[h-cost] Fwd: CC-27 Hotel Reservations
If anyone is planning to go to Costume-Con 27 in Baltimore this May, and hasn't made hotel reservations yet, here's a note: (The hotel is: Crowne Plaza Baltimore-North 2004 Greenspring Dr. Timonium, MD 21093 If you want to make reservations by phone, please call 1 877 2 CROWNE (877 227 6963), the Group Code is COS. ) Sandy From: Martin Gear Date: Wed, 07 Jan 2009 10:13:18 -0500 Subject: [ICG-D] CC-27 Hotel Reservations People - I am still getting reports that the 800 number for Crowne Plaza is giving people wrong information about rooms. The latest was that our block was 99% full and that there were no non-smoking double doubles available at the con rate. I wish that we were 99% full, but we are not. If we were, I'd make the hotel increase the size of our block which our contract permits me to do. As far as no non-smoking double doubles at the con rate that also is not true. If you call the 800 number and get that kind of BS, make your reservation for the room type that you want, and email me your confirmation number and a not regarding what kind of line you are being handed, and I'll get it fixed. Please note, I can do this up until March 1st. I may or may not be able to do this until April 1st, and after April 1st the hotel has the right to charge the rack rate, so make your reservations NOW if you haven't already, and feel free to pass this email on to anyone you think might be interested.

Re: [h-cost] More black ruffs?
Actually any of the below. I have pictures of black lace trim on rebattos - on cuffs too. I have pictures of black and saffron colored lace (a little later) but it is only on a neckline border and cuffs. I am pretty sure I have seen a whole black ruff - I just can't find it!

Re: [h-cost] More black ruffs?
Sorry, I'm confused. Are you looking for entire ruffs that are black. Made from black fabric? Or are you looking for a ruff (colored or white) with black edging? The edging would seem to be not uncommon, I just have never seen portraits of anyone wearing a black ruff for the basis. What an interesting find if you do! Please be sure and share.

[h-cost] More black ruffs?
I was almost sure I had seen a discussion on this before, but am unable to find it in the archives of either list. I have scanned QEW but not seen anything...so I figured I'd ask you. I am looking for pictorial or inventory evidence of black ruffs -black lace would be nice. 1500~1600. I found this quote from http://www.thelacemuseum.org/education/lacetypes.html "The portrait of Anne of Denmark shows delicate Flemish lace in considerable detail1. A painting of Eleanor of Austria (1498 – 1558) by Thomas de Leu shows a tight bodice edged with a border of very simple black bobbin lace,2 and one painted by Hilliard in 1575 shows Queen Elizabeth wearing a shift edged in black needle lace to match her ruff. Ruffs made of pulled metal of silver and gold were fashionable in this period but a heavy black needle lace was often used instead." I am not sure if these are the pictures: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Anne_of_Denmark_Gheeraerts.jpg http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~buckley/elizabeth1.jpg Thanks, Sg ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
[h-cost] Beading cord for lacing?
I came across some beading cord that looked like a great idea for lacing. Anyone used it before? What was your experience? Sorry for the crossposts. Sg ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

Justine -- if you want to skip the listing fees and percentages charged by ebay or etsy, you can open a free photo account with flickr.com (or another place). Upload all the photos on your flickr account, and put the yardage and price in the description for each photo. Set up a paypal acccount too. Post the link and you'll probably have no problem selling the pieces you don't want. Denise Iowa ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
