Activity for GrayCatVintage

I worked for myself for almost two years selling vintage items online. Sales dipped this summer which forced me to get an 8-5 job. This is actually great because it will be a steady paycheck that will allow me to pay off student loans faster and I...

Our caterer is providing the bartender. We must provide a skirted buffet table in front and a small table for ice and beer cans in the back. Simple enough - I am buying linens and the venue has the tables. BUT...we were told we need to ALSO provide a...

I was just curious because as a person who cooks, I never use mine. For years I had an original 1960's KitchenAid stand mixer. It was black and white and it worked but I never used it. Last month, my aunt moved and she gave me her brand new white...

Mother is on a tablecloth kick now. She thinks I need to get like a plain green tablecloth and then ALSO get a pricey embroidered overlay. We saw a lot of overlays at bridal shows recently and she is obsessed. The thing is, some of those overlays are...

I just really do not like it. I am on board with hard cider - but beer, just yuck. Anyone else just not really care for beer?

So I went to the salon to have my nails painted because I have a job interview tomorrow. All I wanted was a nice neutral color painted on - that is it. Well, after I got there I was put with a new girl. I thought, okay, this is just nails. She had me...

I went to a job fair and I have been called back for a second interview. I really want this job because it is in the most ideal location I could ever hope for and I think I could do well at the position. I used to paint my nails all the time but now...

I was talking with a friend about me not wanting to hire a MUA. I do a "full face" of makeup every day so I did not think anything of it. However, she asked "are you going to do your eye makeup like you normally do or tone it down?" I usually wear...

My first thought was I could order birch bark vases and have all the tables be exactly the same. The vases are galvanized aluminum with bark on the exterior. I was then going to cut some wood slabs as chargers and use small glass bottles to hold the...

Since we are having a party for the grandmothers instead of a ceremony, I still want it to be very formal and "wedding-ish" for them. I am wearing a vintage lace dress and I need a birdcage veil for it. I about had a heart attack when I saw how much...

I want to make silverware bags for my cheap plastic utensils. I want to do this to dress up the table and have something I can sell after the wedding. I can make them from burlap with lace, embroider something simple on a plain cloth napkin, or I can...

Has anyone ever owned/used crinkle taffeta tablecloths? The reason I am asking is because I do NOT want to delegate ironing or have to hire someone to iron linens for the morning of the wedding - I need a "throw and go" type of thing because we might...

I ran into my great aunt at the grocery and I had not seen her since Thanksgiving. She had not seen my ring but knew of my engagement. Within a fraction of a second she GRABBED my arm and shrieked, "OMG why are you wearing a WEDDING BAND with your...

You have a choice if you had to pick what would be the BETTER of the two: Guests showing up in jeans and a tucked in t-shirt. or Guests showing up in a matching velour track/warmup suit. GO!

My FH has his mind set on a fancy, high end meal at a restaurant in downtown Indianapolis. I think this is nuts - BUT, his buddies all had fancy dinners at swanky steakhouses so I think it is more a "keeping up with the Jones'" thing. What is...
