RE: [h-cost] VA weddingdress

I remember seeing a gown that could be tied up as you describe. It was online, being sold last(?) year. There was some discussion on this site that it wasn't completely authentic, that it had been perhaps re-made or altered. Sorry, that's all I remember. Maybe someone saved the picture.

Hey guys, Try this! There is a new Google search of Patents that is in Beta. I guess they're only U.S patents, but I'm not sure. Anyway, I searched on corset and got 835 hits with full technical drawings and many with text descriptions as well! I also tried Stays--it got a lot of hits, but not

We had a large rotten maple tree fall on a row boat owned by my cousin, and our power was out for about 30 minutes. But the tree is going to be a huge mess to clean up. We stayed up for hours watching the light show of transformers - and were very thankful that ours is on the ground and we live on

Oil lamps and candle lanterns were the order of the day for us as well, or should I say the night. Most of our county (Clark) lost power at some point, but we were only down about three hours. Our first year in the Pacific Northwest about 12 years back, we had a nasty February ice storm

If my memory serves, it would have been January or February of 1996. My daughter was born in December of 1991, and we moved here when she was 3 1/2, in the summer of 1995. We only lived at the house in Tigard for a year, so it had to be the winter of 1995/96, and I remember it was after

Re: [h-cost] FW: Mushrooms!!

I vaguely remember something about mushroom dyeing with the Scots (16th century or so), but I may be mistaken. I know they did lichen dyes back then (they did purples with lichens), and there is some work on that in modern times. But this is cool. Thanks for sharing. Kimiko
