    All of the above, of course!

    And, how about this for #30:

    Very special (especially to me who works out of my home all the time) is the connection with real folks in the real world who "get" what I do and understand the sometimes lonely existence this can be, and the importance of having a place to go to bounce stuff off other who share the passion.

    36. Inspiration and knowledge to do better at business and know more about all aspects of vintage fashion.

    37. Effective networking right here and ideas for better networking elsewhere.

    38. So much more: Information, support, kindness, reality checks, history, sympathy, empathy, things you need for customers, first look at great items, expertise in many specific areas, a place to try to help others know more, humor, beauty, friendship.

    Are we up to 50 yet?

    40: The support and friendship, when sometimes selling vintage on-line can be like being trapped on a remote island where all you have got is piles of old clothing a tape measure,camera and a computer,really lonely with no one to talk to about your latest finds. I would go completely nuts without the VFG! :wacko:
    41: the opportunity to learn from your peers and those more experienced at selling vintage clothing without ridicule or judgement if you don't know something :adore:
    42" being part of a global community especially when you live miles away in Australia :cheer:

    43. Meeting new friends & getting to know old friends better.

    And to repeat, the wealth of knowledge is unmatched, I love learning new things every day.

    Still Counting! :headbang: Repeats Welcome!!
     
  15. FAB photo shoot! that is gorgous, it does belong in Vogue!

    All the above, but mainly the wealth of information, so freely shared, especially about dating.

    My favorite thing tho, is finding that rare, ultimate piece and running home to post quick pictures here to share in the excitement, cause no one else "gets it" like the VFG does.
