Salty

for me bonnet i just use the ribbon so attached, no pin now to ask the devils advocate, what about clothes, such as the head scarves many o the lads wear????? tropical climes being what they are. any documantations of lasses wearing such?

go for it lady, i too like the concept of using art, in as much as i can see it, recalling that the pieces in collections are most like to be upper class and well preserved articles, not perhaps the working class wear that so many of us try to portray.

2 fully equipped sailing ships = pirates dream

i so dont even what to look at the price, i dont need a heart attack...but i have major boot envy

to answer lady brower, tis a wide brimmed flat bonnet rather like yours from what i can tell, will see if i can dig up a portrait of me in it. will try to find the like of the bonnets as well.

sigh, i know hae 3 differnt caps, and i am learning to dislike them all less. better a cloth covering then a sunburned head. My question is does one wear a cap underneath a bonnet? i generally reserve the bonnet for market days and those festivals, very few, that i am not working. mostly i am guilty of twisting my hair up in some fashion and not wearing a cap unless i leave the tent. still confused, ye ships' potter salty almost strictly the dates of GAOP and my hair is waist length. protray the goodwife to an armourer

Why? might make the debugging easier, just a thought. glad to see the pub back up and working as to the reputation, I dont need any help to ruin mine

looks like a damn fyne time was had by all. sorry to hae missed it this year but that could not be helped. cheers dashing as ever dogge

to each thier own be......but it is still just wrong..... and luv nice excuse but it has a snowball's chance o being believed.

just goes to show, a lass has got to make a living. that said on the topic of overwhelming beauty, its all the same in the dark and drunk. standards change with every age and i am sure there was not a differnce in the flesh trade... it is one of the oldest occupations.

Happy Birthday Momma many returns on the day and toast to good health and happiness to you and yours

aye now tis an easy question. give me a scots brouge any and every day.

at events we cannot have open flame, we use braziers. a pan if small bits of bacon, just on the grate if half fowl or other beastie. at events where we can have fires skerwed on spits over it.

ahoy, i will post pics as i can later this day but here is a site about some of the pottery found at port royal http://nautarch.tamu.edu/portroyal/slipware/index.html a basic tankard shape is safe to go with, if it was done before the exact time, chances were the shape was still produced. ye ship's potter salty

ok as i understand, jumps were meant as an informal piece of attire for the home. what i have were called jumps by the lass whom made them and so that is what i hae called them. I also hae seen picture of what looks like the female verson of a waistecoat....my sources are no differnt thus far then what is already been quoted. salty

Aye, least the wee quiz says i do, as i have never been aboard ships but always have wanted to be i think it would be grand. SInce i studied and wished to work in a field related industry (geology) i would truly welcome the openess of the sea. ye ship's potter salty

best wishes for a speedy an complete recovery. prayers to the cap'n and family

I dinae often cry. but that is worthy of weeping over such a loss of beauty from the world. I think posioden himself would weep for that loss.

I am not sure if this will prove or disprove any one's questions on striped, vertical or otherwise. But here is one site i have used when reeasrching historical knitting for the 18 th centurey. http://www.marariley.net/knitting/knitting.htm i have NO idea how to post so the links work anymore, but there is one site. Ye Ship's Potter, turned fiber rat. salty PS in talking to a woman that handles historical yarns from the UK they are coming up with more documentation all the time in the museums. PPS Dutch how could gunner polute the wee laddie's mind when the likes of cousin robbie be about :))
