    Correspondence - Find a Pen Pal

    I would love to do this! My husband and I were just talking about letter writing over the weekend. I saw some beautiful stationary and wanted to buy it, but I realized I couldn't use it if I bought it because no one writes letters any more!

    Toiletries of the Golden Era

    Where do you find that? My first search just turned up products meant for cooking. Another vintage product still being made is Frownies. Used by Olivia de Haviland and Raquel Welch. I have some but I've never used them regularly enough to really find out if they work. I'm reaching a point...

    Toiletries of the Golden Era

    Anyone use Merle Norman? My mother has used it all my life and I never really thought much about it until she asked for a new jar of their Cleansing Cream for Christmas. My mother has always had beautiful skin so I thought maybe I should follow her example and give it a try too. Merle Norman...

    A Guide to Elegance by Genevieve Antoine Dariaux

    I love Elegance! I bought my copy on ebay years ago. Even when I find it impractical, I am still interested to see what she says and then try to figure out how to adapt it for my own time and circumstances. Of course I grew up on a 60's edition of Amy Vanderbilt's book of Etiquette (in the...

    Golden Era Women's Names

    My daughter's middle name is Louise (Chloe Louise). She is named for my mother (Sarah Louise) and my husband's grandmother (both born before 1928). Some other family names are my grandmother Pearl Bertha Mae (born 1880's) and my aunts Ruby Alice Elizabeth, Dot, Edith, Caroline (I am named for...

    The house that time forgot: family home frozen in the 1920s for 70 years

    That is quite possible, my aunt has 2 pianos for that very reason! :)

    Celluloid, Bakelite, Lucite and other vintage plastics

    I bought this to wear with a beautiful green hat my mom got me for Christmas. Now I just need to make the dress to wear them with! (Have the pattern, just need to go pick out some fabric and start!) [/IMG] I've also ordered Bakelite Pins by Karima Parry. I'm afraid my wallet is going to...

    Cold Cream- Brands and advice!

    I'm so sad! Our Target no longer has the Boots Cold Cream Rose (or anything else in their "Original Beauty Formula" line) They still had it about a month ago but now it is gone completely! Has anyone noticed if it is gone from all Target stores?

    Show us your vintage patterns!

    My first two real vintage patterns (I've bought some reproductions before but now I'm getting braver!) [/IMG] [/IMG] I also need to go "shopping" in my mom's sewing room. She probably still has every pattern she ever bought so that could be a gold mine! ;)

    Share your own art here :)

    I snapped this picture of our daughter outside a museum where we attended a mother/daughter tea. I played around some in photoshop and got this. I thought she wound up looking like an illustration for a new edition of Alice in Wonderland! [/IMG] The dress is actually vintage, it was mine...

    Does anyone here Tap Dance?

    Our daughter and I are working on a tap duet to "Mairzy Doats" for our church's USO show Veteran's Day weekend. She takes tap classes, I took many years of tap too, but that was a long time ago so when one of the other moms found out I used to dance and suggested this duet I wasn't sure I could...

    I couldn't resist these! They are brand new but I thought they were so feminine and had a vintagey look to them. [/IMG] You can't really tell in the picture but the blue & white one is a ring.
