"This is not your typical book signing," Rand says, "where a meek author chews an autographing pen and sheepishly hides behind stacks of books. Coming to one of my signings is like immersing yourself in the Old West."Indeed, Rand, dressed in full Western regalia, will be coming to area bookstores accompanied by a posse of cowboys from local Cowboy Action Shooting Clubs (there are 22 clubs with over 450 members throughout New England!). The cowboys/gals, with their colorful "wild rags," hats, calico shirts, leather...

Vintage Linens Are No Longer Just for Decorating Your Home - Check Out the New Trend in Children Clothing
Abigail, owner of Poppylarity, uses vintage tablecloth fabric to create very unique baby, toddler and preschool dresses. Many of the dresses are one-of-kind creations using the retro floral print tablecloths from the 1940s through the 1970s. The dresses can have either a dainty feminine 1940 floral feel or a vibrant fun retro print of the 1960s. Abigail says, "Moms love the tablecloths of the past. But with small children running around the house, many do not want to display them on their tables.
Either their kids are too hard on the table d?cor or moms do not have the time for the washing and ironing required. I am offering them a fun alternative to enjoy the prints."Her featured style is the sleeveless spring and summer dress with an empire waist and gathered skirt. They are roomy enough to wear sleeveless or with some type of undershirt or blouse. Many of her customers add cardigan sweaters to the dresses. One of Abigail's signature details is the fully lined bodice which gives...

Fashion Clothing Tips for Short Women
Petite curvaceous women definitely need to elongate their body using their clothing style for minimizing the volume. This is the general rule for the women owning this type of figure. In order to cover the faults of a figure not belonging to a tall, skinny 'giraffe' type model, you need to follow some essential tricks.
- Your aim is to elongate your body. The most frequent mistake petite women making in terms of clothing is cutting their bodies by using pieces of clothes as jackets and belts in the wrong proportions.
