A good friend just returned from a month long visit to Africa. We will see him for a time today, too. Lots and lots to do. :)
Ciao for now,
Saturday, May 8
Schedule is full...
Yea!!! Lots of work and happy. Just waiting on fabric to arrive-- maybe today? That would rock! I could get two done by tomorrow/Monday if that were the case.

Did you get the fabric yet? Are you pleased with the quality of linen? Thanks Adele
ReplyDeleteNo, not yet. I am getting a little frustrated. I only hope the quality makes up for the anxious wait.
ReplyDeleteIn WA, I had several resources at hand, i.e. stays supply, wool, silk, etc. I had assumed that that was normal for most cities. Apparently not. So I am having to learn the ropes of internet shopping for fabric and supplies. The company I ordered your chemise fabric from was quick and trustworthy, but I didn't like the looseness of the weave of the linen. The navy looks like it should be a tighter weave, but it is a new company I am working with.
Now that we are settled and my "shop" is up and going, I will get a stockpile of the staples, i.e. stays, linens, etc., to have on hand.
I do appreciate your patience. This is not how I like to do business, and I am grateful for your understanding.
I have you in my prayers that your trip will be a safe and joyful one for you.
Warmest regards,
Darcien
Thank you Darcien. I know all about shopping on the web, I haven't shopped for years in stores. I just hope I can get to England this Friday, no more ash! I'm staying at Hever Castle, childhood home of Anne Boylen. The best part of the trip is having the Master Gardener take us on a tour of the gardens at Hever; they are beautiful in May, rain or no rain. I can't wait.
ReplyDeleteOh! That sounds wonderful! My husband and I took a week to ourselves back in 2001 to drive around England and Scotland-- I was in heaven. :D I hope you get fantastic Pics and maybe share some with me.
ReplyDeleteOf course. I will definetly get pictures of the Special dinner our group is having at Hever. There are 30 of us and we will all be in Tudor gowns for dinner that night. That dinner is going to be in the dinner hall of the castle with period correct food/entertainment. It will be fantastic, just the dinner hall alone is pretty cool but 30 women in Tudor gowns will make it seem sureal! The website for the Tour is http:\\tour.theanneboleynfiles.com. Check it, maybe you could go next year!!! Adele
ReplyDeleteoh, wow. That looks phenomenal. I may have to see if it can fit into the budget for next year.
ReplyDeleteDarcien, I am going to send you payment for the bodice before I go on the trip, that way I'll know you have it and I don't spend it.
ReplyDeleteThat is fine if you like. Do you need me to post it on Etsy first?
ReplyDeleteNo, I'm sending it FedEx, you should get it tomorrow. Adele
ReplyDeleteOk, sounds fine.
