[64tonya]

[crazydaisy]

Now that's one thread I can contribute to !!
Look at all this stuff that I couldn't get for being extremely financially challenged at the moment - the worst bit is that apart from the first dress the other things weren't even expensive!

It er...went to a good home

Well, if it doesn't fit...

 

[Miss Sis]

Yup, the things that get away 'cos you don't have the money for them, even if they're cheap, are just sad.

That person who got it just isn't going to *love* it the way you would.

 

[StaceFace]

It still wasn't that expensive, but it sure was out of my budget:

 

[CherryKrissy]

I loved this skirt, but got outbid, and with shipping and exchange just could not swing it right now

 

[La Julia]

Love the hat, love the skirt!

 

[AllaboutEve]

It still wasn't that

I saw this hat too, but I wasn't sure about the horse tail, I could imagine being whip lashed in the cheeks if there was a breeze.

It's a beautiful hat and has a terrific shape and structure, I hope that you find another soon. You have such a cute face that I'm sure you'd suit just about any hat shape.

I loved this hat base but I can make one for a lot less than this went for. I can make a hole hat for a lot less.

 

[crazydaisy]

So, new things that I have not come to posses :

Now just to warn you: if any of you have won these, please DO NOT come forward!

 

[Smuterella]

I loved this hat base but I can make one for a lot less than this went for. I can make a hole hat for a lot less.

I was watching that too. How did you learn to make hats?

 

[La Julia]

Yes,I will like to know as well, I don't know anyone that knows how to make hats from scratch

Ir must be great

 

[deadpandiva]

There are a lot of repro hat books on ebay. I have It's Fun To Make A Hat by Helen Garnell and another I can't recall the name of. I have a utility hat block but if your creative you can improvise. For that particular hat base, I'm thinking all I need is to cut a circle of buckram, a circle of wool felt and lining fabric. And for the back 19" millinry wire covered with wool felt. I haven't tried it yet so I don't know if it will turn out.

[Lady Day]

[crazydaisy]

$122 - that's the difference between to have and to not have...

Thse 2 went for very reasonable amounts:

$122 - that's the difference between to have and to not have...

I was looking at this hat too, but decided I already bought to many. Glad I didn't get it I saved $122!!! Incredible how high ebay items are going now! You have to spend at least $100 or over for items. Use to be an average of $50 4 years ago.

 

[Lady Day]

It was BIN at $35 or make an offer. I KNEW it was gonna go fast. Im broke anyhow.
