    favorite perfume...

    Back when my skin would still tolerate scent, my two favourites were Pierre Cardin for Men and a bergamot based spray from Avon. It would probably be fair to say I have unsophisticated tastes.

    What's For Breakfast...

    Fried onions and potato, one egg sunny side up, a plum, a nectarine, and a whole lot of milky tea.

    What time period would you live in, and where, if you had to for one year?

    If the trip were to be a family affair, I'd want to land somewhere in the late 50s to early 60s. Probably in suburban Hometown, Ontario. I think the kids would enjoy the novelty of roaming the neighbourhood all day long without adults around, business was booming, and I have a fondness for...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Hello, everyone. I'm LyraMae, and I'm a long time lurker, but first time joiner. The 1930s, '40s and '50s are especially dear to me, with a specific passion for the aspects of hearth and home. I live in Canada with a great number of children (I'm told they're all mine), a husband, and a small...
