    Show Us Your Sewing Patterns

    I agree, it's not one piece. One piece wouldn't have the fit, but you can also tell by the fabric print. Maybe by now the OP is a more experienced sewist and can recreate the pattern going by the image. It's super cute.

    Kitchen Items

    I was watching I love Lucy, and there's an episode (Lucy Raises Chickens) where I noticed this radio cabinet on the counter behind her. I love this radio cabinet. I've never seen one in person. Anyone have one? I wonder how hard they are to find. If you have any great or favorite vintage...

    Name one really wonderful thing you will for yourself in 2019

    I don't really do the resolutions thing, but the turning of a calendar year does have me thinking about what I've done or not, and where I can go from there to achieve what I'd like to have in life. Reading over some of the posts here, I recalled what I thought about in January. And I think I've...

    Marvels Agent Carter Fashion

    So I found silicone eyeglass nose pads, applied them, and now the glasses fit well. Far better than anticipated. They also don't squeeze my head like many sunglasses do. So it was a bit of a rollercoaster in terms of how I feel about these, but finally, I'm very happy with them. I'd take a pic...

    Show Us Your Oldest Books

    These are my two oldest books. At the Sign of the Jack O'Lantern by Myrtle Reed, 1902. I love the writing on the page for this one. Vera wrote, "A book for some chuckles when reading." Indeed, there are some pretty funny moments in this book. Greyfriar's Bobby by Eleanor Atkinson, 1912...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    No one seems to say presently when they mean soon. Which is understandable, as it sounds like a word for immediately. ha. Also, I don't hear people say Fair to middlin for okay - that one comes from my mom who was born in Missouri in 1946 but moved to So Cal at about age 10. She used it...

    Quirky things that people have done 'in the day' that people would gasp at today..

    Talking on the phone is becoming a quirk. Which I'm not sure why I mind, because I don't even like talking on the phone. I just dislike that social media has become the default way to communicate. I think it really removes something from the inpersonal experience. And I deactivated my social...

    What do you do on wash day?

    I'm a housewife, so days I wash my hair are not much different than others. My hair is past my waist- right now, just to my hips. When I wash my hair, I keep it simple. Usually in the morning. Shower, wash, rinse, put on conditioner and let sit while I attend to the rest of the shower, then I...

    Marvels Agent Carter Fashion

    Update on the Agent Carter glasses from Old Focals. The website description says, "Special edition of our Architect frame. Customized to replicate the frames we created for Agent Carter. These frames come with sun glass lenses installed. The frames are optical quality if you would like to change...

    Marvels Agent Carter Fashion

    I've ordered myself a pair of the glasses. Just as they look on Peggy there, although they have options for polarized lenses, different colors, even rx. I'm oddly excited to wear them with the Besame Red Velvet lippie from the Agent Carter collection. lol

    You know you are getting old when:

    Well as I said, my body's no different. I still could rock the wiggle dress, I just don't want to. It really isn't about how my body or face might or might not change, but how I feel. Perhaps mood change works for that. It doesn't bother me to feel older, really. I don't feel 'my age' most of...

    Besame cosmetics

    Ooh! I have that set and it is fully worth the price. The Victory Red lipstick ended up not working on me- I'm a bit too olive tone for it- so I sent it to a friend who can't afford to buy Besame on her very tight budget while caring for her kids and a foster kid. But I kept the nail polish...

    You know you are getting old when:

    I'm going to be 50 next year, and it doesn't feel like that means much. I have a young child (she's about to turn 10), and my body hasn't changed much in spite of drastic, medically required dietary changes. But I have this tropical wiggle dress and dammit. I cannot handle wearing it. :/ I would...

    Marvels Agent Carter Fashion

    So it's been a few years since the show was cancelled after the second season. I still watch it now and then, as I'm sure others do. But I'm wondering if any of you have purchased the AC sunglasses from oldfocals? I'm *this* close to buying them, I just have to wait til July due to priorities...

    Aunt Sammy - Housekeeper's Chat

    Such a shame. I was aware that many women were the voice of Aunt Sammy, and that a lot of it was local, thanks to the articles I read on her, and the wikipedia entry. But Lizzie, if you haven't found any recordings, I'm thinking it safe to say they're not there.
