i be workin on entire vestiments for 13 at present... all for me pending nuptials. time to nick me a slave methinks. 5 dresses, 9 chemises, 4 stomachers, no way i'm makin the corsets, 5 pairs of breeches... the fabric for me coat cost me 80.00 for 2 metres! eeesh! i just made a dash of one from a rather wretched early eighties black felt business lady's hat. big floppy brim with wire... required some bending/reshaping, some plumes and some trim but looks great! good luck! now what about shoes???

oh, and it's slipped me mind... according to legend, my first forefather to come to canada on me ma's side washed ashore from a shipwreck... clinging to a half-full barrel of rum. damn, i so hope that story is true! [ j ]

well as a wee lass i grew up with the salt spray on me face. i miss those nautical days... no seamen jokes now if you will! [ j ]
