Hollywood Collection Vintage Jewelry Reproductions
Thanks, it seems I'm not a very good web searcher. The Newbridge offer is about 60% more expensive than the other one, I wonder why since it seems to be the same ring (at least the stones seem to have the same ratio / number difference). Even considering the shipping, it'd be probably cheaper...- wahine

Besides English, What Languages Do You Speak?
Why do you want to do that? I always hate it when people tell me I have an accent. But then, I AM German, that's probably the difference. Besides German and English, I speak enough French and Spanish to get along (like go shopping, rent an appartment, tell people to buzz off), but not enough...- wahine

Hollywood Collection Vintage Jewelry Reproductions
Thanks to C-Dot for pushing this up (and to CherryRed for posting in the first place)! I was looking for Marilyn's engagement ring for a long time but couldn't find it. They have it, it looks pretty good on the website and it's affordable! It does look nice but I think it differs a bit...- wahine

Show us your vintage knitting and crochet!
I made my first vintage crochet piece: this beanie I think it didn't come out so bad, considering that I never made a cap, didn't have the required yarn or hook size and therefore had to experiment a bit (Let's say I'm much better now... at unraveling :cool:) Although I think it's...- wahine

body changes -> garment alteration?
I must admit that I haven't even asked my doctor, I'm so silly. :o Guess it's a good idea to do that. The idea to alter just one outfit also appeals. Good thing is, many of my modern clothes also don't fit anymore, that's a chance of getting rid of some more pieces. For example, I might take...- wahine

body changes -> garment alteration?
Welcome to the forum, Fraeulein von C! (nice nick, I always regretted that we gave up the "Fräulein") I can't say that the loss was welcome. Neither can I say that I despise it. Don't really care if I stay that way or get back to my old standard (I know I must sound like an alien, not...- wahine

Show us your vintage knitting and crochet!
Thanks a lot for your answer, Babydoll! Last night, I started a piece that requires a "no. 7". Since I didn't have a 4,5 mm, I tried it with a 4 mm (steel) hook. It seemed to work out pretty well, but of course I won't really know until I finish a piece. If I manage, I'll try to post a pic :)- wahine

Thanks to you forum ladies, I started knitting. I was having a hard time at the very beginning, but I'm getting into the flow more and more... A question about crocheting: I'd like to try one of those free patterns on http://www.freevintagecrochet.com/hat-pattern/star117/blue-bandeau They...- wahine

The pixies come at night...
Ahh, it's contagious! Before I read about "losing" seam rippers on the lounge, I had only one which I always found. Now, it's gone! And if I really think about it... I also don't know where the other one is that I got because I couldn't find the first one. Well, it just might have to do...- wahine

body changes -> garment alteration?
I see what you mean. Generally, I think the same way, I never kept stuff that didn't fit anymore. (But then, it was stuff from the 90s ;) ) I'm so insecure because I hadn't any weight changes in ages. And 90% of my vintage wardrobe is "new"; meaning, I got it withing the last 18 months or so...- wahine

They arrived yesterday and they don't fit! I think I'll just give up getting shoes online, this happened the fourth or fifth time to me now. Miss Golightly, your recent purchases are magnificent as usual (I love your taste!). Esp. the dressing table pieces are wonderful and they look as in...- wahine

The pixies come at night...
I started hording products that I really like. Luckily, I just moved into a bigger apartment ;) Why is it that my hair always looks best when I just fumble around a bit, just before going to bed, nobody seeing me? Whenever I try to get the same look on a going out occasion, it looks blah! :p- wahine

body changes -> garment alteration?
Hi ladies, I'd like your opinions / advice. For the first time in, let's say, 10 years my body weight changed in a noticeable way. I really started off with my vintage wardrobe only about a year or maybe 1,5 yrs. One reason of getting serious about it now was I was thinking I wouldn't...- wahine

Actually, it never happened to me before. The pair with the cork heel I found at the bay after I already got the other one. Crossing my fingers that they fit, too!- wahine

LinaSofia, that dress is gorgeous! Maybe you can post a wedding pic showing you wearing it? I was looking for some comfy white summer shoes virtually forever. Funny enough, now I found two pairs in two days: Well, I guess it won't hurt to have a spare... (Now, I only need some summer to...- wahine

I think it was a bargain, it was 1 €. It's really hard to get reasonable prices at the bay these days, that's why I'm soo happy about having moved back to a city that has flea markets. yay! Signs indeed point to me learning how to knit; I just got all my grandma's knitting stuff. ;) If...- wahine
