Florence
So I was looking through some pictures of Denis and I from our trip last year, to Florence and decided to share. This is us on a bridge over the River Arno in Florence, IT.

(Untitled)
It’s that time again when I get to make a new gown for myself - yippee!
So this year I’ve decided to make a Henrichen gown from 1530-1550 as seen in many paintings such as the ones below. I much prefer the French Hood to the English Gable hood (gable is like Katherine is wearing). Over time, the fore sleeves became a little larger, compare ( Read more... ) -
Pennsic 09
Bennet and I have returned from our annual journey to Pennsic. The event was great fun as always - even if it was a bit damp outside. There were many interesting sights this year.
One of my favorite was this wooden horse being “ridden” by a little cutie. I’m always so please when people go the effort of making sure that their children fit the ( Read more... )
