    Roadside Finds

    I have found some great stuff on the side of the road. All of my lawn furniture (vintage 1950s metal stuff...need to get it to the autobody shop for a paint job!), some huge candle holders, an iron day bed with trundle (weighed a ton and I was by myself...), an armoir, the lamp that is next to...

    Poll: Dean Martin or Bing Crosby?

    First of all, Tiller, that clip is AMAZING! Wow! Second, my vote goes with Dean. I've loved him since I was a little girl... a very long time! Probably partly because I remember his show, and he was so charming on it, partly because his voice is like butter, and partly because my father...

    Show us what you've made!

    Lauren, I love that dress! The print is great, but the details blow me away! The rick rack on the collar and the buttons... perfection!

    Who Loves Linen?

    MirandaFern, I was just able to find some of that jug starch... I'll have to try that method. If your linen stands Houstin, surely mine will stand Austin! ;)

    The Sunday Drive

    I think it is to do with the cars...at least partly. Those old, heavy cars, with big bench seats certainly had a comfort level captain's chairs don't have...at least for kids. Of course, the lack of seatbelt laws helped (?!), too. Sprawling across the big back seat, or sitting up and looking out...

    Kicking your coffee with hooch

    As the north of Ireland holds a special place in my heart, may I recommend St. Brendan's instead of Bailey's? Way better. And perfection in coffee (or straight!)

    What flower is Rita Wearing?

    I go with lily, too. I'm from Mississippi, and that is not magnolia I've ever seen! It looks to be a silk flower, as well, so is probably a bit stylized.

    Retro=Frumpy?

    Amen, Kamikat! I fell into that "mom look" pretty bad... just got lazy. I had been a vintage lover for years, and I always cared about my appearance. Then, one day at my kiddo's school, I realized I was dressed exactly like every other mom there... baggy capris, flip-flops, t-shirt, tote bag...

    Show us your Swirl dresses!

    sixsexsix... I love and adore that dress. And I'm now sad that I don't own it... (but pleased an appreciater does! :) )

    Show us your Swirl dresses!

    I saw that one go on Ebay, too. It wasn't even all that cute. I guess I missed the curve and only came to Swirl during this current "hype." I blame Fleur de Guerre for looking so darn gorgeous in them, everyone wants one! Darn you, Fleur. Of course... I, too, want one because she looks so...

    Everyday Women of the Golden Era

    Marla, That second photo of Margaret is an absolute stunner. What a gorgeous smile, never mind that figure and that dress...and that hair. She could upstage any movie star!

    The Middy Thread

    SheBear, That is too cute. So, is the back in pig tales, then? Trying to figure out what you've got going on back there. I LOVE that look!

    Loungers' Pets

    Andrew! We, too, have a greyhound and a border collie. I'd love a second grey, but we just don't have enough sofas! But our grey and BC are perfectly suited to each other (the BC is older, and thus chilled out a good deal of the time, which suits a sleeping grey!). Our grey is black and...

    BoPeep, That skirt is lovely. I'm always a sucker for florals on a black background, for some reason!

    Show us your vintage patterns!

    Kamikat, What is the make and model on that second pattern? I must put that on my want list.

    Movies I revisit when I need to recharge.

    When I want something sweet, with a nice little cleansing cry, I turn--over and over again--to Truly, Madly, Deeply. I have never met anyone who likes this movie, too. Of course, I've met very few people who have ever heard of it! At least on this side of the pond... Alan Rickman and Juliet...

    "Doctor Who," He's Back and it's About Time!

    I agree Smith is a bit Tennant-y. But I think he'll grow on me and come into his own. I, personally, prefer the doctors to be quite different, like Tennant was from Eccleston, and Davidson was from Baker. I find that exciting to watch how they will develop a new character yet keep him the same...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Watched the new Doctor Who last night. I think he'll grow on me, but the companion bugs me... she seems to over act or something. But I'll give her more of a chance. Thought his style was a bit on the "David Tennant side." But hey... there are worse influences! Sadly, I fear an era has passed...
