From the UK, "Poetic License" shoes are vintage-inspired and really cute! I don't think I can post the link, but it is easy to find on Google. The Victorian booties are wonderfully inspiring.
We've moved to the Phoenix area and I'm looking for some great vintage events and resources and shops and etc. to explore.
Does anyone have ideas?
Thank you for sharing!

I'm relatively new to crochet, having made my first hat after spending LOTS of time working on two afghans and many dishcloths.
I would now like to try and make a sweater, but I can't find a not-to-difficult adult cardigan to crochet.
And, I would like to...
Crocheted First Hat
It's a cloche (at least the pattern says that) with a brim and simple ruffling with the same yarn, a lovely Cape Cod blue.
I'll attach a photo tomorrow, but wanted to let everyone know that it really wasn't that difficult. I've been practicing making dishcloths and...

This film was on Turner Classics tonight. The vintage fashions were really great to see. One, in particular, was worn by the female owner of the carnival, and I can't remember her name. Anyway, it was a flowered print, with a cross-over bodice; really cute!
Does anyone else have favorite...

While she enjoys the contemporary modeling she does, her interest...
Can anyone explain this term with regard to stocking sizes for nylon, silk or cotton stockings?
Is the stocking size the same as one's shoe size?
Thanks for the info!
Sorry about the live link. I didn't know about that, but can you fix the post to reflect that there are several silk stockings for sale on ebay?
Thanks!

It does seem a bit pricey, but I think I could wear it, especially with Spring right around the corner.
Any thoughts?
I've written before about our daughters and introducing them to vintage style. My teenage daughter, who is very much her own person, is now interested in learning how to adapt this look to herself. She is a mature 14, tall and "curvy" as she says.
