I bought four--- I had twelve in my cart at one time. I know... When we were at the exclusive Club 33 at Disneyland my hubby bought a $25 dollar coffee mug. Who does that? While he was over the moon with the mug-- I was over the moon with the vellum like tissue paper stamped with Club 33 in gold...... The paper had wrinkles in it.... *sigh* so I had to wrinkle all of it to match. Then I ironed it flat-- I think it ended up looking like wrinkled linen.
If you're going to do some holiday shopping today, you might as well go in style. Here, a double-breasted leopard jacket trimmed with red fox fur by Traina-Norell, 1954. Of course, it is no longer legal to buy or sell furs from endangered species whether vintage or not, and we are not advocating such. But, there are wonderful quality faux furs available today and we hope you'll use this photo as inspiration to look your best today and every day.
Ah, the confusion that surrounds the simple act of making introductions! Yes, there are proper etiquette rules when you are introducing one person to another. The primary thing to keep in mind is to always mention the name of the woman or the most important person first. For example: "Jane, may I present Jim Jones?" Then follow with, "Jim, this is Jane Jackson." Or "Senator Davis, may I present Darlene Smith?" Then follow with, "Darlene, this is Senator Davis."
1. A man is always presented to a woman first, as in the example above.
2. A noticeably younger person is always presented to an older person. "Mr. Older, may I present Miss Teenager."
When introducing yourself, simply say, "Hello, I am Ruth Smith." If an acquaintance seems to have forgotten your name or an earlier introduction, don't cause possible embarrassment by saying, "Remember me?" Instead, give your name and mention the place where you met, such as, "Hello! I'm Ruth Smith. We met at Bob Brown's party a couple of months ago."
I'm thankful for all my dear readers who come here each day to share a bit of my world.
I'm thankful for the online friends I've made who also enjoy vintage fashion.
I'm thankful that I have a place to share things the that I am passionate about.
I'm thankful that you "get" me, that you understand, and that you love the same things I do.
