Here's a question: (I hope this makes sense...) How do you girls get your victory rolls to stay so circular without hair rats? Everytime I try, no matter how perfect the roll looks on my finger, when I go to secure it I end up with flattend ovals smooshed again my head. Maybe I'm pinning it...

I might mention that it's not just college kids who think that, though. You're right, there is nothing wrong with human progress and I believe it should be encouraged wholeheartedly. But I believe that progress should be just that, progressive. It's difficult to find good craftmenship...

Red Doll 1940s: I'm afraid that picture doesn't show, darling.

If any of you are near South Eastern Pennsylvania, say an outside out of Philly or so, it's a thrift store and antiques heaven! I should know, I live there!

I may be in the minority here, but I think just the feed sacks with a wooden valence on top would look the best. The two fabrics just clash too much. Not only that, but I doubt mixing fabrics like those would be very period appropriate. But I could be wrong, of course. Moral of the story...

That's a lovely offer, Brinybay. Thank you for being so thoughtful! I'd take you up on that if I hadn't just recieved a new KitchenAid mixer for Christmas. A girl can only mix so many things at a time, and I've got a teeny-tiny kitchen. :) It is gorgeous, though.

My friends and I were gruesome in highschool. We celebrated "Massacre Day" and one year I even when so far as to take a white shirt, splatter it with red dye to look like blood and put a little bandaid over where my heart would be. Some of my teachers weren't so fond of that...lol But...

:eek: *falls over and dies* WANT!

Oh, I green with envy! I love old kitchen appliances! Needs a little elbow grease to shine her up, but what a beauty!

It says, "RINGLESS stocking!" and, "Free from Rings!" Call me silly, but what exactly does that mean? What sort of rings are they talking about?

While I'll agree it's so strange that someone would "worship" such an evil person as Hitler and his cronies, I think there's a bit more too it than that. If you look at it from a historical standpoint, I don't see anything wrong with Nazi reenactors. I might even say I encourage them. You...

You look so hep! The first time I curled my bangs I was so surprised, too. I had no idea they would actually hold it. I think it's such a quick and easy way to feel retro. Plus, I give you major points on the bandana too!

Here are my two fuzzy friends. lol On top is Lucinda (Lucy for short, or if she's bad, Lucyfer). She's my 5 month old kitten. The other goofball is my boyfriend, Nate.

Like many have said, I'm so,so sorry to hear she's passed away, but I'm also glad that she's finally at rest. To be honest, Bettie doesn't seem like the gal who'd want anyone to mourn her too much. So here's to the life of one of my (and many other's) personal heroes! Cheers.

I've been looking, but I haven't heard any updates yet. :(
