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.

I'm so glad you like them! They look very good in the pictures. I was terrified that you wouldn't like them in the end, haha. I hope you get great use of them this winter :)

Thank you, they are a bit snug, but like you said a bit of stretching and they'll be fine. Actually after wearing them I didn't really notice.

I can't believe you sent back the wool. You didn't need to do that. I didn't expect that.

I hope others contact you for commissions.
