Re: [h-cost] What costume-related holiday gifts did you get?
Well, I got a band saw so I can make my own jigsaw puzzles. So, if I make puzzles from prints of historical portraits, I guess that is costume related! -Original Message- From: h-costume-boun...@indra.com [mailto:h-costume-boun...@indra.com] On Behalf Of Lavolta Press Sent: Saturday, December 25, 2010 1:19 PM To: Historical Costume Subject: [h-cost] What costume-related holiday gifts did you get?

Re: [h-cost] What costume-related holiday gifts did you get?
My costume-related gift, from my wonderful sister-in-law, was a pair of lace-up Victorian-style boots -- that actually fit my ridiculously long and skinny feet! I'm thrilled! Those have been on my wish list for quite a while now. Congratulations to everyone on the costume-related haul. Great topic, Fran! And all of you who posted book titles have just given me a gift -- a reading list. :-) Happy New Year and best wishes to all!

Re: [h-cost] loot query...
Thanks for the information. I think we'll scan the cover and make ourselves a dustjacket. Our books need the actual extra protection, although we're not collectors or anything. chimene On Dec 26, 2010, at 12:10 AM, Robin Netherton wrote: On 12/25/2010 2:00 PM, Patricia Dunham wrote: Anybody know?

Got a pair of real Victorian gold seed pearl earrings from my parents. Very pretty rather dainty.
