Hi Steven,
What are you selling at these faires? Is it your embroidery?
I have had succes to sell 4 embroideries lately for ladies purses, and it is
only for people i know on some embroidery lists. I plan to make many more
and take with me when i go to the gustavians, hopefully i will be able to
sell some to the ladies there.
Embroidery is what i do best, and i have as a matter of fact ben thinking
about giving up the costumes, and only make embroidery. But then again it is
rather drastic to say that i wont make any more costumes, deep inside of me,
i know that i will be making more :-)
There is a shop here in Denmark where they sell beautifull taffetas, and in
colours that are to die for. But unfortunately they are very expensive, it
is a shop that sells silks for all the people who goes to party's with our
queen, and therefore their collektion is huge, and prices high.
Is there a place where we can see your light blue cavalier style? I would
love to see it.

Yes I know Bjarne.
A polyester suit is a bad idea. Even if I was just going to wear it
indoors. But those colors are just so wonderful. I am leaning more
towards a new Elizabethain. In silk and cotton velvet, seeing I will be
selling at a number of faires next year I should have something spiffy to
wear.

Hi Steven,
Now i found out what bengaline is, but seriously when you have won such a
price, it would be a shame to make a suit of polyester Steven, even that
the colours are lovely, but seriously.........

I have to brag!
It seem that I won this weeks $100 Shopping Spree at Fabric.Com. Still
in shock and now I have to figure out what to spend it on. I've got a
dozen ideas all screaming at me. Do I remake, "The Baby Blue Cavalier"
(Remember the first one Regina?) or make some new Renn Faire clothes in
real silk and cotton velvet. Or they have some real red silk for a drop
dead Byzantine and use up all those pearls that my bead freak Mother
keeps giving me, not that I'm complaining. There is the Celery and
Violet Bengaline that would make a great 1770's suit embrodierd in
Ribbons ala Bjarne. And let's not even look at the wools, I need a new
1840's great coat in a LOUD plaid. They have orange and pink velvet for
some thing Teddy might wear. AND AND AND
HELP!!!!
