Hello! My gift was from Carol Kocian, who gave me the book by Mara Riley,
Whatever Shall I Wear? and several small lengths of basic cotton and linen
twill type tapes. And also pieces of a pale green toile cotton for my
quilting, too!
Since I have decided to start playing in the era generally
Glad it arrived safely! I was horribly late in sending it--we've had really
vile, icey weather (although it's mostly just drippy/wet now), and it made
navigating my way to the post office a bit difficult!

My gift exchanger, Tara Broadway got an embroidered purse with a Shorleyker
pattern, mirrored and flipped to make a motif for renaissance use. It was
embroidered on ivory silk taffeta with silk threads.

So far all of my gifts from friends and family have been for the geeky
side of me. (I will be meeting with my sewing/costume friends this
Friday) I got an MP3 player and a new printer/scanner/copier/fax. But
my Secret Santa, Diana Habra, sent me the most beautiful German goller

I didn't really get any this year, and haven't yet received my Secret Santa
present from the list exchange. I got lots of other very nice things,
though...several kinds of chocolate, a nice teapot, cat toys for my kitties,
a historical cookbook, etc.
Oh, waitI did buy myself a kit from
Costume-related: one of my sisters gave me half a yard of deep claret cotton
velvet for costumes--she said it was an odd present, but I can already think
of three ways I could use it for this summer's production!
Textile: my other sister gave me a throw, Lord Ganesha batiked on hand-woven

My husband thoughtfully gave me several books from my costuming
wish-list, The Little Hat Book, How the West was Worn, and a book on
making victorian style ribbon trim (coincidentally I had been drooling
over the very title a week before because I bought it for my exchange
recipient).
I received a box from Germany that contained a lovely porcelain Faberge
egg. I'm having tourble figuring out the giver's name. Thank you
Secret Santa, who ever you are.
The closest costuming item I received was that my daughter I spent
part of the weekend updating my website and moving it
Hi!
I received a child mannnequin from my parents this Christmas, so I now have a
'set' - the baby, toddler and child. I also received a copy of 'The Tudor
Housewife' by Alison Sim, which has a chapter on housework, which includes the
Tudor way of doing the laundry and stain removal! I
I received a book on beading, and my secret Santa gift was a
beautiful bookmark from Rebecca Schmitt. It is done in
meticulous blackwork and is too pretty to use (but I will
probably use it carefully - maybe in QEW Unlocked). Most of my
gifts were more cat than costume oriented. Oh well, most
I am embarrassed to say that I threw the box away before I had a chance to
copy the name off it. I think she was from Oregon or Washington. It was a
great fur shrug like they have in all the stores now. The ribbon was a
chartreuse color. I just love it. If you recognize yourself, please email
My secret Santa was Catherine Kinsey, who made the most wonderful needlebook
out of handdyed linen, with a mermaid embroidered in silk floss. As if that
wasn't enough, she enclosed a brass pin dating from the late 1600's.
Since I do a LOT of handsewing, I've already put both items to use, and

Are we not going to have the traditional discussion of what
costume-related gifts everyone got?
I got Nora Waugh's Cut of Men's Clothes! Yay!
But that's all for costume-related stuff. Non-costume, I got A Series of
Unfortunate Events tomes 4-5-6, the whole Narnya series, a couple of DVDs,
It's a fancy clamp-thingy, that functions almost as a third hand, to help
you with some sorts of handsewing tasks, when a third hand would be really
handy (no pun intended, truly...just feeling the lack of a good vocabulary
tonight).
I don't own one, but I've seen them in the occasional catalogue
