Coat for L

My favorite kind of tux ever, but not, I think, correct for Victorian....

Still, not going to stop liking it!

Victorian Boots

Dropped this for a while because we were going to go look at skating boots, but as we haven't had time to do that, I picked up the search. Don't remember if I posted this or not, but some boots had ZIPPERS on the side, in addition to the lacing:

Looks like the zipper only goes part way down the side, but still, interesting. Plus, these are under $100, which definitely gets my vote.

These look kind of interesting too, from a regular shoe place:

Patterns and Shoes and Hats, Oh My!

Stuff that's in - patterns from Rocking Horse Farm, patterns, from Reconstructing History, shoes and stockings from Fugawee, voyageur hats, magnifier in wood case, and hooks & eyes.

Looks like we'll have to correspond with Fugawee to see about shoe sizing. Might be able to stretch my pair, but L's is definitely too small. Nice-looking shoes though, and well-made. The buckles are great!

The patterns should keep me busy for a bit, just browsing through them and trying to figure out which one to start on first...

****
But first... more dishwashing, cleaning, and finishing making those valances, LOL. Oh, and the cover for the freestanding wardrobe too, of course.

And no, we will _not_ be leaving the house to go anywhere today. Snow is plowed, freezing rain is now here.
