Forget removing the wallpaper---just hang fabric for a background. Much easier. :-)

I have been going through h-costume withdrawal since the beginning of August. YEA! I am back home! I have never been away from this email list this long. I bought a new laptop and thought that is why I couldn't receive email from h-costume. Tonight we found out that my email server had changed my security settings and had blocked the email list. While I was away, I have been having a lot of fun. I have purchased the following: ***about 200 vintage hats from 1920s-1960s *** two wedding dresses--one from the 1940s and another from the 1920s complete with the veil and undergarments. ***1940s evening gown ***Some late 1960s-early 1970s ladies' dresses ***set of very 1890s large fashion prints.they are larger than my new large scanner bed. ***lots of antique photos of weddings and 1860s families (found at a low price on a Mississippi trip) I wish my son would hurry up and take the wallpaper down in my future photo studio. I am dying to photograph these items. Antique Roadshow in Washington DC was a blast. They valued my collection of late 1890s/early 1900s French theater costume illustrations at over $10,000. The collection is now residing in a bank vault. AR said that to a fashion or theater historian, the collection is priceless. During the past month, I have photographed three events. The first event was Citie of Henricus-Publick Day, Chesterfield, VA. Henricus was the second English settlement in the New World. The second event was the Chickahominy Indian Pow-Wow. We have some great detailed photos and videos from this event. I was in costume heaven at this event. Friday , I photographed a 1950s sock hop "Cruisin' on the Coast" in Mississippi.lots of poodle skirts and vintage cars! You can see a few of the photos on my business' Facebook page. These are a sneak peak. I have about 1,000 photos from these events to put on my websites.
