Hello!

Call me Tonette, a filipina. I am an old-fashioned girl at heart and I am for bringing back some lovely traditions from the 40s, 50s and 60s. Wouldn't it be lovely to bring back the quite lost arts of long ago? I don't know, but I love things old-fashioned, even when I bake I still use my father's homemade wire whisk. So you can imagine my befuddlement every time I look into old Pillsbury and Peotraco :=)

Perhaps it's the vintage feeling and charm of old-fashioned lifestyle... so simple, so lovely, so natural. I used to draw and make my own comic stories at age 9. Me and younger siblings would spend hours cutting out pictures from my father’s Reader's Digest, Time and Columbia mags and glue them on the comic books. Too late the mags were stripped off of lovely photos by the time he gets a hold of them.  Today, the memories make us all laugh and I find reminiscing those days most enjoyable of all.

Thanks to Hubpages, I can write things I'm so inclined about. I enjoy beauty, love, children, lifestyle, things beautiful from scratch and anything country. Through my writing, I wish I can raise people's spirits & help many women understand their true beauty and how little things can make a difference. Just a little of me to help make the world smile thiiisss BIG :=)

Welcome to my old-fashioned hubpage. I hope you'll enjoy my hubs.
