    Beauty?

    I also disagree with the original post and agree with Drappa. To me "extremely beautiful" is not always extremely beautiful. The standard of classical beauty is cultural. What pleases my eye as beautiful in humanity and art is probably completely different to what you hold as beautiful...

    I've been wanting an Enid Collins purse for some time, even though I typically do not go for 60's era items (it's the glitz that draws me to them like a magpie!). But just like ladies of yesteryear, they are prohibitively expensive. Enter the General Crafts company and their Deluxe Jeweled...

    What my grandmother told me about life in the 1940s.

    I love this thread! But I have nothing much to add except it makes me miss my Nana (my greatgrandmother Helen, born 1897, died 1996) so much. I remember she talked about working in the Department of Printing and Engraving during WWII and into the 50's. She lived in the Washington D.C. area...

    thank you so much ladies!! Land-O-LakesGal, I just got that pattern from Decades of Style and am going to give them a go next week in some fine wale corduroy. I'm interested to see how they are compared to the 1940's pattern in fit.

    alright, i love collecting patterns, fabric and would love to find more time to sew, but I finally did work up the EvaDress 3322 1940's overalls. I had an older version of the pattern and I've found out in exchanging e-mail with Xandra that some of the problems with the side seams of the...

    Show us your hair do's....

    Jasmine Jolene, i too was going to suggest oiling your hair. Mine is coarse, curly, over-processed and frizzy. I oil it a bit at night, not too much, and only wash 1x a week if necessary. I use Monoi oil because i like the scent but even olive oil will do. i just use a teeny bit and rub it...

    Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream

    I have used it for years and always have some handy on my nightstand. Great on any dry skin area, lips, cuticles, wherever you may need it. It is heavily scented product so you may want to give it a sniff first if you are sensitive.

    Recommended Vintage-esque Nail Polish

    My mother worked the Revlon counter at the Hecht Company department store in Washington, D.C., from about 1965 to 1974. It was a very high end line in the store - and lucky for me, we always had lots of samples in the house - I know it's where my make up addiction began! Thanks for the memory...

    Custom made vintage repros...

    I read a review of her store just yesterday and contacted the seller for a special project. Even though I sew there are certain things I just don't have time for. She's a pleasure to work with so far and when the project is done I'll be sure to share!
