It was a quiet but pretty wedding...

Vintage Homemaking Meets Modern Comfort – Seeking Advice & Sharing Tips
Seeing your post tonight makes me realize I haven't checked the forum in many days. Welcome! I think I can only speak to the storage for toddler toys. I'm also a housewife and stay at home mom. When my now 15yr old was a toddler, he was gifted a friend's 40 year Lego collection. The closest...- Miss Moonlight

Golden Era Woman of the Week
I think this might be my favorite, I love when people can look around and realize that the thing they were making their money off is actually not a worthy path, might actually be harmful, and can step away from it. It takes a self-awareness and a self-respectability that seems to be all too rare.- Miss Moonlight

What are some good current shops for 1940s fashion?
I ended up ordering the Ella wedge sandals from Memery. I'm between a 6-6.5 in US sizing, and my feet are on the narrow side while not really narrow. Going by their sizing instructions, I ordered the equivalent to US 7. It was far too large. They make exchanging for size easy, so I did that, and...- Miss Moonlight

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
A Walk in the Clouds. A romance that takes place just after WW2 ends. It's a sweet movie, totally non-challenging, which is exactly what I needed. The trailer:- Miss Moonlight

Show Us Your Sewing Patterns
I tried to post this earlier and accidentally deleted it, so I'm trying again. I'm happy to have found this sundress pattern by Today's Pattern Bureau, from a seller on Etsy. I've been looking for a dress just like it for ages, but only found close designs, and I don't want to do so much...- Miss Moonlight

BUZZ CUTS ?
There are some sites that show you how look with different haircuts. If you search something like 'how will I look with this haircut' or 'how will I look with a buzz cut?' you should find some to check out. I actually cut all my hair off about 9 months ago. I went through a major loss, and I...- Miss Moonlight

Kitchen Items
I don't know why I didn't see this years ago, but wow would I love a Guild Spice Chest radio. I still only have my '39 Philco, and it's so pretty I don't dare set it in my very busy kitchen. I've been wanting a kitchen radio forever, but I'm always concerned about it getting damaged. Not that...- Miss Moonlight

Rue's Movie Picks
I see this thread is long dead, but even if Rue isn't posting here anymore, I'd like to. Here's a film I just love, even though it's not the best thing ever. From 1944, San Diego I Love You. Jon Hall, Louise Allbritton, Edward Everett Horton, Eric Blore, and you'll also see Buster Keaton and...- Miss Moonlight

What are some good current shops for 1940s fashion?
I was just wondering if BAIT footwear was still decent quality for the price, after looking at the site a couple days ago. I know people felt pretty good about them years ago. How do you feel about the quality for the price? I ended up buying Memery instead because I have really sensitive feet...- Miss Moonlight

Show us what you've made!
When I can't find what I want, I like to get something close and alter it, if I can. I moved from So Cal to the Puget Sound area of Washington a few years ago, and quickly discovered that none of my boots are adequate for the colder winter days. I've wanted American Duchess Alpens since they...- Miss Moonlight

What are some good current shops for 1940s fashion?
Thank you! I was just looking at her site. I want to get a pair of sandals before I head back to California. I just saw today that she has a US location now, which really helps. And that 20% discount for signing up for the email newsletter as a first time customer. Holy cow that is a good discount!- Miss Moonlight

What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?
I'm not even sure if I answered this back when it was posted, but I do know my favorite colors are still by Besame. Velvet Red and Dusty Rose. I can't wear many pinks, but this one looks just like my natural lip color but with a boost of liveliness.- Miss Moonlight

Supporting the birdies
So lovely! I really like the seed feeder. I gave up on bird feeders at our last house (in So Cal) because the crows were a... problem, we'll say, for the hummingbirds. :( But I ended up feeding the crows once the populations of birds they eat stopped showing up, and they ended up coming to...- Miss Moonlight

Anyone still here??
I've been looking at forums again- this one, and the Halloween forum I used to frequent.When I hear about a lot of others leaving Fb and Ig, for various reasons, I'm crossing my fingers that forums like this will see an uptick in traffic. I hope hope hope. :) I'm going to try to visit more often.- Miss Moonlight
