Re: [h-cost] Looking for Amsterdam museums & events

[costumeraz]

It's been many, many years, but I loved the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.
To this day, most of my favorite artworks are pieces that I saw there.

For whatever it's worth.

It's a very long time since I was in Amsterdam, but the city itself 
is walkable if you are fit and healthy - mostly flat. Most people 
travel by bike or by tram(?).

The Rijksmuseum is one of the great museums of the Western world. I 
saw nowhere near a 10th of it I think. They have an excellent zoo, 
and somewhere near, there are, I believe, diamond cutting demonstrations.

(And of course there is the "Red Light" district, but I think they 
have toned down the area!)

Best I can do, I'm afraid.

Sylvia, 

May I bother you for that link?  I think I've seen it but not sure, and my
history class starts in barely a month!  Wish I were better organized right
now.

I've never come across Marriage by Correspondence.  But I'm shocked to find
they abolished marriage by custom and repute - they kept that quiet!
Another unique little quirk of Scots law wiped out, sniff!

Bjarne,

You are either WONDERFUL or EVIL!  Either way, thank you so much for that
link and the directions for navigating the web-site.  The images are
incredible!

Thank heavens the semester is about over...I wasn't planning on spending the
whole holiday break on a French fashion history web-site, but I just might!

Happy Holidays everyone!

Mary, if no one else has responded, I'd be very interested.  I teach costume
history and am always looking for materials that can serve as primary
sources for a period.  Besides that, I just love the old magazines.

In cleaning out the vault at work I came across two issues of Life Magazines
from 1939 and 1952. The cover article for the 1952 is the "The $3 Billion
Wedding Business". There are some neat pictures of crinolines thought the
one of a guy messing with a silk dress while smoking is scary. The ads in
both issues are facinating.

Would anyone be interested in these? My boss is entirely unsentimental and I
don't have room at home to take on another era. 

Cheers,

RE: [h-cost] A few fabric sources to check out.

The links appear to be 'doubled'.  Just highlight a portion of the link,
from http: through .htm.  Copy that portion of the link and paste it to your
browser.

You need to learn how to read the HTML links.

If you look at the two lines of text you will see 'http://' followed by a
string of characters that ends with 'htm' or 'asp'. This is the link.

Sara's email program pasted the link in _twice_, trying to be helpful, and
it messed up the way that computers read the text and recognize links, so
that when you clicked you got an error. If you read carefully, you can see
the error where it is repeated.

If you take the part that starts 'http' and ends 'htm' or 'asp' and copy it
into your browser address window, it will work.

A lot of times email mangles links, but if you know what to look for you can
pull out the correct address and find the web page.

Gentles of The Lists,
  would anyone like to point me in the direction of a good source
[downloadable or otherwise] for Users manuals for the following Bernina
machines - the 700, 730, & Bernina CMatic 801 Electronic?
   
  Our little Island-isolated groups of  living-history interpreters and SCA
members wanted to start making garb, - and I've bought in a number of sewing
machines from our local equivalent of Goodwill.  Before they go out "on
loan" to members, I want to make sure they all have user manuals. The
trouble is that none of them had user manuals when I bought them secondhand,
and though I've had them all serviced at my own expense by the local Sewing
Machine Engineer, he couldn't provide me with copies of the User manuals for
any of them.
   
  Help! Please?
