How to choose a Handbag - Vintage Couture











I ran across this in a vintage Home Economics book from the 1960's. It is how to choose your handbag based on your body type. Some good information. Me -- I love a compact bag as well as a great oversized bag. What kind do you love? Oh, and how many do you have?

4th of July -- Red Flip Flops - Rag-Tied Flip Flops




Nothing to wear this 4th of July. How about a pair of red Flip Flops. Havianna makes a great pair. You can also find an off-brand at Target, Wal-Mart, as well as Old Navy.

Or -- Make some Rag-Tied Fabric Flip Flops

Directions below are from Michaels.com http://www.michaels.com- Torn Fabric Flip Flops
Make a snip in the fabric about 1 inch from side and tear the length (it will tear easier one way than the other so if it’s hard, try another side) - you can also cut fabric with shears if you would prefer.

Cut each strip in half.

Tie onto flip flop straps, pushing knots close together.

Pull all strips forward so knots are lined up evenly and the strips lay nicely. Trim off all excess strings.




The more fabric the fuller and the better!!




What are you waiting for?

Decoupage a Desk or Chair in Sewing Patterns




Decoupage was fashionable in the 1970's and 1980's. Well it is fashionable again. All you fashionistas could use old patterns or even vintage fabric to decoupage a desk or chair. Mod Podge is now used instead of the good old fashioned Elmers we used to use back in the day. So give it a try.

Haviannas - Flip Flops - Summer Sandals






Nothing says summer like Flip Flops. Remember the old fashioned ones you got at the grocery store. Well now remember them called Haviannas. They have the same line - wheat style pattern on the sandal that you remember from your youth. Also, they are the same squishy comfy felling flip flop you knew. Here in the southwest you can find them at Urban Outfitters. They also have a website and are plentiful on Ebay. So grab a pair or two. They are great.
