Jon Greenfield bought me a $100 gift credit card for my birthday, but me being in Japan and Japan not being big on credit cards anyway he didn't send it. He gave it to me when I saw them at the beginning of the week instead, and I've been looking for a place to spend it since. So, since I'm going back tomorrow, I splurged at Amazon and got four of the more recommended historical costume history and pattern books. I am excited for them, though it's sad that they will have to be shipped here. I'm going to ask mom to flat rate them out to me.

The new plan is to buy a cheap sewing machine and see how much I can get done over the year. First on the wish-list is a Chemise la Reine, and all the proper fittings. Then we will see about the rest of the late 18th century wardrobe, and finally move into Victorian. Hopefully.
