[Elfsea] New Books!

Sat Feb 3 11:43:08 PST 2007

Caterina, you are an angel!  Since you are in an area I have already 
travelled a bit, maybe I won't get lost... but then, your name doesn't begin 
with an A, so I'm not sure, lol.  Yes, I would love to see your books on 
costuming... since my house fire 6 years ago I have been having the most 
awful time getting organized for sewing, and perhaps some inspiration in the 
form of costuming books would help me break out of it and make something out 
of that shot silk I bought a few weeks ago.

Please let me know when a good time to visit your books, *ahem* and you of 
course,  would be.  Since I only check my email twice a week usually, could 
you call me at 817.658.3865 at your leisure?  Like I said in my earlier 
post, I am not working right now so I have *lots* of spare time; I can adapt 
to whatever scheduling restrictions you have with ease :)

Thanks for the offer!  Mairi Besswicke, caled Rua
