Neither Rain, Nor Snow, Nor Sleet...

Nor Hail, Nor Dark of Night shall stay the costumer researcher from her appointed rounds.

I have not yet heard back from the Museum in regards to the Cheese Ladies. BUT - I have found a PhD Art Historian who conducts private tours of Amsterdaam and excursions to Alkmaar - where resideth the Cheese Museum. (I really do find this too, too entertaining for words). I have enlisted his aid in locating an exhibition catalog. Or maybe I can coerce him into E-mailing photos or some such, if he's amenable to the task.

This is one of those (very rare) instances in which I suspect it is helpful to be able to hang that "Dr." on the front of my name when I make such requests. We'll just all keep quiet that it's a DVM, not a PhD in History or Art or anything remotely related. *evil chuckle*

Though y'all are overbuilding my ego on this a smidge :-). Not that I don't appreciate all the nice remarks. And all the invaluable help. I'm just not sure this little itch of mine is that worthy of it all. Masterwork? *boggle* I's just a baby researcher after all. But I hope to grow up worthy of the accolades. Tanks, guys. And I shall keep you all posted on further developments in the Hunt For the Cheese Ladies of Noord-Holland.

Which reminds me, I need to go back after my map. I think I have a few locations mis-identified, if all those ladies are from cities in the province of Noord-Holland.

I don't think I'm overbuilding :D But since I was crossposting the link I wanted to make sure that someone reading my post wouldn't *steal* the idea so I made a grand statement. (As in keep yer paws off the idea!) I often just put out ideas and people run with them which I like very much so I thought a fair warning was a good idea.

I'm amazed at how fast you are proceeding. You go, girl!

Well, it's not like the whole idea is exactly my intellectual property. *g* Though I appreciate the sentiment, certainly. It's kind of fun to be the first to the peak, so to speak.

Hmmm, the Art Historian in question didn't know. But he pointed me to a couple institutions, and one costume expert by name. So I will try HER, and see how it goes.
