Goin' Retro (In Photo, anyway)





If you go to http://www.faceinhole.com/ you will find hundreds of pictures, and easy instructions of how to take a picture off the computer of yourself and fit it into the hole in the face of the picture you choose. I did a lot of brides and retro characters, etc. I have a color version of this, but the skin coloring of our faces are so different than the necks of the original picture, that the black and white looked a lot more authentic. It didn't hurt that my hubby has darker skin like Ricky. lol. GO HAVE FUN! Be a mermaid or a cowboy or a superhero or a covergirl or a pinup or hundreds more!

BOMBSHELL DRESSES!












OHHHHH MYYY GOODNESSS! I never thought I'd see the day that the dramatic dresses of the 50s and 60s would come back into style. I need to learn to sew again, because I don't know if I'll ever find one my size or be able to afford one my size. I'd also make them a bit more modest.

Lemonade Made the OLD Fashioned Way!


I am a lemon maniac. Anything with the smell or taste of lemons, I'd love it. I collect any household or kitchen ornaments, utensils, towels, etc. with lemons on it. Obviously I love retro and vintage things as well, so when a blog mate posted this antique recipe of how they used to make lemonade (carbonated, no less!) I just had to post a link to it. Click here. Thanks Kathleen!

HAPPY CANADA DAY!

Too bad animated pics work only in the sidebar, not in the posts,
because this sparkles and glitters.
God bless my online friends. I'm so grateful for you and for
this wonderful country I'm in.
Blessings, Sheila

BEING A LADY, NOT JUST A FEMALE

When I was a little girl walking down the sidewalk with my grandmother, I said "Look at that lady!" She said "Call her a woman. We are not sure yet if she is a lady or not." Being a lady meant that she had been raised in a moral and pleasing manner, with etiquette and graciousness and other nurturing qualities.
Have you ever wished you knew how to be like the feminine, charming ladies that are in the old movies? Have you ever wondered why they move differently, how they dress so charmingly, how they have manners and poise and graciousness? Do you think they were born that way? They weren't. They had to learn these things from finishing schools, etiquette classes, poise classes, girls' schools, modeling schools. Now you can learn these things again, how to bring out your charms and gifts of being a lady.

Up until about 1975, there were books written about how to sit, stand, walk, use your hands gracefully, how to deal with manners and difficult situations, grooming, and everything that separates us from the male race, but those books are almost impossible to find these days, and when I looked for some for my own girls, or looked online, I found many lessons on how a cross-dresser could be more feminine, but that same teacher would not take on girls or ladies to teach THEM the same skills!
Our world has changed so much, that if a space ship visited earth in 1975, then came back today, they might say "Oops, this is not the right planet. Nothing is the same except that there are still humans, animals and homes and cars, but they think and act completely different, their society is completely different."
If you know of more sites that deal with being more feminine, or being a better wife, mother and homemaker, feel free to share them with me in your comments, and I will consider adding them to my blog.
Blessings!
