Hi friends! Unfortunately Mr Johnny Cash is still missing. Thanks so much for all your kind words and prayers. It means the world to me and I’m trying not to give up hope for his safe return.
Don't give up, I'm sure he is out there
no hope he ok ☺️
Oh, I was hoping for some good news. Don't give up hope, he might just wander back home unexpectedly x
Maybe he's stuck in Folsom Prison...
We are praying for him and you.
I wore a size 5 for many years. Now that would be a 0 or 2. I weighed 98 lbs and I thought I was fat. Can you believe it? I was born back then when ladies always wore dresses around the house, you didn’t work on Sunday, you went to church and stayed in your dress clothes all day. You had company for dinner or went to someone else’s home for dinner. TV stunk. You didn’t go shopping because all the stores were closed so you better be prepared. I didn’t own blue jeans nor sneakers except for gym class or playing outside, but often you had oxfords or saddle shoes. I wear saddle shoes still. Keds was the sneakers brand as were black and white ball tennis shoes with a high top for boys. Keds were $1.00 a pair, maybe $2 and they came in white. I could go on and on about nylons and garter belts, the horrible cotton brassiere, anklets, which I like, but are hard to find. Boys were sent home from school for wearing engineer boots and heaven forbid if you chewed gum in class. It was a wonderful time to grow up. Very helpful.
I graduated high school in 1970. I remember wearing a girdle and nylons to class. No one could jiggle! Lol! Pants were not allowed. Boys couldnt wear jeans. Awful!
Same here.
Fun fact: Rayon was the first synthetic (I like to call it a semi-synthetic) textile. It was first created commercially in 1910 and spiked in popularity in the 1930s and 40s for wearable items because of WWII. I like to call it a semi-synthetic because it is made starting out with cellulose (most commonly wood pulp).
I am a 13 year old boy and no I am not interested in most of the topics of your videos but I am 60 years old on the inside. Most say I am an old soul. I do like the style of everything in the videos. Unlike most kids, I don't play videogames at all. I just enjoy building things in the woods like small shacks out of scrap wood. And when the day is over, I go to my room and play some of my 45 records, with songs such as whispering bells by the del vikings, at the hop by Danny and the Juniors, love is strange by mickey and Sylvia, and many more. I pretty much try to make my life like it is the 50s, but obviously that is not too easy when you are surrounded and living in the 2020s. But I just wanted to say that seeing people who have a great interest in the 50s really makes me happy, and it lets me know that I'm not the only one. Thank you.
You sound absolutely lovely --- keep going and be true to yourself.
UPDATE! Johnny cash was just found!!!!! Check her ig story 😅💝❤️👍
We all can't wait to see him in the next video and maybe learn a little more about him too - his adoption story, etc.
Not having Mr. Johnny Cash in the intro was traumatic.. Johnny Cash please come home 🐈⬛💔
He's been home for a few days now - she posted about it on the community page here - I hope she will make a video featuring him!

One thing to note, from what I’ve heard, it’s specifically the year 1971 were care instructions were mandatory on clothing.
“In 1971 the Federal Trade Commission released the “Care Labeling Rule” which required all manufacturers (including importers) of apparel to include garment care instructions on an interior tag.”
When you were showing the Union labels it triggered a childhood memory. Look for the union label commercials. Of course I had to google and watch it! Um, I think I’m officially old now.🤣
You're literally one of the only RUclipsrs that I watch every single video from. I love your videos! :)
Maybe some reviews of 50s themed content (WandaVision, Dexter’s Lab, I Love Lucy, Jetsons) would be nice. I know of some RUclipsrs who do stuff like that. Might be hard to dodge the copyright bullets tho
I would love for Laci to do a Wanda Maximoff cosplay using one of her outfits from the earlier episodes of Wandavision!
Oh no.....I’m sorry Laci about your kitty. I really thought he’d be back after playing outdoors. Aw......I hope he comes back. I remember my mom told me cats can travel up to a 20 mile radius. Hopefully he’s traveling back!! Or...in the arms of someone loving..... I remember when I lost my kitty when I was a kid. After a month....their he was!! Beat up, dirty, but he made it home. I pray that for you...
Hi, Lacey, Great Job! I know that had to be very very difficult with Mr. Johnny Cash on your mind. I maintain my prayers for you and for him and a safe return. XO Deirdre
Good to see you back honey. Lots of love and well wishes for a safe return of our furry friend Johnny Cash🤗💕🌷 it's like antique roadshow for clothes🤩
My grandpa has lots of olds things in his house! They look really cool I have no idea what they are but they look very nice
Would love to see a new vlog with Johnny Cash's return, Laci. So happy he's returned home. Johnny is my fav among your pets. He just looks so cool like a black panther and with a cool name named after "The Man In Black."
I'd say Johnny Cash might be having a litter with a local cat called June.
Awww, hopefully he'll bring them home to meet grandma if they do.
Or maybe her name is Delia.
@@twobrokeguyz1214 Well I guess either way, she threw him off because he came home. lol Maybe he's just back to rest his loins. He'll either kick back and enjoy his memories, or he'll be planning his next adventure.
Wishing the 50’s dresses would come back! I have a few 50’s inspired dresses and I love them! I saw that your Kitty made it back home! So happy the family is back together! 💖💖💖🐈⬛
Hi Laci! I always love watching your videos and you’re just so happy and positive!!
Still so sorry about Mr. Johnny Cash hope he returns very soon. 💕
I love the 1930's dress with the floral beading, so pretty! 💖✨✨✨
Thanks Laci! What a cute and informative video on vintage clothing.
Praying for JC's safe return.
Could we have a spring lookbook? Maybe inspired by spring holidays, like St. Patricks day, Easter, and even a Spring Break look! I love your lookbooks and I feel like they really inspire me to style my own vintage looks 😊
Thank you for sharing this Laci I have some of my grandma 1940s Vintage clothing what I love to wear everyday what she had wearing of the photos what I looked at ... ❤☺
Thank you for your video. I have recently met a 97-year-old woman who has had nobody come through her house offer me to go through and pick out what I want because she wants to get rid of it and her kids have already gone through the house. She must have 2000 pieces of clothing it is absolutely amazing I’m going to watch more of your videos to educate myself. Thank you again..
Nice to see you back! Really interesting information. I hope Mr Johnny Cash is back at home ❤🐈
Your video is fabulous. The information so timeless; heed it. My mother taught me when I was a young girl (the 50s) about fabric, workmanship and design. I’ve been collecting over 55 years. Always extra buttons and sometimes different size buttons as found (hidden) on the garment. The oversize buttons on the vintage fur or the fine wool swing coats. Mother-of-Pearl buttons, self-covered buttons as you alluded to.
The garments of yesteryear have a mystique all their own. I’m preparing to launch my own “unique boutique” soon on eBay. Hallelujah 🎉
I am a true vintage neighbor {72 yrs old-born in 1951} and I love, love, love vintage dresses from the 30s and 40s! Thank you for the inspirations and the memories of my childhood.
I’m sorry to hear Mr. Johnny Cash is still missing:( try and put out his food and see if he comes back. Hope you find him!!
Such great info on the identifying factors in garments! Just want to mention that I wore a gown to my sister's wedding in 1978 and it had an invisible zipper in the side seam (which, funnily enough, busted when I wore it to my prom in 1981, lol). So, a garment with an invisible zipper could be from a time earlier than the '90s. Hugs re Johnny Cash!!
I'm so sorry to hear about Mr. Johnny Cash. Someone else said it and it's true for me also! I watch all of your videos and love them!!! Have a wonderful evening!
This was so interesting! Yes, sizes were larger numbers back then. What's a number anyway...
What a great video superb as usual. My cat disappeared for two weeks once he got out the first day I moved in. I was distraught then one morning at 4 I heard her at the front door. I rushed downstairs and the whole house was up then welcoming her back. xx
Just started a vintage reselling business and this is so helpful thank you!!!!!!
Cool! Online?
@@gohawks3571 yeah it’s just on Poshmark- Rose Colored Glasses Closet. I sell other stuff too because my vintage stuff goes FAST. I want to get more serious about doing all vintage.
Sometimes when at an estate sale or a yard sale looking at the other stuff in the house will help date the clothing. Most of the time when I am at say an estate sale for a 60's house I will find clothing from the 60's onward. If you are lucky enough to be at a yard sale or an estate sale that the owners are there you can ask if they remember when something was bought.
Thanks to you. Now it’s confirmed I got a 1950s plaid dress from IG. The hems, the zigzag cuts, no zippers, the union label, etc. Wow! I’m so happy!
What a interesting video! I so enjoyed it and always love seeing your big smile. I am so jealous of your house and all your vintage cuteness. Thanks for sharing with us.
I really enjoy your videos!! You have a kind and sweet spirit. So much interesting information. And it takes me back to my childhood. Saw so many of the things that you show or talk about in my parents home and my grandparents homes. Very fond memories. Thank you!!! Take care!!:)
Thank you for sharing all the vintage fashion info that you’ve researched. 🥰👗👠👛👒
Good to see you back in a new video Lacy 🤗 i still pray for mr. Johnny Cash to return save and well home 🙏💖
Thank you for the great info Laci✨✨ I’ve have had you and Mr. Cash in my thoughts so much💕💕
Continued prayers for his safe return home🙏❤️🙏
You're an expert in my book! Great video! Very helpful being a newbie! Tysm for the links too! ❤
Great instructional video
The perfect clothing size of the 60s was size 12.
I was a 10 or 12 (not any more)
It’s such a psychological thing not to be a certain size now.
As summer is coming, it would be nice to see you mix and match your vintage summer clothing
I also love your vintage recipes.
Take care 🇨🇦 ❤️
Yesss! The zipper tip and seams are super helpful! I found a dress at a vintage shop that was est 60s but the silhouette, seams finished with bias tape, side metal zipper all lean 50s! And I always go by my measurements too with sizing but looking in the larger sizes at the thrift store is a great trick for finding vintage! I have vintage fashion guild bookmarked too 😆 and their Union label guide!
Hi Laci! I hope the crocheted gloves and patterns I sent arrived in good shape. I don't do vintage clothing but love the household accessories of the Atomic Age. I greatly enjoy your stylish and fun channel.
Soooo super helpful! Thank you for making this video.
Hey Laci girl, loved the bells, thought it gave everything a nice ring.😉 Glad see you back hope you were able to find your precious kitty. Wonderful video, very informative. I love the 50s era simply because dresses became a little wider in the hips. I was born in the fifties so it's a special time for me. Thank you bringing vintage back.🌹
Hello Laci, it’s so good to see you in a video today! Wow, so much good information here on what to look for.
Your dress today is very pretty and very spring 💛💗
I’m still keeping you and Johnny Cash in my prayers. I know it must be hard but good positive thoughts that he’ll come home
Morning girl nice to see you. Any update on Mr. Cash ?
Hes still missing ):
Thank you Lacey loved video, I know you must be so worried about Johnny cash,,, praying lots for him,,,just love see vintage neighborhood every week, you are a special girl,❣️😾
She found him. He's doing well.
@@AfnanMAbdullahi oh thank god !🙏🙏🙏🙏
I just found your channel and I’m loving it! Your hair is stunning, btw.
Great info on vintage garments loved it. Thnks
Excellent info on vintage. I've recently starting selling vintage pieces on Poshmark and this info is very helpful. Thank you Laci.
I'm new but I really liked what I saw, thank you for the entertainment value that you bring
Hi Laci
Thank you for your videos I really enjoy watching them. A cool fact you talk about Talon zippers and my mom worked at their plant for 20 some years. I enjoy seeing the clothes and I really love the circle skirts. So I bought some reproduction ones I guess that’s the word for it.
Awesome tips my friend! Dating garments is def something that you get better at with time! I'm still learning hehe
Your videos brighten my day! 💕 I hope Johnny cash cat makes his way back home.
Since you didn’t bring him up I guess you haven’t any news about Johnny Cash. Thinking of you and your family!
He's back at home ♡
Love this video, so much good info ❤
Holaaa, echaba de menos tus vídeos. Me encantan 😸😍
GLAD YOUR BACK!IVE HAD A LOT OF KITTY FRIENDS HERE AND THERE, MY OWN AND STRAYS, AND MALE CATS ESPECIALLY, TEND TO WANDER OFF OCASSIONALLY, FOR A BIT, WHEN UOU LEAST EXPECT IT. A LOT OF TIMES ,THEY WILL GO AND MARK TERRITORY, AND OR FIND A MATE, OR EVEN JUST SEASONALLY JUST TO ROAM. USUALLY ,THEY DO WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO, AND THEN RETURN ,ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY HAVE A GOOD HOME. SOMETIMES IT DOES TAKE A BIT ,HOPEFULLY, HE STICKS CLOSE SO IT WOULD BE QUICKER. WHO KNOWS,MAYBE HES RIGHT AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD. HE MIGHT OF FOUND A BUDDY TO HANG WITH FOR A BIT. KEEP AN EYE OUT, SOMETIMES AT UNEXPECTED TIMES, THEY TEND TO SHOW UP.!! GOOD TO SEE YOU BACK, LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS AND GADGET TESTS!😃
Love that information . Thank you .👍

Thinking of you and Mr. Johnny Cash! Hope he comes home soon!
Thanks so much this was very helpful!
such a great idea!!! thank you so much :)
Great video!❤️❤️💙💙
Thanks for sharing.
Very informative, Laci! I learned something new about clothing labels and I've been around since the early 1950's. You might look for Johnny Cash in Garages in your neighborhood. Someone may have had a door open temporarily and Mr Cash may have wandered in. This happened to a Friend's cat. He eventually was found and returned after a few weeks. Hopefully your reunion will be very soon.
Really helpful, thank you
Such a informative video
I am staying positive about Johnny Cash! I am talking to God about this, and I am sending you and your family love and positivity...
A great overview! Sending warm wishes for Johnny Cash's safe return.
The feel of the fabric and sometimes the smell (to tell if it is leather or not )
Hey Laci🤗really good video👗❤️👗I am a seamstress since I was 13. Plastic zippers come out early To mid 1970s. I remember my first plastic zipper I did not like them🤪I thought they would break easy. ☕️🐈🎀also the garment label IS VERY important when looking to buy a vintage or antique dress👗❤️❤️
Enjoyed💕
Great advice 😊😊
You look great. I am glad you thought of it. very helpful. Maybe consider doing a vid on how to host a dinner party from the 50's?
I have always wanted to live in the 1950s that is my favorite era.
Would love to see more vintage shopping videos 😃
Very helpful thank you
Thank you got sharing
YaY! Johnny Cash is home! I've been checking each day! I am so happy for both of you!
Very interesting would like to learn more about dating garments
Thank you,
Great video :)
I love your swung vase
Loved your video. Could you do a video on vintage fabric and when they were popular and when they fell out of favor.
Thank You
Love your style
I learned a lot! I also need to look up some terms.😆 I will say a prayer for Johnny Cash!
thank you for this very formative video learned a wealth of information I will be sure to use the " vinage fashion guild have a lovely week ( Judy )
Will continue to pray for Johnny Cash’s safe return. I hope you can find comfort and peace while you wait. That is so hard to go through.........Just saw he made it home! Yay!
Great video as always! Praying for Johnny Cash's safe return ❤
I have been so worried about your cat! I had hoped he showed up. I’m so sorry. He probably misses you just as much. Here’s to him showing up in one piece!!!!
Lacy, over the years I’ve had two solid black cats, both strays that just moved in. A little girl I named Magic and a huge tom I named Zorro.
Very interesting.
Thank you this is so much help. I was wondering if your family is also interested in vintage things like you? Or do they just accept/allow that you are different than they are? Do you have a video explaining how you became interested in vintage style? I’ve been here probably five months I think and don’t recall you mentioning this; however I could have missed it.
You are an expert!
