I just realized that I haven't properly introduced myself!
My name is Jonni (it's pronounced JoHnny) and I am so pleased to have found the Fedora Lounge! I have had an affinity for the Golden Era for a long time now (after spending time obsessed with the Victorian/Edwardian eras) and it's so...
I just starting using the translucent-extra coverage a few months ago (upon the recommendations here at the FL!) and frequently wear it as my foundation (after covering up a few red spots with Bare Minerals) and I haven't found it heavy at all. It evens out my skin tone and I actually forget...
Beautiful hat!!! And it goes very well with the Nataya dress you're wearing in the picture. Excellent purchase!
I love little hat shops, it's like I've discovered treasure when I find one. There were quite a few back in California.....not having much luck finding any in Florida. :(
Another site with most of the same dresses, and often better prices, is

I've bought 2 or 3 Nataya dresses from here and love them. In fact, the dress I'm wearing in my avatar is one of them.

Vintage Jess - beautiful wedding picture! I love your suit and pillbox hat. <sigh> I'm a sucker for weddings!
I wore gloves to my brother's wedding (along with the cutest little 20's inspired dress, I still love it) and 18 years later my sister in law still mentions how cool she thought that...
Quite frankly, the mister and I are both shower people so my answer is definitely going to be biased but I wouldn't rent a house that didn't have at least one shower.
The house we just moved from in California had a shower stall in the master bath and a clawfoot tub in the hall bath with a...
I know this is going to be a stupid newbie question but how do you keep the loose powder from spilling out whenever you open it?
Jonni (who, alas, has no compacts to show.....must go to Ebay to take care of that little problem!)
Excellent, fantastic, wonderful!!
Where can those of us who are too shy to attend the QM event expect to see an issue on the newstands?
Jonni (who wonders if her very un-vintage/classic area of Florida will even carry such a magazine, it might threaten the flip-flop wearing tourists.) ;)
I frequently wear hats when I'm out and about....in fact I wore one just yesterday when I took my mother out to tea. I have a nice little collection of straw cloches that look good whether I'm going casual or dressy.
While I've always heard the rule is that women can leave their hats on...
Thanks for sharing the pictures of the dresses! I have 2 sewing machines at home and no idea how to use them, so I'm a wee bit envious of your lovely creations.
Lizzie, please do share more pictures of your house, it looks fabulous!
She was so beautiful.
My heart goes out to you both, it's a terrible thing to lose someone you love. Dogs are such chums, and they add so much fun to our lives.

Thanks for posting the link! I just moved to a house with a pool and I was thinking the other day that I really needed a swimming cap because I'm tired of getting my hair wet each day, especially if I've just set it.
It's funny, my mother made me wear a swimming cap when I was a little kid...
I'm new here so please forgive me for being ignorant, but what is the QM event? I just moved to Florida from California and already miss my beloved Queen Mary so I'd love to hear all about it!

What a great thread for me to make my debut!
I am the proud owner of my mother's "Woman's Home Companion Cook Book" from 1942. It was given to my mom as a wedding present and she swears she used it a lot but it certainly doesn't look it.
