 Amazon Dry Goods

 * Forwarded from "Internet - Textile Crafts"
I'm providing the address for Amazon Drygoods.  For those who
don't yet know about them, they specialize in historical goodies
from a vast array of time periods.  Their wares include

  o patterns and clothes--Ancient and medieval through
    twentieth century.  You want a pattern for a mid-Victorian
    riding habit?  They got it.  You want a flapper costume?
    They got it.  They even have some patterns for the more,
    uh, generous figure.  Some things you can by ready-made.
    I bought a hooped petticoat from them a couple of years ago.

  o shoes and boots--They have some patterns, but they also
    will supply custom-made footwear (for a price, sigh).

  o headgear--Hats!  Some patterns, but also some ready-made hats
    are available--as well as supplies.

  o books, stuff 'n' things, and edibles--These tend toward the
    Victorian, mostly, but are fun anyway.  Toys, housewares,
    instruments (not many), thingamajigs.

They have four separate catalogs (they don't correspond to the
list I made above).  Heaven help us all, they take Mastercard,
Visa, and Discover.
