    Womans: 1940s Wool Jacket w/ Beading / Plus FREE Vintage Purse

    purchase handbags separate? While the jacket is beautiful, sadly it is a tad bit too small for me. Would you consider selling your handbags separately? They are just darling!

    Do You Like Being Called "Hon"?

    Maybe its a female thing. I think it bothers me more if its a female that is calling me 'hon'. But then, here in the Midwest, I rarely hear men say it to complete strangers. And then again, I haven't been single in a bar for a long time, so maybe that's where they use it. Perhaps its a more...

    Do You Like Being Called "Hon"?

    Do you like being called "Hon"? (Short for "Honey") I do, if its my hubby, or someone near and dear to me, but not a telemarketer that doesn't even know me! I received a phone call from some telemarketer (I'm registered on the do-not-call list, hmmmm) today and she asked if I was using Product A...

    Is it 2008 or 1958?? - Retro marriage, 21st century-style

    I think that's precisely what draws me to the 1930s - 1940s eras. They seem to be part of simpler bygone times. Realistically, I know that times were just as tough (and maybe more so) back then as they are today. But my recent experience of hanging laundry on a clothesline (actually my dryer...

    Besame cosmetics

    I got my order today (ordered it on the 6th, but then it has to be shipped here to the Midwest) and everything is just fine. My Merlot lipstick is just as I expected as well as my plum dandy eyeshadow and the beige shadow. The plum and the beige look slightly similar when held up to the light. I...

    The Ration Book Diet

    Very Interesting... Lizzie, What an interesting thread/diet. Several years ago, my local library had a book that was full of WW II ration recipes. It was published back in the early 40s. I did copy a few of the recipes--mostly cake recipes, where you don't use any eggs, butter, and a minimal...

    Besame cosmetics

    I have the merlot lipstick and love it too as well as the sweet pink rouge. Don't let the small size fool you, they last as long as "full-sized" products you find in stores. They have more "colorant" or whatever they call it--its more concentrated. I just ordered another merlot lipstick so I can...

    I checked back with UPS today and now it says my order has a rescheduled delivery date of August 20, so I've got a few more to wait. The anticipation is killing me! lol

    Besame cosmetics

    YEAH!!! :eusa_clap Good for you! It really did pay to ask about the shipping charge. That's a good chunk of change that I'm sure you can use elsewhere.

    Besame cosmetics

    RetroQueen, The last day for their close-out sale was the 10th. They could of sold out of everything, but I'm guessing they're going to re-vamp the website with their new products that are supposed to come out. They did state in an email I got that you can still buy their products at other...

    Besame cosmetics

    I got my tracking number yesterday, as previously stated, but today it still says "billing information received, 8/13/08" And in regards to the USPS vs. UPS. I've shipped lots of items using both carriers and NO WAY does it cost to ship 1 lb. $11, even if you ship it from coast to coast. I...

    Besame cosmetics

    I can't speak for international shipping, but when Besame first came out, those of us who lived in the States could choose U.S. Priority Mail as a shipping option. It was around $4.95, I believe. Now, that option is grayed out and only UPS and International shipping is offered. And I had to pay...

    Besame cosmetics

    I just received another email from Besame giving me my UPS tracking number and that my order was shipped today. (I placed my order August 6) I checked on the UPS website, but the tracking number only states that billing/shipping info was sent. Its got to come here in the Midwest, so I figure...

    Besame cosmetics

    verazasulich, You can try and ask about the high shipping, but I imagine the rest of the $60 shipping cost (minus the actual shipping) is probably the handling fee. A lot of companies charge handling fees above the actual cost of shipping to cover shipping supplies, etc. But I do agree, that is...

    Scarlett, Thanks for letting us know that your order arrived OK. That's weird about no shipping info. Hmmmm, maybe that will be the same for me. I don't mind not getting the tracking number, as long as I get the goods! I'm a makeup junkie and I need my fix! lol

    Besame cosmetics

    Inky, I placed my order on August 6th and I haven't heard anything yet either. I, too, ordered some lipstick and sure hope mine doesn't arrive messed up. I'm thinking I should be getting a tracking number for my order in a few days--keeping my fingers crossed....

    Girls, Are you blotting your lipstick after applying? I usually will lightly blot (press my lips on) a tissue or one of those thin blotting papers (I carry these in my purse--curler end papers work too). For a deeper color, I'll apply lipstick, blot and apply another layer and then blot again...

    need some brutal honesty!

    Josephine, you beat me to the punch! I was playing around with Photoshop with the two pictures myself. Maybe you can do it better (I got frustrated and gave up). I was trying to merge the halter top of the floral dress with the pencil skirt bottom and then trying to make it all black. That's...
