If you love thrift stores and garage sales, this is the column for you. Theres gold in them thar hillssewing gold! Change your perspective a little and look at the world as one big fabric store and youll find all kinds of treasures to add to your stash.
Have a closet full of old bridesmaid or prom dresses? Use them to make a quilt or a patchwork pillow. Give the bride a memento from her wedding by printing her wedding details on a piece of printable fabric. Then, use fabrics, trims, and even petticoat tulle from the bridesmaid dresses (or even the brides dress if you have scraps from alterations) to artfully dress a pillow she can keep always. Give your daughter a memento of her highschool dances with a quilt made with fabric from her dresses. Create an appliqu of a dress to put in each square using the fabric from her gowns.
Handkerchiefs, gloves, scarves, bandanas, lace linens. When I was a child, we had to have a new embroidered handkerchief and a pair of white gloves every Easter. Sew these mementos into projects to create an artistic memoir. Trims can often be pricey when new, so take them off of old garments or lingerie and reuse them. Make a dress from a vintage pillow case or from a bandana.
Used Clothing Thrift Items. Find tablecloths with embroidery or lace to transformmany vintage linens were made with handmade lace. Use old straw hats as forms to create fancy dressup bonnets. Use old jeans to make trendy handbags. Find old craft or knitting kits and use the threads and yarns to create decorative trims for your projects. Remove the back and insides of an old stuffed fabric doll or toy, and use the front or profile for a cute appliqu on jeans. Silk or lace from wedding gowns can be removed and used for other sewing projects, and the tulle from underskirts can be remade into pettiskirts. Take a blouse from your closet that you havent worn (but cant bear to give away) and use it to create a camisole or a fabric belt.
Robes Terrycloth. Cut worn parts from old robes or towels and sew them together to make a fun shower curtain (use with a liner). Vintage chenille is fun to use for stuffed toys.
Buttons, Beads Jewelry. If you have an old jacket with great buttons, consider taking the buttons off to reuse them. Find beaded sweaters or jackets, old jewelryeven shoes and disassemble to reclaim the beads and findings. Remove belts from cool belt buckles and attach a new fabric belt. Reuse hardware from old purses to make new ones. Frequently, hardware is expensive to buy new but remains undamaged on used pieces.
Scraps. Be sure to use those scraps of fabric for small projects like appliqu, scrapbooking, patchwork, hair clips, stuffed toys, and embellishments.

1. Safety begins when you pack. To avoid being a target, dress conservatively. Don’t wear expensive looking jewelry. A flashy wardrobe or one that is too casual can mark you as a tourist. As much as possible, avoid the appearance of affluence.
2. Always try to travel light. You can move more quickly and will be more likely to have a free hand. You will also be less tired and less likely to set your luggage down, leaving it unattended.
3. Carry the minimum amount of valuables necessary for your trip and plan a place or places to conceal them. Your passport, cash and credit cards are most secure when locked in a hotel safe. When you have to carry them on your person, you may wish to conceal them in several places rather than putting them all in one wallet or pouch. Avoid handbags, fanny packs and outside pockets that are easy targets for thieves. Inside pockets and a sturdy shoulder bag with the strap worn across your chest are somewhat safer. One of the safest places to carry valuables is in a pouch or money belt worn under your clothing.
4. If you wear glasses, pack an extra pair. Bring them and any medicines you need in your carryon luggage.
5. To avoid problems when passing through customs, keep medicines in their original, labeled containers. Bring copies of your prescriptions and the generic names for the drugs. If a medication is unusual or contains narcotics, carry a letter from your doctor attesting to your need to take the drug. If you have any doubt about the legality of carrying a certain drug into a country, consult the embassy or consulate of that country first.
6. Bring travelers checks and one or two major debitcredit cards instead of cash.
7. Pack an extra set of passport photos along with a photocopy of your passport information page to make replacement of your passport easier in the event it is lost or stolen.
8. Put your name, address and telephone numbers inside and outside of each piece of luggage. Use covered luggage tags to avoid casual observation of your identity or nationality. If possible, lock your luggage.
9. Consider getting a telephone calling card. It is a convenient way of keeping in touch. If you have one, verify that you can use it from your overseas location(s). Access numbers to U.S. operators are published in many international newspapers. Find out your access number before you go.
10. Check with TSA or your local airlines to see if there are any restrictions like liquids, lighters, matches, etc. These rules change often so check before you go.

Either adventure in handbags shopping can be fun and enjoyable. Knowing what you are looking for is the key to finding what you are ultimately looking for.
Just be practical?
A worse headline for handbag shopping could possibly not be thought of. A handbag afterall is a personal and distinctive item. It says quite a bit about whom you are and what youre all about. Unfortunately, there is a certain amount of necessity in the statement if youre going to have everything you need for your day at your fingertips when you need it.
Stylish yet practical
There is nothing to say that if you do a little shopping you cannot find a handbag that is stylish yet practical. When you go about your shopping for this type of bag, simply cut down on the number of options that you are thinking about for an every bay bag. Place style at the top of your list and organization in second spot. You will, however, still want a mobile pocket and possibly an interior zip pocket for theft and just a little organizational reference.
I dont want practical or organized
Lets just face facts, some people just need to carry everything and want one big space to carry their stuff in. In this case, consider a bit stiffer bag that wont sag quite as much. You will also want to shop with a cell pocket in mind at the top of the main compartment. You can search for the keys or lipstick but you will want quick access to the mobile.
Investment grade
Practical and stylish may be one part of handbag shopping but possibly you have a few other ideas when it comes to handbags. Buying a handbag for a night on the town only requires space for a lipstick, compact and mobile. When this is the case, and you have the money to spend on a bag, consider a handbag boutique. These shops do very little advertising so youll need to research your local area. In these shops, bags can sell for upwards of 16,000 and are very often limited editions. Function at this point matters very little even if the bag happens to see the light of day more than a few dozen times. Keeping track of whats hot is the key, as so is trusting the person you are doing business with. Knockoffs can very easily be substituted so knowing your stuff is important.
Everything in its place
There are a few elements that will be required in your handbag if you are to keep up. Your requirements may very just a bit but, for the most part, the basics are the same depending upon what the bags main use is meant to accomplish. First off is the main compartment. It needs to be a relatively decent size without getting to the point of making you search through it for a lipstick or pad of paper. If the main compartment is the right size, it will have left room for a another space or two on either side so that papers, purse, compact and other specific items can be sectioned away from where your hand will naturally go for your most used items. Most used items will need their own pocket so that you can go right to them without looking. These pockets are generally reserved for the mobile, keys and purse. Outside pockets are somewhat practical but should be designed in such a way that they are less susceptible to thieves. Even though they are extremely convenient you will not want to put anything of value in them just for this reason.

It’s become standard for anyone wanting a glamorous aura to pick out their dogs like they pick out their shoes. “Ooh I’ll have that darling one in the corner, great color matches my handbag too!”
And they’re easy to find anyone with enough money can pick out the doglet of their dreams.
Perhaps even scarier than the free availability of ‘designer dogs’ is the fact that almost anyone can create a new breed of dog. The sudden increase in dogs as fashion statements has meant that there are many unscrupulous breeders trying to make a quick buck from expensive dogs with cute names.
Unfortunately there are so many risks with these kinds of breeding practices. Anybody can mix any combination of dogs but few can master doing it in a way that is good for the dogs, and the humans who live with them. It’s about much more than genetics. Why create a dog that is very likely to have a painful future?
Imagine that your cute Yorkipoo puppy has a very expensive medical future before them. Or try to imagine that this adorable Puggle that you’ve just brought home might have to have his eyes popped back into their sockets at regular intervals!
Amateur breeders are unleashing all kinds of dangerous conditions upon dogs who are being bred to fit in with our lifestyles.
It can be argued that all dogs came to be as a result of interbreeding. Not only are all purebreds a result of mixing but in fact every single dog today has some history of crossbreeding in their past.
There is a well deserved stigma surrounding these new so called ‘designer mutts’.
Various Pug and Pekingese breeds have very sensitive eyes. Pugs are known to have problematic eyes as are Pekingese. You could end up with a dog whose eyes come out of their sockets. And fixing it could require expensive and painful corrective surgery.
Sounds like something from a horror movie rather than a happy family dog!
What about the mixing of some larger dogs? It can be just as harmful if two genetically inferior specimens are used. You could end up crossing dogs that are plagued by hip dysplasia and land up with a crippled dog.
It’s the lack of predictability that makes these dogs such a risk. You never know what you are getting. And while the odds might be in your favor nobody can guarantee the health of your designer puppy.
The American Kennel Club is considering allowing some of the more established breeds into the list of accepted and recognized breeds. But this process requires some organization on the part of breeders.
In order to be officially recognized there needs to be evidence that the dogs have at least a three generation pedigree. The dog must also be widely spread across the United States across at least 20 states.
Labradoodles are the most well known of the designer dog clubs. Labradoodles are also at the forefront of acceptance into the American Kennel Club. There are some breeders who have at least 15 generations of Labradoodles and claim they can predict with great certainty the look and temperament of the dog. There is much debate in the canine world about whether or not many of these new hybrids will be
Only time will tell whether these dogs will be accepted into the mainstream. Many people are enjoying the benefits of dogs designed to fit in a handbag or dogs designed to live in small spaces.
It’s important to remember that whatever you are looking for in a dog you are looking for in the puppy’s parents too. With these expensive puppies you might be shelling out allot of money for a great disappointment.
Check as much as you can about the mix you are most interested in. Rather leave combinations that you can see might have similar weaknesses. Don’t buy puppies from people who seem to be more interested in your money than the wellbeing of their puppies.
At the end of the day good puppies come from good homes. Knowledge about genetic disorders is as important as warmth and love when it comes to making great pets.
Until designer dogs become more widely recognized it’s best to stick to the more traditional mixes. At least you will know what you are getting.
If a purebred puppy doesn’t really appeal to you why not rather think about buying an adult dog from a shelter. At least this way you can have a bit more certainty about the dogs temperament and looks.
At the end of the day your designer mutt might end up costing you more. If your dog has some suspect heritage you will need many tests to screen for a range of possible ailments. If your dog is your fashion accessory you will be able to enjoy the added advantage of all kinds of colorful accessories for you little mutt.
Whatever you decide giving them a happy home is more important above all else no matter what may come your dog’s way.

One accessory that many women consider a necessity is a handbag. In fact there is such a demand for ladies handbags in the marketplace that the selection just constantly increases. As each new season begins there are dozens of new designs of ladies handbags available.
Every woman has her own sense of style and therefore shell tend to purchase ladies handbags that reflect that. For some women they only buy designer ladies handbags. These particular types of ladies handbags are crafted from the finest materials and carry the names of some of the most celebrated designers in the world. Designer ladies handbags are very expensive but many women view them as a fashion investment.
If you are interested in buying a designer handbag youll need to visit a retailer who sells them. These are generally specialty boutiques.
Another venue for purchasing designer ladies handbags is from online retailers. There are many websites that sell brand name designer ladies handbags and will ship them right to your door. This often affords the consumer the biggest selection and it also allows a chance to compare prices. Its important to be careful when purchasing a quality designer bag in this way because youll want to be wary of imitations.
Going to your local department store is a wonderful place to find a less expensive handbag. Most department stores dont cater to women who are looking for a pricey handbag instead they have a varied selection of reasonably priced and attractive ladies handbags.
One of the most popular types of ladies handbags are those crafted from leather. Leather handbags are available in several different colors. Many women prefer a neutral shade such as brown or black when purchasing a handbag.
Leather can be dyed into many shades though and if you are looking for something unusual in ladies handbags than you might opt for one that is blue or yellow. A handbag in a bright color is a great fashion accessory in the spring or summer.
As many colors of ladies handbags there are, there are just as many styles. Ladies handbags come in over the shoulder designs, small clutches or even a few that can double as a briefcase. Many ladies handbags have detachable handles which gives you a versatile look.
The size of ladies handbags is really dependent on each individual womans preference. Its overpowering for a small woman to carry a handbag that is oversized. Shed want to choose one that is relative to her own size. The same is true for a taller woman when she is browsing the ladies handbag department. A larger style will complement her body frame better.
Having several ladies handbags is a good idea. Its nice to be able to change handbags depending on the occasion or the outfit youre wearing. An evening at the opera will demand a more sophisticated choice in a handbag than going to the movies.
Whatever your preference in ladies handbags is there is sure to be at least one that seems perfect. Purchase a few and make your handbag as much of a fashion accessory as your jewelry.

The Brighton handbag was added to the Brighton line of stylish accessories in 1993. Each Brighton handbag goes through 20 steps during its creation. Upon completion of the process a leather patch, embossed with Brighton’s statement of quality and an individual serial number is added.

Components for some of the handbags are manufactured internationally in countries such as France, Italy, Spain, China, Taiwan, Korea and Japan.
Brighton handbags are handcrafted in California. At no time are there more than ten being made at a time. There is an attention to detail followed as a rule by Brighton craftsmen that is an exception in this industry. For example there is no tag explaining that the ‘marks’ and ’scars’ are your “guarantee” of genuine leatherthey painstakingly cut around the scars to offer you, a flawless leather handbag. Each handbag is individually numbered, and is registered by its owner. Once registered, they are guaranteed. The leathers selected are the best from all over the world, and the hardware all originally created by Brighton artists and craftsmen, sterling silver finished, and protected from oxidation for everyday use.
The Brighton name has become to mean oneofakind jewelry and fine Italian leather articles that are adorned with exquisite silverplated ornamentation. Brighton’s heart logo fits the company philosophy that the difference in products is a true attention to detail. Most of the items in the Brighton collection have some unique detail, a message engraved on a bracelet or a Brighton handbag with a favorite photograph, that gives them special meaning to the owner. This then leaves a lasting memory to cherish for a lifetime. This has also led to many women having their own Brighton collection.
Brighton handbags are available in nearly 6,000 specialty stores nationwide and 50 allBrighton stores from coast to coast. Brighton handbags are not sold in department stores or on the Internet.

You may try to save a few bucks by buying a designer handbag replica, but there are several reasons why it makes sense to buy the real thing
1. Although replicas may look like the real thing, the workmanship and quality can’t be compared to the original.
2. Counterfeiters avoid paying taxes since their businesses are generally operated on a cash basis. Citizens like you and I still have to pay.
3. The sale of counterfeit designer goods has been linked to terrorist and gang activity as well as organized crime. Drugs are often smuggled inside counterfeit handbags.
bSpotting a fakeb
There was a time when it was easy to spot a fake misspelled logos, cheap leather and shoddy hardware. Now, fakes are starting to look rather good and its hard to tell the difference. Here’s how to tell whats real and whats not
1. Authentic handbags are purchased from authorized registered dealers. Authentic designer handbags are not sold by street vendors, at home parties, at flea markets, in New York’s Chinatown, in Los Angeles’ Santee Alley, or at mall kiosks.
2. If youre considering a Coach handbag, the companys website provides a list of authorized dealers. Both Coach and Kate Spade give detailed information on spotting replicas of their products.
3. The price. A new Prada handbag will not sell for 50.
4. Country of Origin Labels. The country of origin for Fendi handbags is Italy. If the handbag has a label that says Made in Taiwan, it is not the real thing.
bBuying designer handbags onlineb
If you’re shopping online and find a designer handbag at a price thats hard to pass up, theres a way to tell if you’re getting an authentic product
Read the product description carefully. Some online merchants will lure you into their sites by describing their products as original, authentic or genuine. After reading descriptions, you may find such phrases as inspired by a particular designer. This product isnt authentic and the phrase is used to protect the merchant from trademark infringement.

While there has been many jokes surrounding female drivers, research has shown that less females than males make a claim on their car insurance. As a result of this many specialist insurers are now offering cheaper car insurance and good deals especially aimed at women by way of female car insurance.
There are many advantages to taking out female car insurance along with getting some of the cheapest policies available. Deals with women in mind usually consist of handbag insurance and some form of breakdown covered being added in with the insurance which of course are big bonuses for peace of mind, security and safety. When it comes to female car insurance the main choices for car insurance are fully comprehensive, third party fire and theft and third party only.
Fully comprehensive insurance is of course the most cover you can take out and covers against any repairs to your car and any other if you are the cause of an accident, it also covers against fire and theft and some include liability insurance to an extent. This type of cover as you would expect is the dearest type of insurance, but if you have a brand new car or your car is over a certain amount then it might be the only insurance option available.
Third party fire and theft is cheaper but doesnt give you as much cover, it will safeguard against damage to your car by fire and of course if it should get stolen and will also payout for damage caused to another vehicle in an accident but not to repair your own. Third party only is the cheapest cover available but only covers against damage to the other car or a third party in case of an accident.
There are many insurers that specialise in female car insurance and by using a specialist car insurance broker, you can get several quotes for car insurance particularly aimed at the women which have not only the cheapest premiums but also added extras and bonuses which benefit women drivers.
