    Female WWII Reenactors?

    snookie, there are MANY different things that you can do without reenacting military. my favorite impression is war worker. and you are in the perfect area too. California had MANY factories. i personally have a small but decent sized display of war worker items and i set up a display and just...

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    i wouldn't wear dance shoes out for regular wear. i bought a pair with the cutest cuban heel. and when i got them, they had a suede sole and it was thin. i could feel every rock and pebble. VERY uncomfortable. and they won't last long outside either. oh and they aren't weather proof. i was...

    Female WWII Reenactors?

    i'm asking this out of pure ignorance.... did the CD have a formal uniform. samantha's hat looks like it's part of a formal uniform. would they wear these hats with civi clothes? how involved were women in the CD?

    ok so this is from the *dreaded* 70's. but...i'm not ashamed to say i like the 70s. i was born in the 70s :) but, i love to crochet. and crocheting was very popular in the 70s. so it's fun to see the history of sorts of crocheting and what was popular. and i found this at our thrift store...

    Here are my guesses on what the basket is for.... most likely, it was made to hang on the wall near a vanity or sit on a vantity and hold maybe a hanky or maybe some small flower buds from your garden? i can tell you about crafters, we come up with things in our head and just make them. so...

    Besame cosmetics

    I read in an above post about their foundations not being for fair people. I have to politely disagree. I'm VERY fair (ie: you can see veins thru my skin on my body, my face is just a tad not as "see thru"). I just bought some foundation about 2 weeks ago in the "bisque" color and it's fine. in...

    FREE 1950's Pink Tiles - 4" wide

    my bathroom is all pink tiles. i'd be interested in them because we are in the process of redoing it. (the stupid prior owners painted over the precious original tiles from when our house was built in 1949). if you can provide pictures and more details, i'd appreciate it.
