Hello every one my intro
I thought I would make my first post here as a introduction, I am Paul and live in the UK, work for a small company as a woodworker and in my spare time run a couple of commercial web site a sort of self taught web designer.
As a craftsman I always apriciate the design and skill that goes into making things, anything really especially if it's from years gone by, and enjoy modern history.
Recently I started collecting vintage and retro ladies fashions my favourite period is the 1920's but I collect up until the 1969 no later!. I know this might sound unusually for a man, but when you realize that every item of clothing or fashion item has what i call a story, about the first about designer, the maker and the admiration for the skill of the maker, and finally the purchaser , there is always a lot to appreciate in each item, I of course can only admire and handle the items and miss out on wearing them like they were designed originally to be worn but still they are nice to own.
My collection is small only been going a year but have some jewelry, handbags and a few ladies vanity items and a couple of nice dresses. I hope to make some good friend here. If you want to know any more about me please send a message.
Thanks for reading my intro Paul.
