Yet another request..

[femkes_follies]

Anybody want to share names/specialties/contacts for A&S folks who live within a reasonable distance of Chicago and might be willing to travel to RUM - regardless of their Kingdom of residence.

I want to expand my database of potential teachers, and I don't have a lot of contacts to the west of the MK.

I spent last evening with a snuggly toddler in my lap and didn't get a lot done, but got lots of love.

Awww - sweet! :-) No worries - I just wanted to make sure that you actually checked it - publicly listed websites being prone to junk mail and all...

You've given me plenty of time to con someone into sharing the drive, so it's very likely I'll easily be able to make it :-)

I actually live in Michigan, a couple hours up the Lake Michigan coast from Chicago.

That's still just a long-ish day's drive... somehow based on your website I'd assumed you were in Europe (probably just the subject matter - I am happy to be wrong!)

*g* I get that a lot. Probably because I refer to doing things in "Holland" regularly. And I'm talking about the city of Holland, MI.

BTW - some of us are contemplating trying to do some sort of Dutch/German themed event or get-together/Symposium at some point. Interested?

Once I get it done, I'd also like your opinion on my housebook dress, as I'm reading it as a transition between the burgundian gowns and the more fitted dresses that came later.

Yes! I dunno that I have anything to wear (unless a Flemish GFD counts)... but I'm interested!

I would love to see your housebook dress - it's a style I love! I've been looking at the English version of the Burgundian gown (a la Elizabeth Woodville) as a transition step between Burgundian and early Tudor styles. I'd love to compare that with the housebook styles - I hadn't realized before how close the lower Rhine area is to Burgundy and the Netherlands... it would make geographic sense.

Thank you for the translations!
