mrsbrownMy Festival experience has been captured by others. Check them out here, here and here.
And here's my list of stuff to think about next year:
We nearly filled the truck, we should be careful about enthusiasms that take up lots of space.
I'm looking forward to making the new armouring tent in this style - http://home.adelphi.edu/sbloch/ma/tents/pictures/froissart/duras.html
We need better storage for tools and armour
I need to find pictures of people wearing my style of cotehardies with aprons. I'd like an apron or 4, I just haven't seen many. OTOH, I might not have been looking properly.
My family needs more linen underwear. I'm mostly concerned for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mr_bassman, but I'm happy to provide the linen for the others.
I found the coat I had made Rose, as we were unpacking. It was with us the whole time, just in a spot I didn't think to check. It's a shame as it would have been very useful. Oh well, it will now be used as her dressing gown.
I want a new warm coat/dress like this one - http://www.wilsonsalmanac.com/images1/jan7_distaff1.jpg It looks easy to put on the in the morning, and can keep me warm enough until the day warms up. Note the apron too. Can someone tell me who this paintin is by? I can't find it anywhere that lists it's provenance. Found it! - http://classes.bnf.fr/ema/grands/721.htm
Rose needs more hats, or even one.
My class went well, mainly from taking a leaf from MsNotaGoth's book and spreading news by word of mouth.

Date: 2009-04-20 11:53 am (UTC)I've seen it in the painting "procession of the League" (around 1590) - http://www.myartprints.co.uk/cgi-bin/mapcu (woman in lower left corner); an engraving of a french peasant in a 1565 book - http://www.bvh.univ-tours.fr/Consult/consult.asp?numfiche=65&index=22&numtable=B372616101_3540_1&mode=1 and a picture of a peasant woman in a french book of hours from, I believe, around 1535 (that site is down at the moment and I can't confirm the URL).
It looks quite comfy, doesn't it.
