(Except for the depression era Japan iridescent tea set I got there once for $5, with teapot, sugar, creamer and 4 cups and saucers, in pale blue and apricot! :p )Quote:

Where can I find such a foundation undergarment? Especially with an underwire.
TMI: I just hate that "bra smell". Y'all know what I'm talkin' about, ladies? :o
I don't know of any with underwires, but Ibex makes two camisoles with shelf bras. www.ibexwear.com One is like an athletic tank, the other is like a halter top.
you may have to call and ask them for the camisoles, because they are off season right now so don't show up on the website.
The halter-top one is on sale right now.

there is another camisole on sale, too, but it doesn't have a built in bra.
At Goodwill I got a bunch of pieces of my grandmother's china. I could have a really big dinner party. Course half the guests would have to sit in the floor.Quote:

3. A Lands End 100% cashmere pullover, maroon or burgundy. A little wrinkled, but once that's taken care of, should look new also.
The trouble is I went looking for cycling layers, but these may be office worthy.
Either way, I rock!
:p
You rock!
Can you take me shopping?:D
Now I feel the need to go Good Will hunting again....
Sweet finds! :D
Come down in January, on the 6th. They have another 1/2 off day then.
Don't GWs in other parts of the country do this?
Hey! I never noticed this before! A wool specialty shop on TE!

Hot doggies!
And don't forget the ultimate wool-cozy item, right where you need it most on those winter rides -- an Activa wool bra! :eek: :D :cool:
I kid you not! Itchless, warm (and suprisingly enough also cool in summer), wicking, and with support like a sports bra. Sadly, I only have one, but as soon as my source restocks, I'm getting more.
Darn! I found Activa, but no wool!
Do you have a link? Thanks!
Woops. My bad. Time to stop trusting my memory. It's Aclima, not Activa. But it IS still itchless, supporting, wicking, and weather-adapting.

I can't believe I haven't noticed this thread until now! And I needed it so badly!
Hi, my name is juju and I'm a woolweenie--a Florida woolweenie!
Which means I have to seek out nice thin wool layers. Today, though, we awoke to a 36-degree morning, so I'm sporting my gorgeous blue Ultimate Guide Sweater, and shopping online for wool underlayers for both cycling and motorcycling. Any suggestions?
By the way, my "gateway drug" was sweet, thin, Smartwool socks that I still wear all year around under my cycling shoes.
