I am coveting the lipstick box as we speak. The Reds! They call to me in the night! :p

Most of you probably already know this but dont forget to check the book sections in your thrift stores! I have found THE BEST magazines from the 1930s and 1940s and also pattern books and cataloges. You can at least get ideas for things to make or ways to wear clothing from these...not to...
