Hi! I have been sewing, embroidering, collecting, selling, costuming, and wearing vintage since I was 5. I currently sell on Ebay. I am also a VFX Producer in the Motion Picture industry.
 
Hello! Settle in, this might take a bit.

When I was nine my Dad bought a steam engine for us to play on. We kept it at the Western Minnesota Steam Threshers Reunion in Rollag, MN. Mom dressed us in Victorian costumes she made. I wasn't old enough yet to be licensed to run the engine but I could work in the Ladies Activities building and be in the Style Show. I was tall and skinny, so tiny Victorian walking suits and mourning costumes were my forte.

I did the Style Show every year, until one year Neva Granstrom didn't bring her collection. I was heartbroken. My mum drove home and got our collection, Dad rigged a curtain off our pickup camper, and Mom emceed the show! We have been in charge of the Style Show ever since.

I became a licensed steam engineer and reveled in running our engine in a recreated Edwardian lingerie dress, with corset and big Edwardian hat!

After college, I found the SCA and when I told Mom and Dad about it I explained that its Rollag but the heavy metal is armor not steam engines. They got it. I started doing 14th C. English and French garb.

Eleven years ago an SCA friend introduced me to TeslaCon telling me I should come because I had all the clothes already! Since then I've recreated fancy period Edwardian that I wouldn't run an engine while wearing.

I wore Edwardian Everyday for almost a year with a terrible blog. After that ended, I started wearing early 30s every day, recreating all my clothes from period patterns and as close as I can get to period fabric and notions.

Now, I am back on the Style Show Committee and have an enormous collection to date, repair, clean, and inventory so we can continue to use it to teach and show. I need help and hope y'all will be a resource.

Peace,

Jane/Typhaine/Lady Evangeline Bunbury

Hello! I'm Jackie from London. My love for fashion designing and crafting Vintage Leather Accessories has always been there, but it's only recently that people have started taking notice of what a creative individual I am in the field - thank you again for giving me this opportunity with your kind words on my first post here :)
 
Hello there! I’m from Canada and have always been a vintage enthusiast, mostly mid century modern items - glass, pottery, china…However, I have recently become interested in vintage accessories - hats and scarves mostly, but don’t have a great deal of knowledge about them. I love reading your forums to learn more.

Hi everyone! Thank you for this awesome resource, I am new to the industry and it had been incredibly helpful!
U hace had a passion for all things vintage since I was in high school, before I even knew it was a thing. Now in my 30s after many years in the engineering business I am trying to turn my passion into my job. Slowly building up inventory to start an online store and eventually a brick and mortar - Slow process since I still work full time, but take it one day at a time.
Excited to meet some new people who share my passion for quirky fashion.
 
Hello my name is Rebecca and I love to thrift. I have made lots of good finds over the years but I found this coat that has taken me down the bunny hole of fashion. And now I'm hooked! I hope I can gain some good knowledge and share some things I know. Thanks for adding me

Greetings, I'm Victoria, a nearly 70yr young thrift store & estate sale addict. I'm a scheduled volunteer in the jewelry dept of a non-profit thrift "boutique", using a gram scale and gem tester with my hallmark resources to identify and price donated jewelry. We "keep the best & donate the rest" to other thrift organizations; keeping our stock of "high end" clothing, jewelry, furniture etc. We cannot buy when we're on duty and off duty purchases must have been on the sales floor for 24hrs and involve the store manager. I'm learning about silk scarves to help our store, and finding the resources for identification aren't as common as jewelry indices. Eager to get some help from savvy forum members. V
 
Hi all, I'm Sarah and I am obsessed with vintage fashion, especially shoes and accessories. I buy for myself but only have a small house and wardrobe so I have a one in, one out policy so often sell online. Thanks so much for having me in your group.
