I am going somewhere kinda special, so I don't want to look cheap either. Do I wear Gold or silver jewelry or costume jewelry or what? Thanks, it is appreciated.
My dress is just brown and turquoise, there are no other colors and it comes with a brown sweater with sequins.........
There are turquoise flowers.
What jewelry can I wear with a dark brown and turquoise dress?
Turquiose stones with silver
Reply:costume jewelry that has some turquoise color in it
Reply:I would say definitely silver. Turquoise is such a bright color you can probably get away with jewelry that is fairly large and outspoken, but be sure to wear something that you feel is attractive and appropriate for the occasion. True confidence can be the best accessory to any outfit.
Reply:pearl necklace
Reply:Wear some turquoise medium size beads on a necklace and maybe some earrings. They would look nice with the outfit.
Reply:wear some brown and turquoise bangles
Reply:I would prefer hmm...maybe Jade Jewelry
Reply:dark brown and turqoise jewelry.
Reply:I think silver would look nice.
Reply:Wear white gold or silver. That will look alot better that gold. Also try going with some turquoise jewelry spliced in.
Reply:turquois would be best, after that silver looks really good too-something more on the larger side...good luck
Reply:pearls are best with Turquoise.
Reply:I would wear a fabulous art jewelry piece that you find at high end craft fairs.
Reply:silver and turquoise
Reply:I would wear yellow gold. Brown and turquoise is a strong color combination. You want to keep your jewelry simple and not too matchy. I think thin gold chains around your neck would look nice - various lengths. And some thin gold hoops. That's it.
Reply:I would wear silver and turquoise.
Reply:you can use silver or gold,or mustard color
Reply:Wear a necklace with an opal on it, and dangling earrings with turquoise sequins. That would look really pretty, also include a turquiose handbag.
Good Luck!
Reply:Wear some white golds
Reply:Any piece of jelwery that picks out the turquoise, or silver jewlery works too. You can got too Claires, Bijoux, or any place that sell accesories.There is a store that sell accasories and it is renamed after a shoe company but i cant remember it for the life of me. hope you look hot!!

I bought a mirror stamped with illinois moulding company is this an antique or a piece of cheap junk?
it has flowers on each side along with small shelves inside the mirror, the flowers are moulded gold in color , it has a frame that is detatched from the mirror looks old but sometimes things are made to look old to fool us flea market junkies to make us think we found a treasure..
I bought a mirror stamped with illinois moulding company is this an antique or a piece of cheap junk?
I found a few website referring to "Illinois Moulding Co."
Hope these are helpful for you! Good Luck

We need cheap fundraising ideas!?
Well, we have a problem! Prom is going to cost $45,000! We only have $806! We need to find fundraising ideas that are cheap and give a large chump of change back! Something inventive, not like selling candy or flowers!
We need cheap fundraising ideas!?
Sell home made food, or maybe make cookies and cakes , and have a cake walk , or raffle tickets., car wash , or if you have stuff you want to get rid of, maybe a garage sell. or a yard sell.
Reply:Why aren't you charging? I am from Miami, we are used to paying 100 dollars per couple.
You want to make some killer cash for this soiree, then make friends with local art dealers, and folks that want to donate pieces for a legite Auction.
Host the Auction at the School's gym and see what can come from that...
Reply:Bake sale, Rummage sale, raffle tickets, spaghetti dinner night.
Reply:Think about a couple of alternatives: Everyone donates x number of dollars and lower the cost of your prom!
I've seen classes have car washes on weekends. I've also seen them have crab feeds where they get most of the food donated.
Contact a celebrity, or rock icon, and see if they'll make an appearance (impromptu concert?) at your school, go to the local Chamber of Commerce and see if they can help, find out if some of the benevolent organizations, suchs as the Moose, Shriners, Masons, Eastern Star, Rainbow Girls, Clampers, etc. would be willing to give money to sponser. Have a wine tasting event, wherein local wineries donate their wines. Charge an overhead and include entertainment. Bring in a celebrity chef to offer a class, donating the proceeds to your cause. The list goes on!
Reply:Go to local companies and ask if they can donate something for silent auction. Local coffee companies can give a pound of coffee and a travel mug, a massage therapist may donate a gift certificate for a free massage, a local restaurant will give a meal voucher and so on. Companies are generally happy to do this. Then hold a silent auction and auction off all the stuff. It won't make you $45k, but $30k isn't out of the question.
Reply:do a sub sell or a car wash even a bake sale after that what ever money you have left to put in divide by the # of students!!
Reply:Have a spaghetti dinner! Sell plates for $5-6 each, and see if you can't get the food donated (be sure to mention donors on a table tent or something). Sell desserts for $1-2 each. Get those donated (bakery and homemade) as well.
Reply:chili or pancake feed.
45K for prom is outrageous.
I vote on giving the money to charity. You can have a lot better memories helping people than by getting drunk and having sex at an obnoxious dance/popularity contest.
Reply:Sell your homemade food, sell your unwanted things, sell things.
Reply:School-wide garage sale?
Reply:Why is prom going to cost $45K? Isn't everyone buying a ticket that attends? Move the prom out of a hotel and to the gym or something. You will never make that knd of money in time.
Reply:bring back the pet rock. or maybe the pet lock of hair. or pet fingernail clipping. or maybe offer pictures of bud and some will think you meant pitchers
Reply:you should do car washes and the girls could babysit. you could also ask for donations
Reply:Do a save the prom drive! Everyone wants to be the prom king or queen, so let them. Do a (modest) fasion show of silly costumes and have people pay to participate and charge for people to vote on the king or queen of the fashion show. They wont be the real king or queen, but they will have a good time and you will get some prom money!
Reply:a bake sale !! always fun
Reply:I realize you said not seeling flowers or candy, but when I was in school we had a carnation sale (you can either get real ones or make them out of tissue paper).
Or you can do the classic car wash...stand at a four way stop with buckets asking for money.
Set up a yard sale (getting people to donate items).
Classic bake sale
Maybe you could get the school administration to work with you by offering student a chance to wear clothes against the policy (if you wear uniforms).
Buy a whole bunch of pizzas and sells them at a $1.50 a slice (most people will let you keep the change)...plus if you talk to a manager at the pizza place they'll probably give you a discount.
Good luck!
Reply:Do a "Kiss a Pig" contest. Basically the idea is to let people vote to see who they would like to see "Kiss a Pig". They vote by money amount - usually pennies. Get people like your principal, several teachers, a coach, a local radio personality, etc, or even students -and basically - whoever has the most "votes" or money has to kiss a pig at the end of the contest. You take their money at the time they vote (this can go on for one day or up to a week). Then at the end of the time - you have everyone there who was in the running - and you announce your winner. Then they have to kiss a pig. (I have done this with a piglet, a pot-bellied pig, a policeman, and also one time with a piggy bank). You will be amazed how much those pennies will add up, especially if you really promote it. And it is funny.
We did this one time at an indoor garage sale we had in the cafeteria. The Kiss a Pig was at the finale of the sale. We set up a "voting booth" and let people place their votes - where were tallied at the end of the day.
Reply:Depending on the number of kids in your class - it's not that outrageous a number if you split it up. Organize a 5 mile walk/run with a raffle. Everyone entered in the walk/run has a chance to win a donated (or purchased) prize. (get a limo company to tux rental or florist or photographer to provide prom night stuff for the winner in exchange for sponsor advertising at the walk/run event. If you get 100 people to walk, each one has to get $450 in sponsorships. You can also try to find someone or some company to match donations. Sneaker companies, sports stores, sports teams, local media (a big one), the local mall, any local big company, photographer, store where kids buy prom supplies or school supplies,places kids go after prom, etd you can think of is a possible donor.
Reply:Bake Sale, Car Wash, Raffles. Have someone donate an item and raffle it off. Have a limited number of tickets and closing date. At the end, draw a ticket to get the winner. My son's class had a car dealership give them a rock bottom price on a nice new car. They raffled tickets for the car, paid for the car and still had plenty of money for the entire senior class to go on a senior trip and have the senior dance. Most people would pay $5 or $10 for a raffle ticket on a new car! What about a rummage sale? Have each student bring items for the sale. Do all of the above. If you have any money left, do something nice for the school. My son's class put new drapes in the auditorium. If you all work toward the goal, you can do it. Have fun!!
Reply:you can have a bakesale, you can have a 50 50 drawing where lets say a ticket cost 2 dollars and 10 people buy a ticket that 20 dollars and some1 wins so then u keep half the money(10$) and the person who win keep 10$
Reply:well, first of all, you could just ask for donations- that'll probably get you a few thou, depending on how many people go to your school. but to get 45,000 you guys are gonna have to do a variety of stuff...and you're gonna need help from most of the people in the school. you could have something like all the students bring in unwanted stuff, and then the school has some some sort of well-advertised garage sale-ish thingy...and there's always, like somebody said, bake sales. they are a great way to get money. you could do something like a car wash, or a "if this teacher/principal/student will -enter slightly irrational idea here- this person will donate -enter amount of money- so you can kinda have fun doing it. other than that though, i dont know what to say. sorry if i didn't help.

I'm looking for a household remedy to get rid of pigeons on my deck?
I have a small deck attached to my apartment, I'm looking for something quick, cheap, easy to keep the pigeons away from sitting on my flowers and in the pot of one of my small trees. I've tried stakes and will put more in, but is there anything else that can be used...something around the house? They are driving me nuts....
I'm looking for a household remedy to get rid of pigeons on my deck?
One of the local grocery stores has fake plastic Owls outside of their store to keep the pigeons away and it seems to work. If you can find a place to buy the owls it would be worth a try. They can't be that much.
Reply:try putting moth balls in a panty hose legs and place them around the flowers and in the tree pot ,pigeons don't like the smell

How should I decorate my first apartment?
I just moved into my very first apartment and really need ideas decorating! I really love the color red and wanted some sort of theme. I don't have much money so the stuff has to be cheap! Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions, links to products would be especially helpful! I was thinking things along the lines of some nice framed art, flowers, some pillows, things like that... Thanks a bunch!
How should I decorate my first apartment?
If it's your very own apartment, and your very first one - away from mum and dad - then do whatever tickles your fancy, and whatever your parents would not have approved of. I am not saying this in a disrespectful way, but it is always good to experience the first flutters of freedom. I am assuming that you are still young, so be adventurous and decorate your apartment in any way you please, without sticking to any rules or regulations. Do it while you can, because once someone moves in with you, or you go into a relationship, then the apartment won't be your own private space anymore and you will have to share space and opinion. Good luck.
Reply:Go for the classical white style.
Go to freedom.com.au and download the Style 08 catalogues. It will give you an idea of the flooring and everything. Pictures really really help.

Can you dye a darker fabric with a floral print a lighter color?
So... I am getting married in September and found these cheap 120" round linen tablecloths. They are a terrible print but, for the price I am willing to buy them if I can fix them. I am not sure if there is any way of lightening them. If I bleach them they might come out all splotchy. There are 20 of them. They are pretty large. They are beige with burgundy roses some greenery and blue flowers on them. Since my wedding colors are chocolate, dusty rose and ivory..yeah...I need to either get them ivory or just dye them chocolate brown! Which I don't want them brown...cause it's gonna cost alot to buy that much RIT dye! hmmmm...any suggestions on how to get them lighter...technique wise that is??? Did I mention these 20 tablecloths were only $50.00...yeah...see why i'm trying to work with them?? P.S. Wedding's are expensive...ya have to try to save somehow.
Can you dye a darker fabric with a floral print a lighter color?
Forget it. If you try to dye them Everything will come out the color of the dye, some lighter and darker areas where the print is
