What To Wear On A Cruise - Vintage of Course

If I were invited on another cruise, I would have my shoes on, and suitcase in hand before you could finish your question. Destination wouldn't matter. Cruises are fabulous!

There is nothing like the food, the fun, the excursions, the food, the scenery, the buffet, the Ship entertainment, the formal dinners, the Ship theater, the 24 hour food court, waking up to different ports in different towns, the late night coffee and desert bar, only unpacking once, having your bed turned down with chocolates and orchids on your pillow and a menu to select what you want to eat the next day.

Did I mention food? Its fabulous! It doesn't matter if you hit the buffet or have dinner with the captain, There is no bad food on a cruise.

Your entire trip will be exciting. If you are lucky enough to be going on a cruise this year, make sure you pack formal for dinner as required on most ships, take wrinkle free clothing as well as versatile. Things you can mix and match so you can pack less items and have room in your suitcase to bring home treasures from every port!

Vintage Pretties New With Tags Lingerie Perfect for Gift Giving

It always amazes me to find vintage items, new never worn. The manufacturer tags still attached, hanging from a sleeve just as it was when it was purchased 40+ years ago. How can someone possess such beautiful items and never enjoy or wear them?

Possibly, the recipient received more items as gifts than they could wear in a lifetime! My grandmother always wore dresses. Always. pants were just not an option. For gift occasions, we always gave her slips or flannel nightgowns. The nightgowns were hard to find unless we bought vintage.. she was set in her ways and only wore certain cotton flannel ones not available today.. And of course, she had tons of slips with the original tags on them.

You have to admit, it makes an even nicer gift ~ not only are you giving the ultimate in recycling, the bonus is better quality fabric, superior construction and often designs, incredible laces and trims just not found in today's garments! A gift you can be proud to give, and hopefully the tags cut and the item enjoyed!

Here are just a few of the Vintage Items I have new with tags, more coming daily!
