Reverse advice column
Maybe one day, my burgeoning needlepoint pillow collection...
will make my couch look like this,which would actually be pretty sweet.
Now onto my questions:
On a related note, I'm pretty good at finding stuff, but I suspect some of my readers are even better. So putting this out into the universe:
1. I'm looking for a couple of old upholstered benches. Anybody have any/know of anyone who wants to sell?
2. I just bought some vintage boots online. I love them, but they're too tight in the calf and way loose in the ankle (I've never had this problem before--are my calves getting huge? Ugh, hope not). Is there anything I can do to stretch the leather out, or alternately, get my calves to be all dainty again?

1.) what do upholstered benches look like?
2.) don't walk anywhere for a few months. works wonders
3.) that's your place??? amazing. AMAZING!
Oh lord, not that's not my place. I wish! Just what I'd like a sofa to look like one day with all my grandma pillows.
I don't know where the pictures is from, but it's fantastic.
Benches: Not 100% something a bit larger than a piano bench but not much. Maybe something you'd see at the end of a bed.
Might be worth a try at your local cobbler's (doesn't that word always sound like it's straight out of a Brothers Grimm story?) to see if they can stretch it any. My vintage boots are a little on the wee side, as well. I think it's that whole "people in the 60s/70s/80s were Tinkerbell and we're all a bunch of corn-fed fatties" thing.
Ugh, I know! I'm taking em to my awesome cobblers but I was subconsciously going to suggest an all vodka and Wendy's frosty diet first...
