    Canning

    There must be some lovely people who enjoy canning here! Do you have any favorite recipes? How long have you been canning? Who taught you? I just picked it up last year. My mother canned, but I never much paid attention (being a teen when she started), but have since then taught myself. I...

    Homesteading

    How many of you are into the 'homesteading' style of vintage living? I currently have four hens and a vegetable garden on my 3/4 acre plot in town. I hope to get a dairy goat as well. You'll commonly see me outside, barefoot, collecting eggs or hanging clothes on my clothesline. ;) What do...

    What vintage won't you wear?

    Bullet bra for sure. I heard someone say once that she'd make it look more like an atomic warhead, and I echo her sentiments. ;) I can't wear shift or drop-waist dresses. It makes me look incredibly dumpy. :( Anything with padded shoulders. I have rather man-like shoulders and don't need help...

    Vintage Fashions and the Petite Woman

    I'm pretty sure I'm not the only woman here who runs on the shorter side of 'average'. ;) I have found that wearing scooped or V necklines help, along with having my skirts and dresses hemmed to directly below the knee. What do you find helps to create a longer, leaner silhouette?

    Multiple Fashion Personality Disorder... am I the only one?

    I have these days where all I want to do is dress pure vintage. Most of the time it's 50's, sometimes 40's. But then I get frustrated because I have very little that looks vintage. I thrift it when I can find it, but its sliiiim pickin's around here. Then, when I do wear vintage, the stares I...

    The Middy Thread

    So, I trimmed my hair to the tutorial and I must've done something for different this time. It just feels different somehow. I tried a pin curl set. Epic fail. :/ Lasted an hour. My hair is 6" at the longest point... im starting to wonder if I should go even shorter. My hair is so dang thick...

    Hey pipe/cigar smokers! I need your opinion...

    My reviews would be purely for the purpose of smoking in the presence of a lady, or before a date with a lady. :) Say, you wanted to go out on a date with a girl you've never kissed. You decide to smoke beforehand. The last thing you'd want is her to think 'Oh my god, he tastes like a burnt...

    Hey pipe/cigar smokers! I need your opinion...

    So, my husbands been smoking pipes/cigars for about 3 years now. My question is, would any of you be interested in reading short reviews of tobacco/cigars from a womans standpoint? I don't smoke, but I get to experience the smell of the smoke and the... taste of the man mouth afterwords. :o...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    "There's a certain beauty about you." -From a gal I was browsing earrings with at a local thrift shop. Needless to say, my day was made! I rarely get compliments from men though, it's mostly 30+ year old women who compliment me. :)

    The Middy Thread

    Ok, ladies, I have not yet posted in this forum, but have been 'forum stalking', for lack of a better word, for a long time.... I had decided to follow C-Dots tutorial on cutting your own middy, though, I modified it to be slightly longer. I have cut my hair before, because I am either too busy...

    Did I make a boo-boo by not buying this dress?

    So, I saw this at our local Value Village... Do you think it's vintage? Maybe 50's? There was no tag, the side-zipper was metal, and it had metal sew-on snaps in the shoulders, as if shoulder pads went there. The buttons where plastic, and the material was soft and thin. The...

    How can you tell if the clothing is truly vintage?

    Forgive me if this question has already been asked. And, if there's a thread, would you kindly direct me to it? Thanks oodles. :) I have a hard time telling when clothes are vintage, or just 80's repos. What are key things to look for? Thank you!

    Do you think it is sexy if a man dresses in Vintage clothes?

    Oooh yes! Vintage is hot. ;) My husband will dress up in a suit and tie and all that on special occasions. His everyday wear is rather 'lumberjack' style... Plaid flannel tucked into black jeans and combat boots... Hehehe He has mentioned wanting spats though...
