Howdy! My name is KK and I wanted to share with you some of the reasons I feel so blessed to be a part of the VFG. So often I am over-whelmed with the generosity and friendship of this organization, that I am finally putting it into words. Feel free to add on to this thread sharing your experiences also!
1.To start, I love that we keep in touch not only for great vintage finds but also when there is an illness in our family and we need support and kind words.
2.I love the generosity of the members. Several weeks ago Marian of Vintage Vanities offered a box of study items: I grabbed them!I used her jacket in my last photo shoot . Ain't it Yummy!

3.I respect this group and appreciate the honest opinions that come from knowledge and not superiority.
Ok, Add on- Feel free to repeat, just number them!!
 
Wow, that photo is FAB!

6} the depth of members knowledge at the VFG is incredible, there are many members with particular focuses in era or specialties which always amazes me with the responses.

7) I am with friends who share a common interest and share that knowledge freely.

8) I can contribute and give back as a volunteer.

9) Because someone is always listening, no matter what hour.

10) I can display a badge of honor.
 
7) I am with friends who share a common interest and share that knowledge freely.

Ahhh, Yes!
12.The members and friends really do share their knowledge with open arms! I just love that you don't have to feel silly asking a question & that you don't get the "Chip on your shoulder" answer! OH! I'm adding this!

Buckaroo- Isn't it Fabulous to have the cream of the crop at your service!
Cross post again, I think we are... Drum roll please. Ready for The next post!!
 
#21 - The stain removal tips and fabric care advice is second to none!!

#22 - Members have already "been there & done that" so their advice is from real life experience in this industry.
 
23.... there is ALLWAYS someone who can help you

24....the label resorce is an absolutley fantastic place to learn about designers and aging items
 
27) You're so nice to newbees! When I first came here I made the mistake of posting links that I shouldn't have, and posting pictures of repro fashions that I thought were vintage. In spite of that you all made me feel welcome. :wub:
 
Gosh...let me count the ways! At 70, it's hard to find a commonality with friends, as your own generation disappears. Without the board, I'd be sliding into a pit of age-related depression. You guys keep me grounded and connected. I'm here daily.

That said,

28. It's the most rational group around. Proof that humans function best when they are serving a common interest (or obsession).

29. LEARNING. I've been in business forever, and still learn something knew here every day. The breadth of knowledge is amazing. And the generosity of sharing it is invaluable.
