Hi everyone. I've been a bit MIA lately. But I wanted to let you all now that I went to the Vintage Expo last week and got to meet Kristine of Elsewhere and Janet from Woodland Farms. Mary from Zuburbia and I met up and had a great time. Full report on my blog this Monday.

A great article on vintage in a small paper - Elsewhere mentioned: http://www.newgeography.com/content/001343-millennial-perspective-vintage-fashion-the-twice-around-economy

Oh it's such a magnificent place. I loved seeing the Irene room! Thank you so much for sharing this. I had the opportunity to view a fashion show a couple years ago in the Tea Room. It was such an amazing experience.

I'm seeing 30s. Weren't quirky knits, like Schiaparelli, fairly popular in the 30s? Maybe I am totally wrong.

your models are gorgeous!! Tell us how sales change with your models.

all of my 60s Garay bags have had labels sewn in including ones from the late 60s. I would have to say 70s

60s :headbang:

I love Melody's book! My review is up. I'll probably copy and paste it for Amazon. Check it out: www.debutanteclothing.com

Ang, you and I were hair twins! I'll have to find mine.

Wow! Amazing treasures and such a learning experience for me. Thanks for sharing.

I know Laura! She's a great gal!

mink. mink has those little "whiskers" that kind of stick out.

Louise, do you use the flash gun in addition to other lights? Or by itself?

Hooray Melody! Your publisher is working the press!! http://www.teenvogue.com/beauty/blogs/beauty/2009/10/another-cute-fashion-book-the-little-guide-to-vintage-shopping.html

hi there! I happen to be up late. the first one is from the 80s the second one from the 60s the third one from the late 60s to early 70s hope that helps

do you have her washing rayon crepe secret? do we have a washing and cleaning resources page? maybe we need one!

I have been looking for this vinegar recipe for months. I remember reading this tip and it was driving me crazy because I knew Susan swore by it. Thanks Julie! Up until now, I hadn't had a problem with washing cottons on delicate. it was the extended soak without a vinegar bath that I think...

What a great cleaner find! I really need to find a new dry cleaner. I wonder if the older dry cleaners would be good to try. I've never dry cleaned cotton, but it would be nice to have everything steamed and perfect and ready to be hung once I picked it up. I hate prepping.

yes, it's salvagable, just not as vibrant as before.

I always feel very confident about washing cotton dresses in the machine. Gentle cycle, gentle detergent (Ivory Snow, Woolite, etc.) and bam! Done. Well, I washed a textured cotton dress today and it faded considerably. AND, I think I noticed a small tear in the skirt where the hem came...

Swoon.

I actually bought that book, The Gospel According to Chanel, last week. It's a fun read.

Don\'t forget to record Oprah tomorrow! Oprah Goes Back In Time is the title of the episode. Our Ang's dress she sold to Mrs. jones will make its appearance! My DVR is ready!

omg, I have this exact same purse! hope we don't list at the same time, LOL.

yes, it's black =( Realy? Say good bye? Darn.

it can't be bleached - it has an adorable pink rose print which is why I am trying to rescue it. it might be a loss but thought it might be worth a try

One of my pickers threw in some free very soiled dresses and one has mold on it. Visible mold. I want to try to rescue it. I was thinking a nice long soak in Borax. What do you think?

by the way, is the publisher helping you with promotions and marketing? you really should send a review copy to the fashion magazines.

fyi, there is a misspelling on your order page! Fourth line down: where to by it

So many books are coming! I am pre-odering as well. i want at least a signature. Will you remind us how this all came about? I would die if someone approached me with a book deal!
