Family, Friends & Fun
This
page is dedicated to all of our loved ones who have gone on before us to prepare
the way. Be they 2 footed or 4, they are all members of our family, loving
and loved. And greatly missed by us all.
Beloved and greatly missed friend, companion, buddy and son: Barkley. Aged 14

Here you are going to find links to places I hope you will like. Friends who have sites that I find interesting, who make or sell items that are different, have viewpoints that are controversial, or just fun things. If you are close minded, bigoted, prudish or otherwise not willing to listen, look and experience life outside of a narrow, strait-laced view - exit out of this page now before you find something that might shatter your preconceptions of what life is supposed to be like for 'everyone else'. To quote a truly wonderful bumper sticker I once read, "I simply cannot abide intolerance."
Shadow, aged 4 months
Shadow, being 'cool' in his shades!
Our newest 'baby', Misty. She is only 5 months old here, and already
the size of a full grown kitty Newest picture of Misty, in Daddy's arms. Here
she is weighing in at 15 pounds!
and you can see she is an arm full!!
She is only about 10 months old - not even full grown!
According to the Vet and the breeder, she should top out at about 20 pounds!! Making her one of the largest female
Maine Coons in the US!! It is really a shame we had to go 'snip-snip' on her! I really, REALLY wanted to show
and breed her. UNTIL the Vet explained about HEAT in cats! Research it. It is NOT like in dogs! And there is NO birth control
for cats. NONE. You can't give Depo-Provera to cats, like you can to dogs. Not unless you want to kill them, that is. So, 'snip-snip'.
What a shame!! She is SO gorgeous, and has the "Show Cat" personality, in SPADES! (read bitch, here)
I am going to put pictures on this page of my family, some of my past customers in their period clothing [Rogues Gallery link below!] (some of them were kind enough to send me photos of themselves! Thank you!!), my Quality Control Inspectors (Hobbes - passed on, Barkley - passed on, Shadow and Misty) and anything else that catches my eye. I will also add some links to other pages I hope you will check out.
A wonderful place to go for patterns if you are interested in making your own costumes or clothing, with terrific people behind the scenes. The patterns come from a variety of places, and range from pretty (but definitely NOT period correct) to made directly from examples from the period in question, and you will have to make sizing adjustments yourself! From easy to expert, from fun costume to serious re-enactor - you can find it all here!!

I have found a wonderful place to get those great headpieces for 'Faire or Fantasy! You will have to check this site out if you need head wear! Very talented lady, and she can make some very pretty and dainty pieces for your wedding or 'Faire outfit, or some really WILD pieces for Fantasy!!
Do you have a 4 footed
family member who has passed away, or who is headed in that direction in the
near future? There is a wonderful site where the atmosphere is
understanding and compassionate. You can go there to find ease for a
troubled or hurting heart. We have. They offer memory stones to mark the
final resting place of our 'other' family members, or simply to honor them. We have availed
ourselves of their services three times now (unfortunately). The site is called Rainbow
Bridge, and is a perfect answer to the question of how to honor our loved ones
in a tasteful manner. Please check them out. The address for their
site is:

As this page is still under construction, and hopefully will be continually growing, please look in often to see what has changed, and what new links and photos have been added. This is just the first draft. I haven't even begun to get going on this page... Oh, by the way, get those photos in, please!! I lost a lot of them when my hard drive crashed! So even if you already sent me photos, send them again, OK? Thanks! Link at the bottom of the page...
I have been talking with a couple of corsetieres about providing their services to you, my customers, for Civil War re-enactors or Renaissance enthusiasts, and I am pleased to say that I will be adding at least 1 corset page to my site! All of the contact information will be going directly to the lady making the corset, I will not be involved in the process other than to provide the link. However, I have seen the work and am impressed with the quality, or I would not recommend that you give your orders to this corsetiere! So keep watching for the new corset link, coming soon!!
And, I think I am finally ready to launch my 'Rogues Gallery' of photos for you to look at, giggle, snort, sigh, moan, and make other slightly un-polite noises over, and hopefully share with your friends. But please, share the site, not the photos, as they are just lent to me, and not mine to give. But definitely, point your friends in this direction!! The more, the merrier!
I've added this search bar - you can search my site, or the web. It opens up in a new window, so you don't 'lose' me [grin]. Wouldn't want you to forget where you were! Just choose whether you want to search the web, or this site and click on the big button. Have fun!!
