    Vintage Sleepwear

    Every now and then, i will get a pair of polyester PJs for a gift, so pretty, but can't sleep in them.I always end up tossing and turning and tugging for about half an hour, and then rip them off and end up stumbling around in the dark looking for something cottonlol

    The ones that got away

    I have been waiting for the auction to be over to post this personal heartbreaker.I didn't even bid on this because i would have had to drive halfway accross the country to pick it up, and i just got a brand new(modern) stove less than 2 months ago, so absolutely no justification, but coulda had...
