I started with the Great Depression. What did people do during the Great Depression beside lose all their money? They saved money! So I made her an "Indy fund" to encourage her to save money so she could come visit me.
Coco Chanel was a major fashion icon in the 1930's. I found a picture of her to inspire me for some 30's glam. I went to one of my favorite accessory stores - Love 21 - and grabbed some items that I felt my friend would like with a 1930's vibe.
Bette Davis was a major actress in the 1930's and everyone knows the saying "Bette Davis eyes", so I found this great makeup kit that had eyeshadow, mascara, and eyeliner... perfect!
