Just in time for the holiday- Victorian shopping. There's everything from antiques to posters and prints. I love the big selection of Queen Victoria portraits.

Don't miss this article "What to do after Thanksgiving dinner"- I am ever-amazed at the thoughtfulness Victorians put into every little thing-and effort. We could all learn something from it.

Shelley: Enjoyed your post - and don't forget my favorite "After Thanksgiving Dinner" treat - a pitcher of Vodka Martinis (stirred, not shaken)

Just kidding - it takes me a year to polish off a six-pack of Bud.

I wish you, and the bunch at 92 Second Street a very

"HAPPY THANKSGIVING!"

I LOVE those carriages! Maybe I'll trade my car in and get one.

Did you try the U-Tube carriage video? The 3-D video on the carriage article? That's the music from the Shelock Holmes series with Jeremy Brett.

Ladies "Pockets" found under collections and exhibits. Seems like a woman's "pocket" was a very personal item to her.

I have been on this site for two days. I never knew I was so interested in all things Victorian. Maybe you should post a disclaimer for those of us with a highly addictive type personality!!!

Great site, got more?
