    What Home Improvement Project did you start only to hate it?

    Yes Scott wins hands down. I would have given up I would have been so overwhelmed! :eek: Thanks Mary. I will be definately going to Lowes for stain once all the sanding is done. That is going to be my favorite part! The good thing about the green stain is that it didn't seep too far...

    Vintage clothing: when is enough, enough?

    Foo, I love your post. The story about the elderly lady letting you into her store and the one of your mother are very touching. It is definately a comfort thing for me. My mother was a minimalist and I remember going to my grandmothers who had a ton of old stuff. I used to love to look at...

    What Home Improvement Project did you start only to hate it?

    LOL Paisley, I am laughing at your first post because it sounds like something I would do!! lol An area rug won't cover it because what they did was put an area rug in there and then use the green stain around that. So what I have is beatiful wood where the rug would go and green stain...

    Show us your vintage buttons

    I know there are quite a few ladies here who collect buttons. I have a small collection and sometimes I just like to stare at them and picture what I could put them on. Anyhow, I need one of them for a dress so I took some out and photographed some of my favorites. Do any of you have any...

    The Single & Ridiculously Good-Lookin' Room

    That to me is half the fun too. I am not talking wooing with material things either. It can be a simple gesture such as opening the car door, picking me flowers, etc. I too like to woo and love to impress them with my cooking skills that go unapprecated here. :rolleyes:. The most fun part...

    What Home Improvement Project did you start only to hate it?

    Doh, one of my goals this summer was to get rid of the wall to wall carpeting on my 1st floor and expose the hard wood. The house is 107 years old and I peeked under the carpeting to see the most gorgeous wood I have ever seen. It is a wide pine with the most incredible markings on it and I...

    Sewing Lessons & FAQ

    I agree Pink and I am actually doing the same exact thing. I did it this weekend with a blouse and found it so relaxing and hand sewing puts me in a meditative state I can't describe with words. I have quite a lot more to do, but find that I procrastinate even though I enjoy it. I like...

    The Single & Ridiculously Good-Lookin' Room

    I have dated but don't like it. IMO it's too much hard work and I hate the awkwardness of the first couple of dates and I don't wish to deal with that on top of work, home, kids, etc. All of my attached friends can't understand why I enjoy being single. I tell them I am comfortable enough...

    Vintage clothing: when is enough, enough?

    I was reading this thread earlier and laughing to myself because I can identify with a lot of it. I have accumulated a ton of vintage clothes that I am going to sort through and put on consignment. I don't have enough room for the new stuff I am buying so it's time for some of it to go. I was...

    Mary, you have the best luck with your finds. Those are all incredible. Mojito, that dress is simply stunning! I love the detail in it. Pink, great finds as usual. You have a knack for taking modern clothes and making them look vintage with your accessories and cute hairdo's and I need...

    Show us your hair do's....

    Okay, I did a test run with the soft rollers that snap together and I absolutely love the curl much better than I did with the sponge rollers. The only thing that I don't like is the frizz at the ends. It looks as if I am going to have to buy those papers for the ends. Are those hard to use??

    The Single & Ridiculously Good-Lookin' Room

    LOL Story! That liquid potion had scared me since I saw a movie that I don't remember the name of. It was about this woman who was left an orphan and fell in love with some rich guy. The rich guy loved her back but she felt like a failure for some reason and up and left him because she didn't...

    Fashions of the 1940's-Video Link

    Yes I remember that when I took sewing! It's funny because all of the stuff I learned in sewing about hand sewing is still etched in my mind and I never lost it, but sewing with a machine is far out of my memory. :rolleyes: I am going to start lurking in the sewing thread here and may ask...

    LOL Pink, I hear you. I like plain, fussy, pink, red, black, it doesn't matter. I love it all. :D You would look adorable in that pink dress though. :offtopic: I really need to learn how to use the sewing machine I bought at the yard sale. I would love to learn how to sew pretty...
