stationery and have had some wonderful luck finding dead stock paper goods at resale markets and Ebay. In fact, I...

    Cointreau & Dita

    Well, I finally got around to tasting it, and may I say...it was awful. No offense to those who find it tasty, but my friend and I found the violet flavoring overwhelming, which made the entire drink taste like a fancy soap. Le sigh.

    What the heck does Jughead wear?

    Actually, that link has a pretty darn good explanation as to how the trend started and evolved. Thanks. Ben - this sounds like a really interesting book. Is this the one you are talking about?
