I am so busy today, rearranging my husbands new study and making room for the dinning room makeover. I will be back with a regular post tomorrow, I promise, but for now you can check out my Time Warp Wives interview by following the link. Just scroll down and it should be open to the page. Enjoy and let me know what you think, I actually haven't read over it yet, if you can believe it, too busy. Until tomorrow, then.
Happy Homemaking!
Oh! I think they did a really nice job of portraying you and what you are doing with your life this year. I love your photos on their page, too!
ReplyDeleteI guess I missed the part where you told everyone you were almost 6' tall! I would guess that it is hard to find pantyhose to fit you!
Also, I would like to know where you got your rolled-up capri-length jeans. Finding jeans which fit my curves the right way is just always so depressing.
I see they left in the bit about my having 'Gussie' which of course, is no longer true. I only had her a day a week anyway, and now it is just me, so I wonder if they can fix that bit. It is not as if it matters, but I guess I want credit for all the cleaning and cooking I do now!
ReplyDeleteI also love Mr. Blandings Builds his Dream House. Myrna Loy is so elegant, but funny. (bicker, bicker, bicker--lol)
ReplyDeleteSince you mentioned manicures in the interview, I have a question for you...when I was a kid (in the 70's) my grandma would paint her nails, but always leave the half-moons unpainted. Looking at my nails now, I can hardly see my half-moons, because the cuticles are in the way. (I've let myself go, I guess!)
Anyway, is the half-moon fashion a 50's thing? Have you run across this ever?

I wanted to ask you if you have a copy of Mrs Beeton's Household Management?
ReplyDeleteI'm reading the e-book version, which might be something you want to avoid but I have a feeling that women from the 1950's would know of the Victorian housewife manual.
The interview is great. I'm adding them to my favourites list.
I love how you're not stuck in the past but use your experience from 'living in the 50s' to look forward and make a better future. The interview is great and very inspiring!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're having a good weekend!
Donna- Your interview was great. Very polished and intelligent, just like your posts here. And us regulars understand the Gussie misunderstanding. :)

I read the article today, and thought it was great! That's a great site and I'm looking forward to reading some of the other articles.
ReplyDeleteGREAT interview!!! :) And good luck on starting a vintage club! I wish you lived in my neighbourhood - I would LOVE to join it! :)
ReplyDeleteSanne-I know it would be such fun. I think I won't really think about it until late summer, when I am more set up with my yard and the 'club house' is more pleasing to be in and not just a storage area of forgotten furniture and rugs.
