Well, I got Medieval Clothing & Textiles #7 for my birthday on Dec 4... don't know if that counts, 8-)
But this morning there were 2 books about SCA-period cooking & recipes, lots of other books, a lovely set of long scarves that "Santa" found at the flea market, but not really anything costume-related. Well, not SCA-period costume, did get a Mucha calendar with a few images that are actually new-to-us. (We do SO miss the Medieval Women calendar series!) The Queen's Servants sounds interesting, as my husband has an interest in HVII period, and I am a Ricardian. I look forward to other tales-o'-loot! Have a nice Day! chimene On Dec 25, 2011, at 11:45 AM, Lavolta Press wrote: > I got: > > War and Worship: Textiles from 3rd to 4th Century AD > The Queen's Servants: Gentlewomen's Dress at the Accession of Henry VIII > Ornamentalism: The Art of Renaissance Accessories > The Empire's New Clothes: A History of the Russian Fashion Industry 1700-1917 > Facing Beauty: Painted Women and Cosmetic Art > > Also DVDs of seasons 1 and 2 of the Spice and Wolf anime series > > I gave my husband (among other things) Volume 2 of the graphic novel The > Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec, which I am looking forward to > reading after he does. > > What did you get? > > Fran > Lavolta Press > Books on historic clothing > www.lavoltapress.com > www.facebook.com/LavoltaPress > > > _______________________________________________ > h-costume mailing list > h-costume@mail.indra.com > http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
