<br />
Recently, I was at an antique shop and saw some lovely embroidered and embellished pillows with faces or silhouettes of beautiful ladies on them. I have always enjoyed sketching female faces and portraits. Add that to my love of embroidery and you have extreme inspiration! I have started one of my own, which is pictured first.<br />

I wanted to my girl to be very elegant with an element of flora or nature. Her soft green headband has a small bouquet of lilies-of-the-valley and violets. I also made her be a redhead, of course.</div>
<br />
Whether they are depicted as Southern Belles in a garden, a flapper with her modern bobbed hair and expressive face, or a mademoiselle of the late 18th century, I absolutely adore them. Here are some photos for inspiration.<br />

I wonder, when you see old sewing patterns that have tears and are dangling in pieces like a well-loved rag doll, do you wish they had been taped to prevent further wear? Or should they be left alone, kept pure, even if it means an unusable pattern?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
As an owner of an Etsy shop, selling vintage patterns, in rough shape or not, I am not sure what to do when it comes to this issue. What do you prefer? Personally, I don't mind them being taped if it means saving a pattern from a DIY project or trash bin. But there are some tape jobs that are quite repulsive, however. I believe, if done tastefully, taping should happen.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br />
Recently, when checking over patterns for completeness, I came across a pattern for a beachy ensemble. This pattern's envelope had the front detached from the back, with numerous rips, one being on the cover, starting from the top left to down right, about 3" long, about a third of the pattern. When looking at the pattern pieces, one of the shorts pieces had been folded and pinned together, not neatly mind you, and upon unpinning, I discovered that this shorts piece had been ripped across the hip, from one end to the other. Like a rogue amputation.<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
From that point on, I decided to pull the pattern from my possible inventory, grabbed my iron and some tape (Most will advise you to use acid free tape, to prevent the yellowing that comes from most household tape), and began trying to perform pattern CPR. I also got the envelope carefully taped back together from the inside. The rips are still visible on the outside, but are secured from behind to prevent any more wear.<br />

So, have you struggled with this or had this predicament? Please share your thoughts.</div>

Hello, dear readers. I know I have been AWOL, but it is for good reason. As most of you that appreciate vintage know, Winter is not a season in which there are rummage sales, estate sales, etc., (maybe for western and southern states) hence the reason for no monthly purchase posts recently.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've always thought it would be neat to have a space at a flea market, a booth at an antique shop, anything to do with sharing and selling vintage. Well, this past fall, I looked through my stash of vintage patterns, linens, books and jewelry, amongst my other treasures to see if I even had enough to have a shop of sorts. I do! But what about rotating inventory, keeping it fresh? Yes, I think so. But, should I attempt this adventure? Can I handle it? What if I am not doing it right? How do I know if I am legally cooperating?!<b> IRS, Debt, Fines, oh my!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yikes. I got the information I needed to do things correctly, and did a lot of research. Now, I am ready, and have opened a shop on Etsy! If you have seen one of my purchases that you liked, maybe it will be available.</div>

Hello everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since it has been a while since I've done a post about my personal vintage style, I thought I should do another post on my hair and how I set it. Especially because it is a bit different from <a href="http://eviestearoom.blogspot.com/2013/01/how-i-do-my-hair.html" target="_blank">the last hair post I did</a>; my hair is longer than it was and I am using <span style="text-align: start;">1</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; text-align: start;">¼</span>" pink rollers, rather than 1" black ones.<br />
I didn't use any products other than Pantene shampoo & conditioner and Tresemme hairspray.<br />
<br /></div>

Brush!<br />
If you have an idea of how you want your hair to look, keep in mind it may have ideas of it's own. If it's being temperamental, just let it do what it wants and work with it.<br />

When I like the way a wave or curl is moving, I hold it with a clip and spray.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I remove the clip when the hairspray is dry or when I'm finished styling.</div>

This past weekend my family and I went to the Dalton Flea & Farmer's Market in Dalton, WI!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was the second time we've been to this particular event </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and we always bring home some great finds.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think it was a rather large turnout compared to earlier this year, which meant more great stuff to see and new people to meet!</div>

I just thought I'd share a lovely outfit I wore last weekend while shopping! My mom thought my outfit looked very Shelagh Turner (previously Sister Bernadette) from Call The Midwife. My glasses are for reading and computer work, but I ended up wearing them outside for these pictures to enhance the 'Shelagh' look. The windy weather actually worked out in my favor for this outfit (This is what happens when you live a few hours away from the windy city, Chicago!) which created a wonderful swirly effect on the skirt. The colors in this outfit are also very Shelagh; the muddy brown cardigan and skirt, creamy yellow blouse and rusty tone in the oxford heels. So, without further ado, here is the Shelagh ensemble!</div>

</div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hello Everyone!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I was nominated by Abigail of <a href="http://sweetergetsthejourneyblog.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Sweeter Gets The Journey</a> for my 3rd Liebster award! Thank you, Abigail!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">If you've never </span>received this award, this is what you do:</b><br />
Answer the 11 questions your nominator gives you.<br />
Think of 11 facts about yourself.<br />
Nominate others, preferably those with under 200 followers.<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Here are the questions Abigail gave for me to answer.</b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">1. <i>Do you play any instruments? If not, what would you like to play?</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I do not know how to play any instruments. I've been asked a similar question in my previous award and said ukulele, but I would also like to play the trumpet.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">2. <i>What would you do with a billion dollars?</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I would give a great majority to charity, like Autism research and childhood cancer research. With the remaining money, I would give some to my parents and brother, and buy a cottage with a screened porch by a lake.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I would love to go to northern Poland or England.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">4. <i>What is your vintage dream car?</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hello everyone! I'm so happy to share some great news with you. I have officially reached 10,000 views! It was only last January I shared that I reached <a href="http://eviestearoom.blogspot.com/2013/01/ive-reached-3000-views.html" target="_blank">3,000 views</a> and was absolutely thrilled. That means </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">I've reached more than twice that amount in a little over a year! I am so grateful to have your support.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Thank you!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hi!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
March has come and nearly gone now, and among the many events this month was my 19th birthday. A nice lunch with Mom and shopping has become a tradition. My family is never one to throw huge parties or make it a big deal, thank goodness. A simple card and hug is great. If you think about it, every day, hour, minute, second, is a birthday. You are constantly getting older, and to some it may feel dreadful, but think about it this way; Everyday you Grow. Learn. Understand. Overcome. Change. Believe. You live! You don't need a giant venue, seating for 200 or even cake (Well, everyone wants cake) to celebrate a birthday! To quote The Beatles, all you need is love.</div>

Hello! I thought I'd do a quick little outfit post. Nothing special, but at least it's something! When warmer weather rolls around, I want to be out more and take pictures. I also want to take outfit pictures without a coat on! This particular day last week we went to an exhibit featuring ornate floral arrangements that were created locally. It was beautiful, but didn't help my longing for gardening and soil on my hands! Since the last weekend in February, I've had bronchitis, so I wasn't able to fully smell the wonderful aromas from the arrangements. Unfortunately my Mom and Brother managed to get it, too. After this exhibit, we went to an exhibit featuring Tiffany stained glass windows and other Tiffany creations. The process of making stained glass windows is fascinating and I would love to try it someday.</div>

Hello everyone, I hope you are all staying warm. I'm trying to! I'm looking forward to March, not only because of rising temps (if Mother Nature is on schedule) but also because it's my birthday month! The weather where I live has been very cold and doesn't seem to want to leave. We are way below our average high. Who wants to go outside and take pictures for outfit posts?! I love blogging, but I depend on good backgrounds, scenery and weather, but currently have neither. I hope you all understand. As for right now Pinterest, family and my cat are my companions. I'm having technical difficulties with blog pictures, so to see my purchases, go to my Evie's Tea Room board on my <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/eviestearoom/" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">Pinterest</span></a>.</div>

Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This weekend I attended a Downton Abbey themed party at the local Barnes & Noble bookstore. It featured tea, cookies, trivia, as well as a hat and costume contest! I had a wonderful time with all the other ladies that attended and had fun bonding over all things Downton. I had fun putting together my ensemble for the event, trying to match the upcoming season, which is the early 1920's.</div>

Though not necessary, I tried to make my look as accurate as I could. I chose to wear a black dress with black embroidery and a black cloche with a felt flower. I accessorized with a long peach colored pearl necklace and my peach beaded handbag. Because my dress hem was above my knees, (unacceptable in these circumstances!) I wore a black skirt underneath the dress so my hem was at an acceptable length, mid-calf. Another benefit of the skirt underneath was that it gave the dress a tiered effect, which was somewhat common at the time. When we chose the nominees for the contests, I was lucky enough to win the costume contest and a trivia contest! It was a tie with another woman with a fantastic outfit. She also won the hat contest, which was well deserved. For the prizes, I won a photo album and canister of tea.</div>
