MtMan-List: Prairie Vous and Colonial French Dress Book

["Wefarmasmidgen" <wefarm@pcii.net>]

Hi Jeff and All:

Most traders seem to have survived the "big blow" Thursday night with only a
few rips, lost stakes, downed tents, and a lot of wet goods and grass in
beads - especially on Friday, but cheer was good.   It was not a tornado,
but straight line winds - from my understanding, "off the jet stream."  Most
importantly, no one was seriously hurt.  The Saturday night  promised repeat
of the bad weather did not materialize (thank goodness).  It did rain,
lightning and thunder a bit, but no real nasties.

I, too, was impressed with the "Historical Colonial French Dress book".  Not
only pictures, but scaled-down patterns of the costumes.  This is an updated
book from a previous publication, and I thought quite a bit superior.  There
is also a similar publication for 1890's dress.  I hope that the scaled-down
patterns will be a trend in costume books.
