Oh yes...I've seen and lusted after that pattern before!Originally Posted by Vanessa
Disciplined on ebay? I'm sorry, that's just not computing.
I lost this one awhile back, but it still irks me. I desperately wanted this pattern, and bid an outrageous price on it and was outbid by a dollar or two.I sent the winner a very nice message, asking if there was any way I could pay her to copy it, even a bad copy I'd take. But *ahem* she never answered me.
So. Yes.
You've seen that pattern before? Where? If you have it, I can promise you a first-born child.
Oh, don't let's ask for the moon. We have the stars.
hahaha..no...I wish! I saw it come up on ebay a couple of years ago. It went for an astronomic amount of money then too! I do have a similar pattern if you're interested in a copy. (however, it may be awhile before I get to copying it)
Yes, I'd love to get a copy. Send me a PM about it and we can work it out. You're a peach!

OOH! And I'll copy vanessa's copyWe need a powder room pattern exchange.
Here's my one that got away
Listed as 30's, I have an inkling suspicion it is really late teens/early 20's.

At 133 $ I ended bidding on that one...
I?Ǭ¥m still mourning but it was just getting too much for my wallet....
I saw that suit whilst it was listed and was thinking of bidding, but I've already got stuff from the 30's, 40's and 50's so didn't want to start on another decade!!Listed as 30's, I have an inkling suspicion it is really late teens/early 20's.
Another thing that made me think it was more 1920's was the length of the skirt! I know the skirt in the 30's were long but I measured the length of this skirt against me and it would have been only a few inches from the floor on me, and I'm 5"10'!!!!
That booklet of hair is great by the way what a shame you didn't get it! I've noticed that anything about 1940s hair seems to go sky high these days! Even the book that came out a couple of years ago (that is now out of print) goes for about ?Ǭ£50+ (about $90+!!!!!)
I have that book. The modern 1940s Hairstyles book by Turudich takes most of the information and diagrams from it but leaves a bunch of the text out. Watch www.abe.com. They don't have any copies up right now, but usually you can find a few on there. I got mine from a seller on ABE about a year ago for $30. At the exact same time it was going for $100 on ebay!At 133 $ I ended bidding on that one...

Sorry about the delay. I'll send you a pm when I get a chance to copy it. Has been a very strange New Year so far.... spent most of my time and broke the bank at the vet's this week. Never let your cat eat walnuts.....
This has got to be one of the best threads so far on the Powder room, I feel like I have just entered the Ebayers-Anonymous therapy room. I am such an addict to Ebay too. Like Maisey I am in the UK, last night I sat up untill after 2am to win a bra from an American seller!!
I have missed some very special items that I no longer have pics of as I tend to delete them from my auction summary page (the emotional pain being too acute). I have actually thrown a major tantrum once too and couldn't be persuaded to come out of it all evening when I missed a 40's dress I was watching last Autumn.
I hereby solemnly do swear to provide photographic evidence of missed auction items from now on (especially the ones that have me throwing my powder puff across the room in a Diva-fit!)
Lauren that pink coat is soooo beautiful, I don't thinik I would have survived missing that one. My admiration goes out to your strength and resilience.
