I have one, Miss Cheeky, but thank you for the offer. A lovely lapis and silver one.

ETA: Don't know what we're doing yet apparently....but we might be there. :)

It's taken me a while to get this posted up here...but at RF4, we got some 'ladys things'. Michael bought me a small hand mirror and a cobalt blue inkwell and a prayer book. I also got my writing set as well. I collect 'stuff', not necessarily to carry it all around, but for the set up of it, if that makes sense. Really....I don't carry all that much on my person when I am at an event, so I think we are doing well with the stuff gathering. If any one has any other ideas, please let me know! :)

A little off topic....but has anyone uploaded any videos from RF4? I saw alot of video cameras...(and even someone taping all us nut jobs doing the Time Warp) and my aunt is really interested in seeing them!

Thanks for the compliments, guys! I worked on that last night....the photo is us at Viking Fest last year and the rest is a candid shot of part of your amp from RF4. Hope no one minds. I think the name suits....I just need to see if I can change my posting name here somehow.

Oh dear Maddogge- I wouldn't have needed consoling had you asked me to dance. Well...I might have needed a foot rub... Michael helped me pick my piratey persona name *points to the signature*. Ilanah is just my bellydance persona. Or....was. I don't dance much anymore.

Is it a shiny quarter?

Thanks for dolling me up, Cheeky. It was fun! I loved spending time with you and the twins! The bunny....hysterical. I showed the photos to my best friend and she kinda looked, then looked again, then said to me: "Is that a bunny....and what's it doing there?!"

Thank you, Sterling. That website was -incredibly- helpful and had some beautiful things on it. I am not by any means trying to gather everything at once in one fell swoop, but I wanted to obtain a visual of some of the items to keep my eyes open for. I had tried surfing the net to find these things, but never found anything of relative importance. Either way, I have been perusing that website for the better part of an hour (working around trying on my new stays that Michael just completed half hour ago...pictures soon to come I imagine). Thanks!

I suppose that, in needing to know the answer to a rather difficult question, I should have perhaps posed it myself instead of sending Michael in to do my dirty work. Though my other half (note that I did not say 'better' ) wrote what I asked, that was not necessarily what was in my little brain. Having previously done viking re-enactment, we had all of the little details and accessories down to a 't', as it were. Combs, toiletries, utensils, crafting, etc. I did read through everything that Sterling posted (which...you nearly need an entirely separate language to interpret), I am still at a bit of a loss in regards to the general 'stuff' that a lady might have. I like accessories...more than the garb in most regards because I feel that the accessories are what actually makes it. Does that make any sort of sense? Like I wonder if a silver handled mirror would be appropriate? Or a silver comb with ivory teeth? Small crystal jars with powders and scented waters? I am gathering an understanding in regards to the period writing utensils, thanks to the Whydah exhibit and Michael's insistence on dragging us down there twice. The second time around, I noticed the brass dip pen, lead inkwell, and brass seals. And thankfully, I have a certain pirate making me a portable lapdesk that will keep everything contained nicely once I gather the needed supplies. Though I will keep looking and reading, if anyone has some artful direction that they can provide, that would be fantastic. Anything helps and everything is definately considered. Was I clearer, Michael?
