I still have a jacket of hers that I saved and has the broad shoulders and narrow waist. I use to wear it back in the nineties but now my waist has expanded and I can't button it. It's still in good condition! They just don't make clothes like that anymore. Also, thank you for visiting my post on the rope covered glass and your lovely comments. I enjoyed making the little lavender flowers and you wouldn't believe how easy they were to make. I should be posting a how-to at the end of this week. Btw, your knitting is absolutely adorable!Gail @Purple Hues and Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17563652510435031148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6835785024084523237.post-60498469288018483472014-10-25T21:25:03.802-07:002014-10-25T21:25:03.802-07:00I still think "make do and mend" is a gr...I still think "make do and mend" is a great idea. I guess because I was born just as the war ended, my parents always practiced that. When I was first married, I mended my husbands work socks. I don't any more, but I know how! :) What fun additions to you sewing room the vintage post cards will make. grammajudybhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00562284172505849145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6835785024084523237.post-58042194642336498242014-10-25T14:04:43.581-07:002014-10-25T14:04:43.581-07:00What a fascinating exhibit!

I recently read a book that takes place in the English countryside during WWII (War Brides by Helen Bryan), and "Make Do and Mend" was mentioned many times. You might enjoy the story.<br />Sandy <a href="http://sandranachlinger.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">@Texas Twang</a>Sandra Nachlingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16906884446237370105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6835785024084523237.post-78725592640177175512014-10-25T09:24:09.867-07:002014-10-25T09:24:09.867-07:00I love old postcards.

I think it's because my parents and grandparents lived through World War II and I was fortunate to hear all of their stories. This is wonderful. Thank you for sharing this with us.

I loved going into her closet and exploring the clothes, and even trying them on.
