Market Fair and Stays
Fort Fred market fair was lovely. Spent 2 days there (not dressed). Picked up some goregous ribbon, a kerchief from B & T, some linen thread for buttons,leather binding for stays, and fustian for new stays/jumps. M put a down payment on a print of a painting of our unit that was just finished. It's great! We will pick it up at Rock Ford in June.

This just made me laugh!!!
It also can be used as a weapon against bacon bandits and other misbehaving members of the unit.
OMG, you're giving me ideas! But then again, i already have the Spoon of Doom to defend my kitchen.
And I really need to make a pair of 18th century stays or jumps myself...

I have a rolling pin of righteousness but it's always good to have a back up. I have been threatening to obtain a pair of pistols or a blunderbuss. Our waggoner is useless except for talking someone to death and I hope he gets captured at some point but they will probably just give him back. :-)
Whenever you take up that endeavor I am here for moral support.

I have no idea when I'll feel up to tackling stays. But good to know, thanks!
