@CoraCHarrington I got very lucky hunting on ebay. Assuit is actually very big in the bellydance community and a lot of people use modern and vintage pieces in costuming. That's how I first got interested in it.
@NlNJAGOmovie@ShouldHaveCat Not sure if it's the case here, but in parts of Turkey they have little houses like this outside to the street cats and dogs have places to sleep. They also leave out food and water for them.
@Lazecapri @earlygirl__ As someone who sews for a living, sewing for a living is hard and it can take a lot of the fun out of being creative. I really appreciate my non-mometized hobbies.
@factory_femme@lingerie_addict I started buying secondhand, barely worn good boots from Ebay and they last so much longer (and are way more comfortable) than the cheap pairs. I also have a local cobbler that can replace broken zippers and worn down sales, so I get a much longer life out of each pair.
