    Downton Abbey - I'm hooked

    Been loving it so far, I've seen all but the Christmas special I think, though I have no idea if I can wait until September for the 3rd season/series!

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Had some Big Bang Theory and Keen Eddie fun last night, too bad I rarely finish an episode of anything I'm watching. :/

    New ‘Vintage Dressmaker’ collection – A homage to the 1930s

    How do I go about finding this person, so that I can kill them and steal all those lovely clothes? Hmm, I might have given too much of my evil plan away... *reads over what I wrote* Nope, still good.

    Reproduction 1930s Suits (although that's a matter of opinion ...)

    I'm by no means an expert on suits from the period, but I've seen quite a few of the non-zoot variety that looked like this, my grandfather wore suits that looked a lot like this - I should see if I can't find some photos! The model for the suits really throws me off, though, the facial hair...

    Does your body change every 7 years?

    I'd always heard it was your skin and/or tissue that had a 7 year growth cycle? Might be wrong?

    Motherhood & the Vintage Lifestyle

    I get that, too! I used to have my hair start to grease up on me the day I washed it, now it doesn't even start to look greasy until day 4-ish depending on the weather (in this humidity, I'm glad I can make it to day 3!). I was told that would happen, I read that would happen, but somehow I...

    Motherhood & the Vintage Lifestyle

    I agree, that's one thing I hear a lot from those who don't style their hair in a vintage way but like the idea, "Well, I could never do that because I don't have the kind of time that you obviously have." - granted, that was a bitter reenactment of the many times I've been told that someone...

    do you have many friends?

    Really agree!

    Xyitol yes (not a fan), not Agave though but I've heard of it.

    Weight loss options

    djd - I'm a big fan of green tea (all kinds of teas, this is a big tea family) but it's far too mild to even use with this water without something mixed into it so I generally turn to just a touch of honey or some lemon because I really can't stand green or white tea too sweet, and prefer...

    Reminiscing in the Modern Era

    I really agree! LizzieMaine - Maybe it's the places we live? There's a girl a few years younger than me who's got 5 and one of them is a bit of a foul mouth, and he has to hold soap in his mouth if he starts being a butt.

    Reminiscing in the Modern Era

    I've noticed this and been party to it, being 31 myself I noticed my own friends and I start this sort of thing in our mid twenties. Things changed so quickly, but I wonder if it feels that quick for every generation? I remember people Good Old Days-ing about the 70s in the 80s. I think some day...

    Golden Era Passtimes / Hobbies

    I sew, I cook, I garden and read. And now and then I watch a movie or play records. I really love candy making. I love the nuance of it, trying to do it without a candy thermometer is a challenge! I'm actually about to go make some fudge while dinner cooks from an heirloom recipe, and I think I...

    Two paintings of my mother from the late 40's.

    Hair envy!

    What's something modern you won't miss when it becomes obsolete?

    That looks like fun, but I would KILL myself!

    Retro-extremists? What are we called?

    It's very much the same for me. My mother was, for lack of a better and more polite term, absent for much of my childhood and my sister and I were more or less raised by our grandparents. We were raised with simple, sane concepts (like make do and mend, table manners, hard work, etc.) and then...

    Grease

    I don't think that necessarily was the initial message, it always seemed to lean more towards do what you have to do to be with the one you want. Not too fond of that message, either, but Danny was in the same boat (albeit he already acted/dressed like a tramp - I don't hate it, lol), ready to...

    songs that make you shiver/cry

    Big fan of Don's actually. ;)

    Weight loss options

    I can't stand the taste of no and low cal sweeteners, so I just opted to cut what I was using. My big issue with drinks is that water where I live, even if you filter it, tastes awful (very metallic, makes you nauseated if you're not used to it, sometimes smells a little like sewage or chlorine...
