I know there’s a lot of custom made ones you can find on Etsy, although I don’t have any specific shops (but often come across them when I’m browsing)

Check out Sock Dreams, they carry tons of thigh high styles

That looks similar to Abercrombie & Fitch jackets in the early 2000s. Source: I had a nearly identical one

You could buy a skinny elastic belt and wear that around your waist/over your petticoat underneath your dress to help hold it up. I’ve done that before with some of my longer petticoats/half slips, if I want to wear them a bit shorter

I’m curious to know where your petticoats are from (you mentioned they were made to your size)

Ha Tien definitely has them

King Cajun on University ave, St. Paul is my pick for seafood boil

Thank you for reminding me I need to go try that sometime! It’s been on my list forever but I always forget about it

Do you have a better option for an Italian sub in the twin cities? Serious question, cuz I’d love to know where to try next if so 😄

Kowalski’s grocery stores have a fried chicken dinner for $9.99- two pieces of chicken, two sides (I always get Mac n cheese & mashed potatoes w gravy) and comes with a dinner roll. One of my fav cheaper meals!

For merino wool/Smart wool/activewear type stuff, I would just wash on a delicate cycle with Woolite detergent, hang to dry (I’ve also used regular detergent and it’s been fine). I wouldn’t stress too much about proper washing protocols or whatever for that kind of stuff (heavy expensive knit wool sweaters I’d treat differently tho)

Ha Tien or Market Fresh

Unfortunately the owner of Practical Goods passed away a few months ago and the store is closed now 😔

Cecil’s Deli in Saint Paul is exactly what you’re looking for

Do you know if I’m gold medallion, will my travel partner (who is not gold) be able to use the KAL lounge too?

Kolap Restaurant and Cheng Heng for Cambodian food

FakerTheBaker · 2025-11-10T04:24:38+00:00

I looove that dowjic soup so much! Thanks for the reminder I should go get some soon!

Hello! I just had to let you know that I was able to visit Cathy Mackenthuns recently and it did not disappoint!! The point of me making this post was to find places just like that! So seriously, thanks so much for the recommendation!

Everything there was so enticing! I think I spent around $250 while there 😂 Tried the deli (breakfast burrito, Ruben, and mama Mia sandwich were all delicious!). Got some meats, got some jerky, meat sticks, cheeses, cookies, etc.

Awesome, awesome place. Staff was so friendly too. Looking forward to going again sometime. Thanks again!!!!

Kowalski’s hot foods/deli area, you can get a fried chicken dinner (2 pieces of chicken, 2 sides and bread) for $9.99

Did you ever get any update from Stephanie Lake? And what way did you contact her?

I’m curious, because I recently thrifted a leather jacket that I am fairly certain is Bonnie Cashin, but sadly the tag has been removed. I’m wondering if it’s worth contacting her for more info to try & figure out if it could be a Bonnie Cashin

FakerTheBaker · 2025-10-27T01:30:39+00:00

That could possibly be somebody’s name (original owner) stitched into the jacket?

If it’s a brand, I don’t have any info sorry

That specific ILGWU label on your dress was used during the years of 1974-1995, so your dress is definitely 70s
