I got a comfy. but beautiful, chair for my desk where I write, a digital camera, a table for the living room, pearl earrings, a HUGE Barns and Noble gift cert., lingerie, books on history (Alexander the great, and Kings-- for my costume history class.) I bought my husband a bunch of wonderful picture books (Battles, Weapons and Warriors) that will probably find their way to my scanner really soon-- great costume pics. And videos.
I bought myself the fresco books and Dress at the Court of King Henry VIII and some others... Now to find a place for everything...

I bought myself a number of costuming books this year, and in fact got a number of books for Christmas, but none of the Christmas books were costume-related. They included The Far Traveller; Colors: A History of the Palette; Ancient Egyptian Dances; God's Secret Agents : Queen Elizabeth's Forbidden Priests and the Hatching of the Gunpowder Plot; Letters from Nuremberg: My Father's Narrative of a Quest for Justice Also received: the soundtrack for "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" (the third movie); a small fire extinguisher for the kitchen; Munchkin Impossible (a card game); The Good, the Bad, and the Munchkin (ditto); miscellaneous small items, and a $50 Barnes & Noble gift card to share with my husband. -- Cathy Raymond <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."-- Mark Twain _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
