50 degrees and sunny? On Feb 2?? I know it's a weird fluke and won't last another few hours, but it inspired me to think SPRING. I got the following pretty fabric cabbage roses at Icing (accessories store at the mall for those of you that don't have one. No, they don't have a website :(

Good for 18th C costuming!



*************

In other news, the moire bengaline I ordered from Ebay came today (for the 1895 half mourning suit that I already made the skirt for). Not quite the same fabric as I had previously. Much more matte, but ok. I still plan to make the jacket, and I hope the two fabrics go together ok. Also, it was packaged like total crap. It was shoved into the smallest flat-rate priority mail envelope with no further protection, but luckily did not get damaged. In addition, I paid DOUBLE the shipping than it actually cost. Usually I don't mind extra shipping costs because I assume it went to pay for packaging, but in this case, it certainly did not as the thin cardboard priority mail envelope is free. I am not able to leave "neutral" feedback within 7 days of a listing's closing, so I wrote to the seller with my concerns. I wonder if they'll write back. Eh, whatever. At least it arrived, and quickly.
