Re: [h-cost] ribbons

[Marjorie Wilser]

Well that explains it then! :) Thanks, Kimiko!

My original request was for input on a ribbon source online: how good  
they were, if anybody had used them.


The really weird thing was that when I checked my "sent" box just now,  
there was NO .sig file attached to my original email (I usually strip  
it out before sending to this list). And there was my original query,  
too:


Have any of you used http://www.jkmribbon.com  to order spools of  
ribbon?


I'm printing for a wedding and we need 25 yd of 1-1/2 inch teal (or  
related) ribbon. It gets expensive at places like Joanns.


I have a few good candidates from the JKM site, but an wondering  
what the Collective Mind says :)


Thanks!

that she had a bunch where she doesn't know the people in them, so

 I hope you find a home for the photos. I'm sure a lot of the

I generally pay $3 to $10 per wedding photo on eBay.  But I prefer to 
purchase lots so that the price per photo is lower.Edwardian photos seem

to be hot on the market right now.  They are commanding higher prices for
the mid-Edwardian photos.  I just paid my highest price for a bridal photo
on eBay for a mid-Edwardian of $25. Got into a bidding war for that one. 
But I am using it as my logo and background for the Edwardian section of my
bridal site. Locally, I pay from $3-6 per photo.  The venue dictates the
purchase price.  The highest prices are at antique shows.  In my area there
is an antique paper store that has a massive antique photo section.  He
supplies antique photos, magazines, and newspapers for films.  He gives me
really good discounts.

There are three eBay dealers that feeds photos to me.  One is located in
Egypt and we now by-pass eBay all together.  He specifically sells me
mid-Eastern/Egyptian wedding photos.  Another dealer has high quality photos
for wedding and first communion.  I collect both.  The third dealer sells
large lots of wedding snapshots.  I will buy whatever these three offer
because they know what I am looking for.  Otherwise, I am at the point of
filling in gaps in wedding photo collection.  I just received my first
African American photo. It is rare to see these photos come up for auction. 
I paid a little higher for it.  We are going to research this photo a lot
because the groom and groomsmen may be the Tuskegee Airmen.

The highest price that I have paid for any photo on eBay is $100.  This was
for my website, A Brush with History: Vintage Hairstyles
http://www.costumegallery.com/Hairstyles/Longhair/Women/menu.htm  The photo
is a stereoview and is the one used in the logo.  The lady in the photo 
inspired the title of the area.  She is holding a beautiful brush.   The 
Victorian lady photos with their hair down are kinda like Glamour Shots
today.  They were very hard to find and cost more than any of my other
photos.  This type of photos are hot tickets on eBay.

My suggestion for someone wanting to see photos on eBay is to pick a
specialty area to focus.  I have seen dealers who specialize in children
with toys and animals, people in cars, etc.

Re: [h-cost] Edwardian pattern question

[cw15147-hcost00]

Can you provide us with a scan or photo of the picture you're working from? 
Perhaps someone will be able to provide you with a pattern for the right shape, 
that you can adjust to make it match what you want.

Hi Fran,

Thanks.  Yes, I have a lot of the information on Thompson's, just not a
source for the jacket on the cover of the reprint from Lacis.  I suppose
I'll have to give up and make my own pattern, but the original would be
really cool.

Thompson's is an apportioning scale system (not an inch measure system). 
I have a set of their scales and a stack of their publications. Their 
strategy was to give you some fashion plates and some diagrams of basic 
components, and let you decide how to put the outfit together.

Thanks Ann.  I have that one too, but the reprint from Lacis was from a
separate 'issue', published in La Mode Illustree.  I'll keep digging.  I
want that jacket!

And yes, if I have to, I'll do it without finding the original pattern, but
is sure would be nice.!
