    New Etsy Store: Blatant Plug!

    I really love the things on the Ann Jenkins site. I keep looking at a couple of the smaller round brooches and thinking how much I'd love to have one... as a necklace :horny: I wonder if a little customization would be out of the question. Well -- only one way to find out. Hollis, are you...

    Detergent for "delicates"? Can't find thread...

    I bought Euclan on - was it Claire's? - suggestion, on Ebay. Used it to wash a vintage Irish mohair throw and it came out beautifully - better in every way than a dry cleaner's would've managed. I don't think the label mentions anything about using it for silk - let me go have a look. No...

    Is this Armani vintage?

    I'm going to go against the tide here... not only does that label look like nothing I've seen Armani use from the mid-80's forward, the dress itself looks pre-80's to me. The soft shoulder, the soft shape -- it all looks like a precursor to his quintessential Power Eighties looks. The only...

    Morris, my Cat ~ New Pics

    Oh Linda, you knew I was a Cat Person -- you just forgot because there are so many of us around here :) Your Morris is a big fat sweetie cat -- who'll probably find a way-too-small box (or who-knows-what) to sleep in, despite your best efforts! Carolyn

    Mold on thick leather... any suggestions?

    Dampen a sponge with white vinegar, go over the entire bag with it; follow up with glycerin saddle soap, then a good leather conditioner - there are many. I'll check back later with some suggestions :) You shouldn't have to worry about spots with this procedure. Sounds like a great bag...

    Riding Jacket, I think...Need help from horse lovers

    Lizzie asked a question about value as an aside in an email; I thought I'd answer here in case anyone else was wondering :) The buttons alone on your hunt coat are worth $150 +/- to any current member of that hunt. The design & materials of the buttons never ever change, which should...

    Flaky (literally) Dress

    Unfortunately this story is all too common - as common as ( :horny: ) dust... Case #34,652: I found this jacket a couple of months ago. Cute, no? I gave it a good once-over, inside and out, and - because I'm quite familiar with Satan's Shavings :P , which would be none too...

    Riding Jacket, I think...Need help from horse lovers

    You have a hunt coat, a good heavy melton. The buttons, and the scarlet, indicate which hunt the wearer was a member of (ouch! And I was an English major ~) Be back in a minute with the name of the hunt. Excellent maker BTW Carolyn

    WANTED: Swirl Dresses

    Oooh, it's perfect for you Laura -- and it's ending in 20 minutes! The bidding for it is also as fierce as I've ever seen for a Swirl because it's NOS and a nice, comfortable size. Hmmm, what are the odds I'll get to be your Secret Santa this year? Unfortunately it would take me until...
