Can't the auction be manipulated in both way's? It could be that someone publish's the auction because they are a prominent member and let everyone know this is mine, "lay off"! Or this is mine "and I want to get the highest dollar" I am a supporter of not allowing ebay auctions on this site...
Trust me on woven edge ribbons from before 1940,a 1 inch pin can ruin a roll! Steam or water won't close the hole on a high quality ribbon. I have had my money refunded numerous times because of this. Look at it close,the hole is evident! I couldn't in good conscience sell a hat with that...
Nice ribbons John, one thing don't put pins in the ribbon you will end up with little holes all the way around the ribbon, rendering it useless. I've purchased vintage ribbons where the seller did this very disappointing.
Use a paper clip or fabric tape to hold your end.
Mingoslim, don't be to hasty check out Katarina hats etsy! She makes an awesome " a word I hate " nonetheless. Her bows are beautiful aged, frayed, a true artisan!
Alan you're right on with Fabri-tac my wife has been using it for a long time!! She sensed my frustration one day with a sweat that separated a little bit. She said I have something. Just be careful! I had no idea that her sewing experience could intertwine with hat making. Go figure,their day...

John, if I may make a suggestion, concerning your canvas bag. Take the bag put in a washing machine preferably a laundromat and wrap a stone or brick in cloth and wash it, maybe a couple of times. if you soften the canvas the sand will disperse equally all around. If you have to do it at home...
Alan again you are correct. I put a watered down solution of White Brite from oxyclean on a qtip to the spot only, set it in the sun it will bleach out the stain.
I sense your frustration, as an artisan like you are,I have no problem with posting your work!! It's all in the artist that produced it and want's to show off his particular handiwork! If I like your work I will seek you out for my particular interest in what I would like you to produce for me...
What about, the conversion corral, photos of hatters tools, show us you hat, post new hats here. The moderators have to be extremely naive or have a vested interest in some of the loungers to think they are not advertising their handiwork!!! I could site instances where they FL members are...
Nice job on the adoption! Cute dog. I rescued one after one of my bulldogs hit it's expiration date 9 years and her brother was going to check out shortly! Headed to the local dog pound found a cute looking little long hair chihuahua skinny runt filthy dirty 5lbs. They told me he was six years...
