Thankyou sooo much!! that pdf is great!!, I've learnt loads :eusa_clap although I still am not quit sure how to get mine cut but I have a while before I need to decide:rolleyes:

I know not many people do, but I actually really liked kate and leopold he is just so charming and gentlemanly I can't help falling head over heels for that character :) back on topic, I am definitely interested in seeing this movie, but am not too fussed if I don't get to see it straight away.

Oooh! These look really good, and very easy to make. I think I might have to sew some for myself, and test it out. Thanks for the inspiration. :D

I love your hats lorena, you must have very good taste and luck.:rolleyes: I'm trying to build up a little collection but I only have a couple of real vintage ones, the others I have are mostly vintagey looking thrift store finds. I'll have to take some pictures and show you all.

Most Definitely LD, and it soo well written. Truly inspiring :eusa_clap I have definitely decided that when I one day have a home and family of my own an I am sure going to where a cute little apron to match the business. although i do have a sudden urge to wear one now :p

Thanks Red :D I'll definitely keep my eyes open next time I go in to town. There's also a cheap bookshop that does lot's of crafty type books near where I live, i'll have to check it out there too. Thanks again.:)

Aaaaawwwww!!!! How cute! :rolleyes: I love them and there lopsidedness. Tell me did you use a pattern or was it created off the top of your head, I'd love to know so I can make some for myself :p though they do make very cute presents too, .....which thinking about it would be another great...

Oh! :eusa_doh: Woops! How embarassing. I imagine that is why it wasn't mentioned then :p just assumed that it was early 40s, I guess I ought to check next time particularly as I haven't watched it in while. Thanks for the correction:)

This is a picture of my hair this morning. I slept in foam rollers, but it went a little bit to puffy so I went over it gently with some straightners, this is the result. The funny thing is, is that it doesn't look that much different to my natural hair, I think I might have to practice a bit...

A few more from my new book :D p.s. somebody please let me know if i'm breaking any rules by posting these. I don't want to get in any trouble. :( apoligies for the blurryness

This image is from my early 40s sears book, which I recieved in the mail today, i am so excited to finally have it. It is amazing and I would recomend it to anybody and everybody. :D I just hope I'm not breaking any copyright laws by posting pictures from it :o This particular advert is...

Wow, this is such a great idea, as I've always struggled with my victory rolls. I'll have to brush my hair twice as often just so I can collect some hair quick enough. I can't wait. Wish me luck. ;)

I tend to dress quite 1940s and I find it funny that when people mention things about my look they often get mixed up and say I look very fifties, The difference of styles has always been so clear to me and I thought people could tell one from the other, but I guess they just don't know enough...

I recently saw 'For Me and My Gal' which was just excellent. And another of my favourites is 'Bringing up Baby' which i'm surprised nobody's mentioned this one, as it's soo funny lol, it features Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant (a great combination) and much more entertaining, I think, than...

No more than a distant dream, but i am quite literally in love with this coat from hobbs. The picture doesn't even do it justice, The first time I saw was in real life and it is absolutely stunning. It is a cashmere and angora blend fabric and is so thick, the quality is amazing. just a shame...
