repost from tailordrews journal

Two things that tailordrews posted in his journal that I thought was interesting to share with those few who don't already read his journal.

Marie Antoinette's mechanical doll

I've not seen a doll move like this before.

And photos from an event he goes to regularly, 1700 fair at Gammel Estrup.

It has lots of photos of the various people doing things from cooking to blacksmithing to selling their fine painted pottery. What really has my eye actually are the merchant stalls... which remind me of my old Viking tent setup in the MacLeods, where we would lift up one side to provide shade during the day. Some of theirs are using tree trunks and long limbs. Oh, and there are lots of pretty costumes, too.

re-enactment, tailor's shop, video
