Christmas in July Sale and What’s Going on at Chez Lady Virginia…

July 25, 2020 By Lindsay Curren

I hope that everyone out there in #ilovevintagefabric land has been doing well in this extraordinary pandemic. My best advice is to wear those masks, practice physical distancing, stay home whenever possible, but also get fresh air and sunshine every day! I know this is hard on many folks, both those who are working at home and those who aren't. I've worked from home for 25 years so for me … [Read more...] about Christmas in July Sale and What’s Going on at Chez Lady Virginia…

Tea party for a princess

February 17, 2020 By Lindsay Curren

Tea Party

The other day I was looking at a local magazine's take on birthday parties for kids. WOW! Talk about over the top. Apparently gone are the days of cake, ice cream and pin the tail on the donkey. Now it's all about the destination party—a gym, theater, theme park, rock wall climbing, gourmet fondue, paint ball course, build-a-bear, ceramics glazing or whatever. And to be politically correct at … [Read more...] about Tea party for a princess

When ‘frugal’ became a bad word in America

June 3, 2015 By Lindsay Curren

Two incidents recently got me to thinking about how what was once an essential American value — frugality — morphed into a cultural pariah. The first was when I posted on my Facebook page that my hubby and I had made a New Year's resolution to not buy any new clothing during all of 2015. We both enjoy nice clothes, and we purchase worthy stuff — quality over quantitiy — but it's not like we … [Read more...] about When ‘frugal’ became a bad word in America

In praise of the prosaic

September 28, 2012 By Lindsay Curren

Girl Fixing Bike

I feel a bit sheepish coming in to blog for the day. I'm the first one to harp on infrequent so-called "bloggers" as not the real thing. To blog is to be prolific. Anything else is an occasional essayist and, if you're choosing the Internet as your venue for it, you're not even an essayist. Maybe just a venter. This is the kind of stuff marketing for the web will make you say. And it's true, … [Read more...] about In praise of the prosaic

Less is definitely more

January 30, 2012 By Lindsay Curren

Bike Food

It's an oddity of modern life that we consume an immense amount of calories — much of them from empty or sugary carbs — while using our bodies about 90% less than in previous eras due to a sedentary lifestyle. So, more calories in + fewer calories out = fat storage. Is it any wonder that we have a crisis of obesity in the Western world, and in the US in particular? But unless you plan to start … [Read more...] about Less is definitely more

Year round Christmas tree

December 15, 2011 By Lindsay Curren

About ten years ago, when I was a very poor single mom, I had no money to buy a Christmas tree one year. At the time it felt like a bummer. My solution was to tape two pieces of roll out white paper together and paint a tree on it. I added painted lights, ornaments and a star, and hung it on the wall. Now when I look back at photos, the ones of that year, and our homemade tree, are some of my … [Read more...] about Year round Christmas tree
