    The History of Broadway

    I went to a wedding near NYC this weekend and one of the benefits was NYC's channel 13 which is PBS. It had so many good programs on there and one of them was the History of Broadway. I was able to watch the history from the 20's to 50's and it was really good. I guess it's a 6 part series...

    Foods that shouldn't be allowed in your house because you will eat it all

    What food do you love so much that it should never be allowed in your house because you have a hard time controlling your portions? Currently for me, it's Sun Chips. Every time I go into the kitchen and am feeling a little hungry I grab a handful. I think I have eaten 1/2 the bag in two...

    Show us your vintage buttons

    I know there are quite a few ladies here who collect buttons. I have a small collection and sometimes I just like to stare at them and picture what I could put them on. Anyhow, I need one of them for a dress so I took some out and photographed some of my favorites. Do any of you have any...

    What Home Improvement Project did you start only to hate it?

    Doh, one of my goals this summer was to get rid of the wall to wall carpeting on my 1st floor and expose the hard wood. The house is 107 years old and I peeked under the carpeting to see the most gorgeous wood I have ever seen. It is a wide pine with the most incredible markings on it and I...

    Stage Door

    Did anyone watch Stage Door last night w/ Kate Hepburn? I saw it for the first time and loved it. I watch a lot of movies for the fashion and it had a ton of gorgeous women's fashion that left me breathless in some instances. I am so happy Katherine Hepburn is star of the month and I have...

    What's your least favorite chore?

    Is anyone else in a fashion dilema right now?

    Grrrrr. It is that time of year again. It is too warm to wear my wool suits, but too cold to wear all of the dresses I bought. I wake up every morning, check the weather web site and then try and figure out what I am going to wear and lately it has been pants and a light sweater (not very...

    Need Help from the Men. What would you wear w/ this?

    Hi gentlemen. I was at Goodwill this morning and found a burberry blazer for $2.50 that my son is going to wear to a wedding. Sadly it wasn't a full suit, but I had to buy it because it was such a good price. Do any of you have any suggestions on what color shirt, pants and tie I should...

    Do color older movies lose some of the magic for you?

    I am an avid film lover and especially love the ones from the 30's and 40's because of the fashion, home furnishings and just that time era. I also know that unless they are a musical, there is a good chance it will be in black and white. I don't know what it is about B&W films, but there is...

    Where is the collectors market for vintage clothing?

    I have spent the past couple of days going to antique shops and an auction and have been very disappointed in their vintage clothing. I actually asked one of the women if she ever got anything besides hats and purses and she said very rarely and she doesn't go out actively searching for it...

    Eating Habits of the Past vs. Now

    I am back to clean, healthy eating after a week of eating Easter candy, ice cream and other junk I try to avoid. After one day I feel so much better and have my energy back. I used to think I was carbohydrate sensitive but I ruled that out because my body feels great if I give it good carbs...

    I just picked up Issue 1 of Classic Style

    I was at B&N and remember someone here saying they found Classic Style at B&M so I checked mine and sure enough it was there. I glanced through the entire magazine (will read if in it's entirety after the craziness of Easter is over with), and am very impressed with the articles and beautiful...
