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.

The new November issue of Victoriana is available at this link There is no charge for all the articles, just click on them. The article on 1890's carriages is so interesting- and there's a nice Victorian Christmas card holder to make.

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.

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?
