This is so fascinating. We just found out that there is a group that hosts a colonial ball quite close to where we live. Now 18th century costumes are on the bucket list. 😂 I was into historical outfits as a child - I think once was Dolly Madison for Halloween- but I’m not very good at sewing so I never got into it as a “hobby.” I love seeing the fruits of other peoples labor in that regard, and yours are really beautiful!

I am mesmerized, as I always am, by the pictures of your stays. Something gentle and quiet seems inherent in them, and you do look lovely in the photos. I am glad to see you "at work" again, and know how rewarding it will be to WEAR these, go about in them, and feel something beyond the here and now, which is real in this kind of effort. It seems you do excellent work. Bravo!!
