Pretty Pretties

[apollinav]

Come and have a look-see at my new pretty-pretties. I commissioned  bblackdahlia  to knit these gauntlets for me.  I wanted them for my 18th Century winter impression.  I was so excited when they arrived today, I got kitted out in my wools (100+ weather) to show you how awesome they are.   If you don't know her, she writes under the pen name momodesu, and she takes commissions and even knits house scarves.  Think about it.

And because I am told that there are some witchy people out there, here's a close-up on my 18th Century buckle shoes.  If you want a pair, I bought them from fugawee and they are the 'Connie' style.  Fugawee makes all sorts of reenacting shoes from the 18 to 20th century.   And Droxy - according to the Hubby:  Historical reenacting is NOT cosplay.  Just like G.I. Joes are NOT dolls.  (they're action figures!)

By popular request, I've also posted the pic of the flowers christev sent me.

Every now and then you scare me a little, so I totally buy the M16 bit... although do you look very sweet while you're kicking butt.

Love the gauntlets, love the robe (yay! clasp!), what's that on your head? Did you have to put your hair back in a kerchief since you were sporting wool on such a hot day?!

Thanks for posting the fleurs, too, nice to see how they came out! <3 :D

The hair is wrapped up, which is appropriate for the timeperiod and the impression regardless of the season. A woman doesn't run around with her hair loose! Good heavens! That's as unforgivable as not being in stays.

The flowers are lovely. Thank you again.
