Snood Making
Hmmmm, now thats a thought, even I can crochet a little bit. Might be fun to crochet and add sequins and beads. Knitting does not work so well for me...after a couple of rows the thread is so tight I need the jaws of life to pry it off the needle. :mad: Crocheting is much more...
I made a quick trip to my fav thrift store today, between storms. I found this cute little drawstring black satin purse. I thought it was a newer item until I took a closer look. It has never been used as the drawstrings were basted to the body, I guess to prevent tangles???? I took notice of...
Death Rollers
I would add to the list of rollers to avoid, the wire rollers with the bristle brush thingy inside. I used these years ago and almost had to cut them out of my hair. They tangle no matter how you roll or unroll them. The movement of your head causes them to tangle and if you could...
Cold Cream
I purchased expensive department store products for skin care and found none of them were worth the money. In fact one line I tried that cost 100.00 for the 3 items caused my face to blister and swell up overnight and my eyes were tiny little peeps.:eek: I took it back and got a...
Drooool
LD, beautiful find. If I had a need to wear stockings (which is rare!)I would always wear vintage and mostly seamed. Nothing so subtle and sexy as seamed nylons. Love the boxes too. Dandy
Box Purse
I know what you mean about cost on some of the box purses. I did a quick search and found these 2 on Etsy. White patent looks very 50's, but the dark brown one is tooooo cute. I almost want to buy it myself. ;)

Lily who?
uh...I'm sure I saw a nose print on that big ole glass window :eek:
Barefoot is beautiful, at least until the snow falls. I would love to go clomping in with my jeans and cowboy boots (poop scraped off tho) they would have a neck hook and throw me out the door before I made it to...
I found the same info, the VFG is a great resource for research. Between VFG and Fedora I have learned a great deal in a short time. I love the 20's to 50's style but that seems to be more elusive than the 60's clothing. The search goes on......Thanks Ladies!
40's Dress
Thanks to all for the help. I thought the dress was 40's but don't like to guess when listing something for auction. The pinking shears tip was also a help for me. I actually have a pair that cuts in scallops....very cute. Bought them over 30 years ago when I was still doing a bit of...
I cover every inch of the thrift store when I go shopping. It takes me hours but what fun and I've found some beautiful vintage pieces in the regular stuff. A black velvet Victorian turn of the century cape cloak in beautiful condition stuffed in with the current trendy coats! for a whopping...
Help Please
I found this lovely dress at my local thrift store, not in the small vintage area but with the current?? dresses. The fabric is a dark toast brown and has a soft sheen like rayon, the bottom pleated skirt has a black stiff net underskirt. The bodice has a fabric liner. I can find...
Enjay, I think I finally figured out how to answer a specific post....Aaacckkkk
I have no scars but had many, many bumps and falls:o I answered your question but put it in a reply so it showed up down the road, I have now figured out the "quote" system. Slow but sure thats the ticket! My etsy...

Ebay and Etsy Stuff
Oh..then you know how we love our horses. My Dandy is now about 10 yrs old and I learned to ride on him...starting when he was only 4-Yikes! He is truly awesome. I have some items in my etsy shop which is http://www.etsy.com/shop/DotsAttic and my ebay items are under...
New in Town and Lovin It!
Hi to all! I found the lounge while searching for information on a men's vintage fedora I had purchased. I thought the site was just a "guy" thing at first but was so excited to find it is a "ladies" thing too. I love the friendly atmosphere and look forward to...
