fftopic: Is persian lamb like fur or is it ok for a non-fur wearing person such as myself? This isn't a dig at anyone who wears fur etc, it is a genuine question as I am perplexed

And yes, Persian Lamb is a lamb skin. But I have seen a lot of fake Persian Lamb fabric over the years.

Aww, so cute! (And congratulations on your daughter! How exciting! :eusa_clap )Miss Dottie said:I love to knit, however, my RSI has made it very painful over the past couple of years.

Enter any vintage loving gal's savior--Ebay and voila lovely handknit items for babies. Such as this gorgeous frilly pink one:

As a knitter, I appreciate every stitch that some mom/grandma/auntie to be or beloved family friend put into the garment and I want those garments to live and be loved and cherished as much as they did.

Lady Day said:I went to The Button Store in West Hollywood with a friend of mine today, and I spend all the time looking at the cards of vintage buttons the lady had in the display cases. MMmmmm
I bought one button, bakelite inlay from 20s Italy. I thought it was so unusual! Id never seen bakelite inlay with bakelite. She said they had to be done by hand.
I love it and gotta think about what Im gonna use it for. Its my most expensive button.
