Re: [h-cost] Domestic Sewing Machine Disaster Ads

My mother was a young military wife in the early 50s; she bought a machine on time from a traveling salesman, and earned a goodly amount of pin money for the time by altering uniforms, sewing on stripes and patches, etc, in addition to sewing for herself and (later) children. A number of her

Re: [h-cost] least favorite hat

I heard the answer to this one on Fox News, of all places - the hats are worn at such weird angles to make the obligatory cheek-kissing possible. Apparently one lady didn't get the memo, and her hat angled the wrong way... Liadain Practical Blackwork Designs http://practicalblackwork.com

Re: [h-cost] Is this real or not?

Dead photography wasn't that unusual down south, at least - though it does seem to mostly have been children (often posed as if alive in mother's or siblings's arms eeew or in a little chair or cradle; most adults I've seen were laid out or in their casket. Money for photographers was scarce,
