having problems registering Hello Ladies, I'm finally back after a hiatus. Okay, I have tried 4 different times to register on etsy as a potential buyer. I have followed the directions to the letter, and I just can't get on there!! Can anybody help me? Please! Sincerely, inge77/M.K.

priced out of the running!!! Thank you!!! Priced out of the running is the exact perfect phrase for what happens to me on eBay!!! For example, I was bidding on an early 1900's white Edwardian-style blouse, which started at about 25.00USD. It's now at about $80.00, and has more than 24 hours...

eBay prices too high!!! All I can say is, I completely agree with the original question. The majority of eBay prices are way too high!!! And I do wonder, since I see no one at all dressed in Edwardian clothes, nor in Victorian petticoats, who are the people buying these up, driving up the...

I love bonnets, they're so comfy and shade my hair, scalp, neck, and face (I religiously cover myself ffrom the sun). I love all kinds of styles, and hope to get more. I have one prairie-style bonnet that doesn't quite fit, and I have a wonderful slat bonnet--I wear it every day. Anyone else??

try Amazon Dry Goods! Hi Dilly Dolly, For vintage patterns that come in real plus sizes, definitely try Amazon Dry Goods' pattern catalog. They sell patterns for repro. clothing of about 1450-1980. I'm about to order some myself!!:) :)

definitely have a separate thread/forum/section I agree with pdxvintagette, there should be a separate section for vintage swapping. Anyway, count me in, too! I just have to buy a camera in th beginning of August, and will be all set to swap!

right on the money I don't think you're too picky--I think that part of the tour you described was indeed disrespectful. I agree wholeheartedly with everything you said!

corded phones are best I definitely agree with what one of you sad about how annoying it is to talk to someone who's using a wireless or cell phone. Though I'm not lucky enough to have a Golden Era phone, both of my telephones are corded. I refuse to have a cordless phone--I can't stand those...

DVD's save the day! I also don't have television service...too much money, and I can't stand most of what's on anyway. Plus, my best friend said that the converter box does not work for her TV, so to have TV service, one has to buy a new TV set. Which I refuse to do. I do get DVD's and VHS...

I love corsets and girdles!!! Just wanted to say, I absolutely LOVE wearing real corsets (esp. overbust) and girdles!!! I also must say, as a chronic back pain person/sufferer/patient, corsets and girdles help this problem immensely. A good strong corset forces the wearer to stand or sit up...

Hi, I am looking for an experienced and detail-oriented seamstress in Philadelphia or the Philadelphia area. I don't know how to sew, but I'm about to order several different 19th century patterns from Amazon Dry Goods. So, these are clothes that are from as early as 1820. Accessories also...

what I'm wearing today Today I'm wearing a Mennonite cape dress with a slat bonnet.

last movie I watched The last movie I watched was Episode 5 of Berkeley Square, from England. What great clothes!!! The year in that series is 1902...heavenly!

trust your instinct on this one Hey, I think it's really brave of you to recognize this about yourself, not to mention admitting it here to everyone!!! I can relate to your conundrum, because I got in REALLY big financial trouble w/eBay and Paypal over buying too many antique and vintage...

no driving One thing I do to make my world more vintage is that I don't drive. I don't know how, and probably will never learn. I walk and take public transit everywhere I go, and I go to and from the grocery store with an old-fashioned grocery cart. I save a lot of money this way, too. And...
