Re: [h-cost] Holiday/Secret Santa gifts
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 associated with the civil war of the US, I'm definitely going to be using everything! Thank you Carol, for these thoughtful gifts!

Re: [h-cost] Holiday/Secret Santa gifts
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! --Sue, in rapidly thawing Montana - Original Message - From: Carol Kocian [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Historical Costume [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 27, 2005 9:30 PM Subject: Re: [h-cost] Holiday/Secret Santa gifts Naturally mine was waiting for me today when I got home. :-) Sue Clemenger sent some chocolate truffles (Yum!) and a beautiful blank book covered in green velvet, with a Celtic knotwork animal design embossed into it.

Re: [h-cost] Holiday/Secret Santa gifts
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 made from black wool and linen, decorated with a hand stitched border of luscious fawn colored silk! I will put pictures of it up soon on the h-costume picturetrail! Sg ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
Re: [h-cost] Holiday/Secret Santa gifts
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). Cynthia, from the list, sent a box of assorted quilting fabrics and some nifty buttons, for my other textile hobby.

Re: [h-cost] Holiday/Secret Santa gifts
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 over to a new server. The only down part was the problem getting the e-mail reestablished, I had 2 dayswith no mail hopefully there weren't that many bounced messages. As soon as we found the problem I changed all (where possible with out unscribing) my list settings to no mail. A thought for next year if we do this again. I included a copy of the information I submitted to Dawn in the package that went to my gift recipient so she would get to know a bit about me.

My Secret Santa was Jayne Thomas from England who sent me some lovely lengths of fabric- one in a silky, dusty purple/lavender and another in a gorgeous red damask- I think this one is silk. She also sent me pictures of her family and a lovely letter telling me all about herself. Thanks so much, Jayne! Everything got here in plenty of time!

[h-cost] Holiday/Secret Santa gifts
I didn't really get any costume-related holiday gifts. I got a lovely
little 1906 how-to book on book binding, including how to make all those
period-pattern marbleized papers. I'm also getting new glasses, which I'm
having put into frames that are much more period-looking than the ones I
have now. But nothing any more costume-related than that.
I got a mysterious envelope with many cancelled stamps, for my collection,
and two skeins of really interesting thread suitable for either doll hair
or for making small crochet pouches with. Was that the secret Santa gift
to me?
I did finally get the Secret Santa gift I owed mailed today, to someone in
Erie, PA, who says she likes non-usual SCA costumes. I hope she doesn't
have anything like this...
