    Show us your most precious vintage item .

    Oh, Shelly, how cool! I can understand why you would be so proud. You family must have some amazing stories to tell! I have to admit, I lost my most precious vintage items :( Somehow in all the moving I have done in the past few years, I have lost the hand embroidered hankie that my...

    Powder Room input

    I would like more categories. Yes, there are existing forums for "Hats" and "Suits" but I don't really feel comfortable intruding into the men's atmoshphere there. If I wanted to start a thread of ladies' suits, I would do it in the "Powder Room" currently, not in the general "Suits" forum...

    Makeup Ad from the 40's! Check out the eyebrows!

    This may sound totally strange, but to get a bit of an arch when you brows are straight, raise one eyebrow. You know, that quizzical look with just one eyebrow up. I wasn’t able to raise my eyebrows individually, so I decided I would just teach myself. After about 3 months of practice, I...

    How old is everyone?

    I will be 30 in August. ::sigh:: 'Tis a benchmark that I use to measure my sucess. I thought I would have accomplished so much by this age. At 18 when graduating from high school, 30 seemed forever away. Now that it's here, I didn't have nearly enough time!

    To wax or not to wax ????

    Yeah, it does to me too. I am torn, because I like that waxing makes the hair finer and damages the folicle so it grows in less. However, the ingrowns are unpleasant and my legs look yucky from the little dots all over where I pick them out. [huh]

    My new print.

    Wow, LD, I had no idea that the lino was destroyed in the process. I can't imgaine what it must be like to see it slowly disapear and know that it won't ever exist again. I'm not so brave! You are just amazing. I know we are all gushing, but WOW. I feel cooler just because I know you :)...

    High Waisted Pants & Jeans!

    I love the blue ones, LD. I would love a pair, actually, and have thought about buying the pattern. But I don't think they come up as high, do they? The jeans looked like they would have come right up to the bust, but the pants with suspenders look like they would end a couple inches below...

    Shoe storage...help, please!

    I used to use the ones that hung in the closet. Much like the over-the-door organizer, but it hung in the closet. Doesn't take up much room if you have it to spare. Huh, hadn't seen this style before Link Second style But the ones I used to have were just like the ones that hung over the...

    Smoke-easies

    My dad worked for the American Legion part time after retiring from the Army. When New York banned smoking in all bars and restaurants, the Legion saw a SHARP decline in their patronage. NY does have a relief valve in place, so if you can prove that your profits have decline by x%, then you...

    Something non-vintage cute to share

    What a thoughtful little guy! And Happy Birthday (early!) I can understand why this would create a "proud mommy" moment! You must be doing one heck of a job raising him! This story reminds me of why I want one (child) *pokes tummy* Really, any time now!

    I am so excited! I just got an entire bolt of black and white herringbone from Walmart for $1.00 a yard! I got about 12 yards for $12! I really wanted to buy the black poly/rayon crepe bolt for $1.00/yard as well. But, since I don't have projects for them at the moment, I don't think the...

    High Waisted Pants & Jeans!

    They are a tad bit high in the waist. I don't want them all the way up to my bust :eek:

    Modern wedding gowns

    Hush, now! Just think, in another 30 years, your look will be considered "vintage" and there will be pictures of you that other girls will be admiring! I am sure you were beautiful. Your husband thought you were, and that is the most important thing! How wonderful that you have been...

    Modern Movie Stars

    I agree with Charlize Theron and Julia Roberts. I think Ashley Judd is a facinating woman, and is a star to me. I also think Christopher Walken plays interesting rolls, and his unique charisma makes him a star. Morgan Freeman is really neat, but I am not sure he is a star by the...

    Your signature cocktail.

    I don't drink often, so I am pretty ignorant about liquors and all the different drinks. On rare occasion I have a gimlet made with Bombay Sapphire. More frequently, I enjoy Rieslings made in the Rhine River Valley. They remind me of the wonderful summers I spent there with my parents...
