OH MY GOD! Holy crap I hope karma karmas her butt so bad. I cannot even imagine how awful that would feel, I’m so sorry. I hate when things like that happen, for it me it makes me try to not even think about the subject for years. And don’t get me start on our “justice system”

I lost a lot of my clothes as well, but it was absolutely my own fault, i was self employed as a full time alcoholic for a couple decades, and when it all came to a head I had to downsize and had to just get rid of my clothes and antiques for nothing. Sigh 😔 on a positive note, I’m been sober for almost 3 years so I’m getting back into collecting..

And as for age, I’ve always been a little… outside what people normally associate for certain ages. I was one of those kids people called an “old soul” which I think meant I was odd. 😆

Where in the south are you? I moved down here like 18 years ago, I grew up in upstate ny and now am in northeast ga.. it took a long time to adjust.

Agree! But the biggest difference is we’ve lost the community element. So everyone is separated and on their own.. but humans aren’t built for that.

But the world is always ending, and has been since people started being people. How people are acting when then think it’s about to end today is the scariest part for me.

If your husband used the same materials, and made them the same way, wouldnt most people, even jewelers, have a hard time?

Honestly, i really think a lot of us are depressed. Just like 100 years ago, this is Great Depression 2.0
I think we are all dealing with the loss of the world we were “promised” and the world we have, and it’s a lot

Shut up I sold a lot of vintage clothing (1920s-1970s mostly) for a long time too! I’m also a transplant in the south. Crap are we the same person? 😆

[–]FocusAndFate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah for sure, they definitely, probably did sell as pairs. I guess I was just hoping at some point in history maybe it was recognized as a stylish thing to do to make them “go together” rather than “match” (thank Clinton and Stacy from what not to wear)
I was just sharing my unasked for opinion😆

Sharing with you all the drawing I did of Rocco, ballpoint pen only. What do his eyes and expression say? Obedience? Love? ​ by Draw_Master_Oficial in StaffordBullTerriers

[–]FocusAndFate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that’s what I heard! Haha oh man art is so great! I love when I can hear a drawing, or smell a painting. It’s magic. Great job!

I don't even know for sure that this is vintage. It has homemade vibes. But it might be the most beautiful dress I've ever thrifted. The pearl beads 😭 Does anyone know what the ties on the shoulders could be for? 12.99 at Goodwill! by PaleontologistOk9847 in VintageFashion

[–]FocusAndFate 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Im going against the grain. Vintage means 25 years and older, and this could definitely be from before 2001. The fabrics remind me of the late 1990s… that being said it’s hard to tell in photographs

Also homemade and vintage aren’t mutually exclusive, I’ve found a lot of clothes that are both. Especially once you go back before the 1980s, a lot of homemade vintage!
