    Housework in winter?

    The Vermont Country Store has two button front flannel dresses which definitely are perfect cold weather house dresses. Both styles are plaids. They also have some vintagey cardigans. These pieces really look like something from the thirties.

They are really vintage copies. Check out the Trinket by P.W. Minor.The down side is that they only come in black and even...

    1940's shoes.

    My Everday Shoes I love the Trinket by P.W. Minor. They still make this shoe. It is the closest thing that I can find to World War II era shoe. Very expensive, but, they seem to wear forever. I wish they came in other colors than basic black. Fortunately, I was able to get some other colors...
