Peter Wentz on the 24th

I just got a nice email from the head organizer lady and she sent me links to a few of the vendors who are going to be there. It's not a huge list but there's a few nice things in case anyone wants to bring some spare cash.

The Scarlet Scarab has the same silk stockings that Reconstructing History carries, and I hope I'm not dooming myself to bad karma by pointing this out, but they're $5.00 cheaper. I have a pair and I wear them CONSTANTLY I also discovered they can survive a machine washing (Husband was trying to be helpful) so now I just machine wash them.  They also have those nice flat straw hats in black. I may grab one of those myself.

Liberty Linens looks like they're going to be there with some nice linens, wools and patterns. I'd really like to get a good look at these J.P. Ryan Patterns everyone raves about. and it's a good chance to save on the shipping!

And Deborah's Pantry looks like they'll be there with period food? Not 100% sure but that could be neat!

Now I've zero history or experience with any of these vendors so I don't know if they're known for quality or not, but I'm rather looking forward to a bit of window shopping!

I was also thinking I'd bring my 16th century playing cards (I don't have 18th century but they look closer right?) and perhaps anyone who wants to could play a game of cards with me :-)

Thanks for the links! I've always wondered where people found those flat straw hats. Let me know how the JP Ryan Patterns work! I plan to expand the eras I dress, but I know not every company produces/explains like Truly Victorian, and that makes me a sad panda.

I've heard pretty good things in general but haven't used them personally before.
