~Recreating Hair styles of the 1940s~
I have had very thick naturally curly hair most of my life. About 6 yrs ago I had it straightened. Since it grew out my hair has had less curl than it did when I was younger. Since having my son my hair has thinned some. My hair actully does better with vintage styles than modern. I haven't done... -

Rundown of 30's & 40's Shoes
Thank you Jitterbugdoll. That helps. I was looking at some on ebay today and the measurement in length matched what I would need but the width was about half the size of my foot. I guess that's what comes from wearing sneakers most of your life! LOL- CherryRed

Rundown of 30's & 40's Shoes
I have no vintage shoes. :cry: They are always so small. What is the comparison to shoe sizes now? If I wear and 8 or 8.5 modern what would that be in vintage??- CherryRed

Vanity
Somehow I missed this thread. My Mom just brought me my grandmothers vanity table in June. I am not sure when hers is from but it is pretty simple.

Vintage Knitting!
I have done some knitting but more crocheting because it is simpler. I want to do more knitting because I have stacks of vintage knit booklets from the 1940's and 50's that belonged to my great-grandmother and grandmother. I love them for the photos alone! My Mom has them right now but I plan to...- CherryRed

Every Woman Needs Pearls
I was just going to mention Mikimoto. Also in case it wasn't mentioned the old trick about testing pearls in your mouth is true. You don't actually have to bit them but just rub them gently against your teeth. They will feel abrasive where a fake will feel smooth. A good trick for fleamarket...- CherryRed

Every Woman Needs Pearls
Thank you for defining that. I guess I should have been more specific in what it meant. I agree with you on the small pearls. I like them best too. :)- CherryRed

Every Woman Needs Pearls
I used to work for a jeweler. Everything that was said are good things to look for. Also keep in mind if you find an older necklace it it happens to not be knotted between the pearls you can always take it to a jeweler and have it restrung. And speaking of restinging it is important to keep in...- CherryRed
