Ok, I told you this was a HUGE haul! I think the green kaftan, or the fabric... are my favorites from this one! what are you most excited about in these finds?
I'm so happy to have found you because you are a jewel to watch. You are most certainly an old soul and we share a common love for the 20's 30's and 40's fashion. I have 20,000 pairs of eyes to share you with and I think they will agree with me on your channel. I love all of the pieces but my favorite has to be the beaded scarf, such a great find.
Awww A Layne thankyou so much that is so sweet! I'm super happy that you like what I am doing so much! I keep having flashes of ideas of how to use that beaded scarf....! xx
60's!!! You know there are so many great design form the 60's I am really happy to hear that you are into that decade! I should have some transformations coming up soon!
I just discovered you about a month or so ago, and I’m pretty sure I’ve watched all your videos already and always get excited for new ones. Love them all! #lovefromAlabama
That is fabulous news! Thank you so much for following and I'm really excited to hear you're excited about new videos! It makes me want to make more! xx
Could you do a video on tieing your head scarves? They look so pretty on you. I am 69 and my hair is thinning, especially on the top of my head . I think there are times when a pretty scarf would be really handy.
I love that vintage sofa. I want one like it. Also that floral would look so good as a 1930's or 1940's look . I just gave me that vib of that timeline, but you know the era's styles better than I , even if I am older . I am not that old to know enough. Just the puc of my mom from days gone by. Awesome haul.
I got so excited when I saw that you had a new thrift haul video out! I love sewing books. I have some from the 1940's on up. That black scarf is gorgeous. I have that McCall's skirt pattern or one very similar.
Fantastic, looking forward to them. I've done some sewing and have a few things I really need to alter, but am too worried to get it wrong or sometimes, I just don't know where to start.
Yes, that can be the most daunting! It sounds like my new course might be just right up your alley then, it is how to alter and refashion with a vintage style twist! Im about to launch a fun workshop for it in a few days, if you follow me on social you will get all the links! I think you should definitely take a look as it might be just for you!
I love everything honestly please do more hauls in the future. It's so cold here in Canada hahah. You should also do a video about your jewellery and hats. Also I will ask again but please PLEASE do a hair tutorial because honestly I adore your hair and I haven't seen any styles like it. I struggle with finger waves must be magic...
Thanks so much for watching!! Chu A I literally just did a whole Instagram story about my hair and my perm! You can find me @evelynwood_vfh It might explain a bit for you!
+Barry Keller Ha ha! If you follow my IG evelynwood_vfh I do alot of fashion posts there! Pretty much the same thing as always wear! It could make a great youtube video!
You most likely got an answer to the question about your heavy metal find, but if not here is the answer. You were close with one of your guesses. The object is called a florist frog. You use it for fresh flower arrangements. It is placed in the bottom of the container and the spikes help hold the flower stems.
evelyn, you're adorable! I really enjoy watching your videos with my boyfriend, even if it's only explaining what you bought hehehe keep going, sweet lady, and please, don't change the wonderful way you are 😘 kisses from spain
I am wondering how you organize your scarf collection. I have a lot of scarves of all sizes and they are a hot mess when it comes to storing them. Please do a video on how you keep your collection where you can find things.
hahah I have mine hanging from one of those hanging things that have lots of 'circles' joined together, the scarves just slide in and hang on my wardrobe doors! perhaps this could make a great video! Thanks for the suggestion!
What an amazing haul, Evelyn. Tell me, what do you do with all the clothes that you get and refashion? You'd need a small castle to keep them all in. Do you sell them? What? I'm really curious to know...if I don't seem too nosey! () : ) Great video.
+Doro Ha ha ha a small castle would be fabulous!!! I did have alot of clothes! I did used to re sell some, but these are for me and my collection now!!
Dear Evelyn Wood, love your uploades on UA-cam. I've truly been binge watching your videos. Ofcourse I "liked"👍🏻 them all & subscribed to your Channel & clicked on the 🔔icon for future notifications✌🏻. I have a 🤔Question: what do you use, when your put your secondhand trim & lace through a "soak", to remove old stains? Thank in advance ❤️. Greetings 👋🏻 from The Netherlands🇳🇱
You are adorable! Love your channel and your style! I used to dress in vintage, but now that I'm older my style has changed~ More neutrals and classics I like. If I wore a vintage dress and head scarf, I'd feel ridiculous, but you looks brilliant~ I still do love vintage jewelry, furniture, scarves, shawls, glasswear and many other things however~ Really will enjoy your channel! Just subbed~nice to meet you~ xo from CA I;d like to know: what does a gal like you do in her real life? Do you have a job? Own an antique store? would love to hear~ It's hard to live in this modern life, as an artist, like you, been there, done that......Oh how I wish you were my neighbor! we'd be friends! Have you watched "miss fisher's murder mysteries?" on Netflix? Fabulous outfits~
Hi Ingrid! Yes I LOE Miss Fisher! I got to go to costume exhibit!! And... this is my real life! I am a dressmaker and sewing teacher and specialize in vintage design! And just working on building and expanding my business and meeting great other vintage people like you! My home is full of vintage things too! x
Where I live it is hot and humid, so polyester is extra hot and clammy and I don't like it! Also, I like to stick to natural fibers as they give a more authentic vintage look, as opposed to very obvious modern polyester!
Ok, I told you this was a HUGE haul! I think the green kaftan, or the fabric... are my favorites from this one! what are you most excited about in these finds?
You can find out if your fabric is cotton or synthetic by burning a small square. If it turns to ash it's cotton or melts it's synthetic.
I learned to sew in the 60's 70's so your vintage sewing book would suit me.
I'm so happy to have found you because you are a jewel to watch. You are most certainly an old soul and we share a common love for the 20's 30's and 40's fashion. I have 20,000 pairs of eyes to share you with and I think they will agree with me on your channel. I love all of the pieces but my favorite has to be the beaded scarf, such a great find.
Awww A Layne thankyou so much that is so sweet! I'm super happy that you like what I am doing so much! I keep having flashes of ideas of how to use that beaded scarf....! xx
Such a good haul. Fell in love with the trim you had to remove the spots on. So different!!
Now I've found you, I'm seriously going to try refashioning some of my thrift buys. Thanks for a lovely video Evelyn!
Beautiful Rue Cambon scarf and haul. Inspiring!

It's my favourite decade
60's!!! You know there are so many great design form the 60's I am really happy to hear that you are into that decade! I should have some transformations coming up soon!
Yay! Looking forward to them! I love the vintage community on UA-cam to bits but it definitely needs more 60s 😜
That last pattern with the scooped neckline an full skirt bottom, I have an bought it when it first came out ! LOL
Love all your special finds .
Yes!! And I love yours too! So much fun is to be had rummaging through junk to find the treasures! x
That caftan could work as a blanket, haha! 😸 The fabric and color is so pretty though, I'm sure you'll make a lovely dress out of it!
+Thats So Ari It IS a blanket with a neck hole!! I just love the print and can't wait to get into this one!
You're so cool! I love the 20s and 60s
I just discovered you about a month or so ago, and I’m pretty sure I’ve watched all your videos already and always get excited for new ones. Love them all! #lovefromAlabama

Fantastic, looking forward to them. I've done some sewing and have a few things I really need to alter, but am too worried to get it wrong or sometimes, I just don't know where to start.

Can you plz make a video on how you style your & head scaf
I have a few videos already you can find on my channel!
Those scarves!
I am totally addicted!! I'm glad I'm not the only one with scarf fascination!

I love your videos! 😘
Thanks for watching!
Evelyn love you. Please show us how to tie scarfs.
Ana Diaz she already did it, check up her old (but gold) videos 😉
Yes Ana I do have some old ones! I might have to do a new one on 20s styles!
evelyn, you're adorable! I really enjoy watching your videos with my boyfriend, even if it's only explaining what you bought hehehe keep going, sweet lady, and please, don't change the wonderful way you are 😘 kisses from spain
Aww that's so sweet, thank you! I'm so surprised that 'what I find' is so popular and what everyone wants to see! xx
Love

Gee......is navy your favorite color?! LOL
hahaha, my wardrobe is full of it! But funny that red is my favorite!
Great finds! Do you have a secret formula/product for removing stains?
Thanks for watching! Um, really depends on the stain! I like the Sard Wonder soap, and the Nappy San in the bright pink container! They always work!
what were the average off the rack dresses from the 20's, 30's, and 40's usually made of? Thanks
Hi Buff! Most dresses from this era were cotton silk wool or the new fibre of the moment, rayon!
Why is polyester bad?
Where I live it is hot and humid, so polyester is extra hot and clammy and I don't like it! Also, I like to stick to natural fibers as they give a more authentic vintage look, as opposed to very obvious modern polyester!
