    Target, I found was hand's down the BEST place to buy maternity. They had all the basic staples for great prices. I went to Liz Lange, Pea in the Pod, etc, but the same darn things there were four times or more the price! Since you'll be getting bigger in the cooler weather, sweaters will be...

    Daisy, I hear you on the shopping and I know a lot of people call it 'filling a void'. I'm not so sure that's true because when I'm happy, I shop, when I'm sad, I shop, etc. lol For me it's simply the beauty of the items, much like it is with guitars - the wood, the different sounds each...

    The ones that got away

    Daisy: I almost bid that dress myself but decided that the flaws were too great to warrant the price. My guess is that it looked much better in photos then it would in person. Are you looking for a gown to wear to the Queen Mary event? I have a gorgeous cream-colored Victor Costa halter-style...

    We get there around 7:30, 8:00 AM and do ok with parking and traffic. Weekends, you might need to go earlier. There were a lot of vendors with vintage clothing but I was amazed at how many were selling damaged or stained items. I'm pretty picky in that regard. There were a lot of lovely...

    Brimfield was slim-pickings for vintage clothing. There were vendors but a lot of crap compared to what's seen online. Prices were high too. Picked up some lovely Art Deco sterling bracelets for a good prices, some very kitchy 1950s earrings and a fabulous pair of 14K gold hair earrings...

    The key is to get the guitar set up right (strings low so it's easier to play) and to play through the pain (and frustration). Guitars all sound different, have their own character, so it's all too easy to want another and another... The thing that's funny is I love vintage, especially...

    Thanks Doll! Love your purchases. As for Ebay -- I have to say this is a lot cheaper than my guitar habit :eek: That's become truly pathetic but (I think) I've got what I need instrument-wise. Dress??? Um, I think not :) Isn't this cute...

    Target rules! Or...the annual repro clothing bonanza

    It is not unusual for even some of the best designers to troll for vintage for inspiration. Fashion tends to renew itself on twenty-year cycles which explains th retro-40s thing going on now. The 40s too were a very classic era for suits and can usually be worn off the rack with perhaps a...
