I bought (2) Lithonia Lighting 4 Ft. T8 Red Steel Shoplights from Home Depot. They're like most shoplights you see except these have a red finish. About $27. ea. Since HD didn't have the daylight/sunshine fluorescent bulbs I wanted, I got those at Lowe's. Two packages of (2) GE 32-Watt...

I'd probably get shot in my office - deer hunters here. Hee Hee

I think the freebies still have their name on the back; you have the option a paying more to stop advertising for them. Essentially, they get their name out everywhere one freebie goes. Bren

Not all shops which sold Vogue patterns provided the labels - they were an extra cost to the stores and didn't come inside the pattern. You had to ask for them when you bought the pattern - sometimes the store had bought them and sometimes not. If I especially wanted the label (like for a...

Leisa, I wouldn't even respond to her request. I have ignored requests for me to break our laws. I do mark the item as used clothing, however, and note the selling amount. Hugs, Bren

The cherries one is a Wilendur (pre-1957) and should bring a handsome price if it's a good size and excellent condition. Most collectors are very picky, just like with vintage clothing, so be sure to hold them up to bright light and look for and detail every minute flaw. Also mention...

If aspiration is a no-go, what about a stereotactic core removal? Much less invasive and leaves no scar (my breast oncologist can't even find the scar where he did mine). It's like a little roto-rooter and quite painless. Bren

They were both in the same book? OK, if so, then I say 1981 (only because Buttons took 1982). Bren

Well, I could've worn them in the 5th grade. But I wasn't allowed to wear high heels until I was in the 8th grade.....waaaaaay past a size six by then. Wah.

Relaxed. Compared with the 50's to mid-60's which required serious foundation garments to make everything even remotely wearable. Even my DDs who have the body shape that most would kill for cannot wear even the most common 50's garments. Because even their rib cages are too large for...

Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah! It's MINE....all MINE! And I think I got a bargain!

I think that might be needle lace, but someone with more knowledge will certainly confirm or correct me. Pins-n-needles knows a lot about laces; perhaps she'll be here soon. This era doesn't usually "speak" to me, but I just want to have this bodice at my house so I can just look at it...

Is this where I tell you, OT, of course, that my Mom's cousin received Oscars for both "From Here to Eternity" and "Bonnie and Clyde?" He was the cinematographer. Burnett Guffey from a teeny-tiny little podunk town in Tennessee.

I have the brown & white spectator-ish ones I got from you last year (pic #3 above) and DDs and I share them (3 pairs of feet the same size). Always get compliments on them. They are distinctively different from anything available today, just something about them. Still in mint...

Frankly, I think Cary Grant was never too old for any co-star. I feel the same way about Sean Connery. One of my DDs and I argue about which one of us will wind up with him. She has recently discovered Cary. Now, I have to share HIM with her too.
