    Strange Superstitions and The Superstitious Among Us

    All courtesy of my Gram: Hats on the bed or shoes on the table mean bad luck. (This one is huge in our family and you will hear us shriek if you try to set a shoe box on a table!) Birds in the house are bad luck. (Try shopping with her for kitchen curtains with this one in mind. :)) If you...

    Missing Loungers Whom You Miss.

    Awww...me too! I hope wherever she is, she's well and still fighting the good fight against "cutter" quilts and bedspreads. :)

    10 Weirdest Beauty Devices

    That's insane! I'd bet my back teeth that they'd be less interested in reviving the fad if they could actually SEE the unsanitized end product. Geez, I realize women have always faced a tremendous amount of pressure and scrutiny about their beauty value...but to willingly ingest a parasite...

    warehouse 13 am totally hooked 59 Lark eager for more.

    My 70 year old Mom turned me on to this show! She loves it and I enjoy it too. Sometimes I wish they'd go into more detail about the "item" and spend less time on the action to retrieve it. I had no idea it was on DVD. I may see if I can get a copy for Mom for Christmas! Thanks for the idea!

    unconventional earrings?

    I spent most of my retail career in fine jewelry. I've seen in-and-out hoops, leverbacks, threaders, jackets, interchangeables, cuffs, you name it. I have never seen anything quite like those, KittyT! They are yummy but baby, they sure have me stumped! If anyone finds any info on these, I'd...

    From Scratch

    Good going Miss Rue! Heart disease runs in my family. When my Mom had a heart attack and quadruple bypass surgery last May, I overhauled the food choices here. I got rid of all the jars of sauces and crud and all the boxes of salty, processed just-add-chicken-and-bake stuff and totally...

    OneAndOnly...what a sensational little hat! My first thought was changing the flowers to a brighter color...but that hat is perfect just the way it is. Don't change a thing except maybe the outfits you wear it with!

    Thanks girls...I can just see me in that robe cooking pancakes on Sunday morning for the vintage husband and 2.5 children, if I had 'em! ...or am I getting confused with an episode of Mad Men? :D

    Show us your TIES

    I have to tell you all...aside from "Show Us Your Purchases" over in the Powder Room, the Gents tie posts are my favorite! I am love-love-loving the set that is "endorsed by movie stars". Why, I'll bet I could even choke down brussel sprouts if the bag said "endorsed by movie stars"! ;)...

    Etsy

    Just speaking in general terms, I could possibly see some circumstances where a merchant could be disturbed about a resale that has nothing to do with sour grapes or kicking themselves in hindsight. I think sometimes it has to do with integrity. I know I would feel bad if I sold something at...

    Winter Weather - First Snow-

    Get the heck outta town L-O-LGal! I can't believe you guys can make snowmen already! I'm in NE PA and just decided to wash my winter Land's End jacket today, in preparation. Two of the vets I work for relocated from Minnesnowta this year. I can't wait to tell them they've already avoided...

    Frenchy...I think we all totally respect each other's comfort level with regard to posting pictures of ourselves. You go ahead and keep to what works for you. No pressure. :) ...but, if you'd like to post pics of your vintage items (sans the hooman who wears them) feel free! That's pretty...
