Actually Bjarne I sell Enchanted Frogs and Period Toys. Here is our web
site I just got it up and running.

I wish you luck selling your embroiderys they are lovely and well worth
the price. Now for those of you interested I placed the order with
Fabric.com. I got for my prize:
5 Yards of Burn Orange Cotton Velvet
Yard of Dark Olive Cotton Velvet
Yard of Emerald Silk Dupion
3 Yards Sage Green Linen
Yard of Silk Dupion in a Check of Pink, Mint Green, and Yellow
The orange and the greens are going to be my new merchant costume for
selling at faires. Haven't decided if I am going to trim the Orange in
the silk or the velvet. Whichever doesn't become trim will be the hat.
The Sage Green is for the doublet lining. And the Check is for a new
1840's vest for Sutter's Fort. That should turn a few heads.

Hi Steven,
What are you selling at these faires? Is it your embroidery?
I have had succes to sell 4 embroideries lately for ladies purses, and
it is only for people i know on some embroidery lists. I plan to make
many more and take with me when i go to the gustavians, hopefully i
will be able to sell some to the ladies there.
Embroidery is what i do best, and i have as a matter of fact ben
thinking about giving up the costumes, and only make embroidery. But
then again it is rather drastic to say that i wont make any more
costumes, deep inside of me, i know that i will be making more :-)
There is a shop here in Denmark where they sell beautifull taffetas,
and in colours that are to die for. But unfortunately they are very
expensive, it is a shop that sells silks for all the people who goes
to party's with our queen, and therefore their collektion is huge, and
prices high.
Is there a place where we can see your light blue cavalier style? I
would love to see it.

Yes I know Bjarne.
A polyester suit is a bad idea. Even if I was just going to wear it
indoors. But those colors are just so wonderful. I am leaning more
towards a new Elizabethain. In silk and cotton velvet, seeing I will
be selling at a number of faires next year I should have something
spiffy to wear.

Hi Steven,
Now i found out what bengaline is, but seriously when you have won
such a price, it would be a shame to make a suit of polyester
Steven, even that the colours are lovely, but seriously.........

I have to brag!
It seem that I won this weeks $100 Shopping Spree at Fabric.Com.
Still in shock and now I have to figure out what to spend it on.
I've got a dozen ideas all screaming at me. Do I remake, "The Baby
Blue Cavalier" (Remember the first one Regina?) or make some new
Renn Faire clothes in real silk and cotton velvet. Or they have
some real red silk for a drop dead Byzantine and use up all those
pearls that my bead freak Mother keeps giving me, not that I'm
complaining. There is the Celery and Violet Bengaline that would
make a great 1770's suit embrodierd in Ribbons ala Bjarne. And
let's not even look at the wools, I need a new 1840's great coat in
a LOUD plaid. They have orange and pink velvet for some thing
Teddy might wear. AND AND AND
HELP!!!!
