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.

I watched Sabrina and they said at the end that Cary Grant had been offered the role Bogart played. I think he was mis-cast. But then, he had a penchant for too-old-for-his-co-star parts. Of course, he had married his most famous 19yo co-star and he was, what, 53?

Liz, Can you just cover a plastic or metal button? With a round piece of fabric just the right size, a few little stitches around the perimeter, and a few shots of steam, you might be able to do it. Brenda

Hmmmm....two different eras. Shall it be Breakfast at Tiffany's or My Fair Lady? This one or that one.....hmmmmm. It was a coin toss and I went for the more flamboyant clothes and the British accents.

Oh, no, we must keep our vintage buttons, and pet them occasionally. Bring them out, pet them, and put them back in the safe. Welcome, Igot! Brenda

She dreamed she stopped traffic (air traffic, that is) in her Maidenform bra.

I love this movie! PBS did a recent remake and it was awful. Poor acting and even worse clothes. Thanks for the heads up. Brenda

Do you have cable TV? They usually offer online service. So sorry, dahling. I feel for you with dial-up. I've decided that I'll never move anywhere I can't get DSL or cable. Brenda

I thought coats or hats. Bren

I think re-stitching would be the only way, Carolyn...one by one or a series of a few (5-6) at a time. And use a beading needle so that you can run new thread through the ones that are still attached so you can reinforce them. Regular needles are too thick. I always pull my thread...

Frankly, I still don't see how you wound up in the pink flamingo debate via the museum of bad art. I see no connection at all. None. Bren :bouncy::bouncy::bouncy::bouncy:

Do a Google search for purse hardware; I had a couple of websites bookmarked on my old puter, but don't have them now. Lots of availability. Maybe even some sellers on eBay. Brenda

OH, MY!!! Absolutely marvelous. I would have a hard time letting go of that beauty!

Wow! Gosh, I wish my DDs would hurry up and mature into vintage interest. You'd think that Carrie (SATC) would've done it for them. So many gorgeous things they could wear. Brenda

Wild abandon can be fun! Good for you! Brenda (and where are the before & after pix?)

Yes, tea dyeing is quite common for that "aged" look on fabric. Works well on all cotton. Brenda
