Show us your hair do's....
Huzzah!!! My first try! This here is my first try at curls! I used sponge curlers because I just don't get how to do pin curls. I really like how the back turned out...but I totally ruined the front. It was really really frizzy and tight, so I took a wet brush (I only used styling cream to... -

hm....you could be right. there actually is a Russian flag on the bracelet. but, pre-revolutionary. that's odd, though. that they would sell something to commemorate the Great War...thirty some years later?- zaika

I just did an online appraisal of this bracelet...while it wasn't as thorough as I had hoped in regards to the history...it was still neat to get an idea of where it might have come from. Here's what the appraiser had to say (although it looks like she had a monkey writing this...sloppy...- zaika

Budgets
Ladies, I'm spending A LOT already on clothes and such. I want to start budgeting, and am curious how (or if) you budget for your vintage lifestyle. I'm hoping that I can refrain from just buying a bunch of stuff, and instead actually shopping and comparing prices...and making my own. It's just...- zaika

Historic Portland, Ore.
those are beautiful pictures...thank you for sharing. i grew up in bend (talk about backwater...LOL), but portland has been my home for ten years. it's so sad to see these magnificent buildings and know that ugly parking lots now sit on that land. i'm looking at one right now from my office...- zaika

Plus Size Vintage
Bonnie Jean-the plus sized clothes i find are always the tiniest bit too small. frustrating! i've resigned myself to the fact that i will always be on the lookout and i just won't have a lot. i guess that's more authentic? LOL. Viviene-i tried clicking your avatar and i get a message saying...- zaika

Lady Day - Thank you for the links. Your wardrobe is TO DIE FOR. LOL. Seriously, I love your clothes. I am definitely determined to learn how to sew! Vivine-I'm stumped as to why your plus sized dresses don't sell...I just bought a vintage dress through Dandelion...but, there wasn't much...- zaika

Great! Thank you. :) No...there aren't any marks or names on it, unfortunately. Which makes me wonder whether or not this thing was mass produced. If it was a special thing...there would be a mark, or something, yes? Either way...it's quite dear.- zaika
