With employees in period dress?<br />I would be shopping for dress patterns, period types and print patterns for the era. Modern sunglasses in period style frames. Handicrafts and patterns (and perhaps classes)of how make them. (i.e.knitting, tatting, crochet, needlecrafts) Nothing like modern beading, but real period styles. Pocket watches. Top hats and bowler hats. replica pistols. Recipe books. Does this help?Oldstudenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15820053280870845903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683736061722300041.post-39562515079520289352012-01-15T18:22:56.851-08:002012-01-15T18:22:56.851-08:00Hiya Danute

We had asked in an earlier post for peole who wish to attend to use their imaginations and communicate with us in a period fashion...we have gotten some lovely letters , no deliveries via pony express post to date ,But lovely letters indeed. We are still looking for potential guests so if you are interested send us a line ...30897 Duff Line Dutton N0L=1J0...The rules of the dinner are totally 1st person period (1865) so whomeever attends will be in period garb, no modern(unless glasses) and will have studied /learned/ honed up on current events for March 1865 ,will know how a victorian dinner is run and what to expect ie who will be sitting where and why, when one leaves the dining room and in what order , that sort of decorum...<br />In return you will be treated to a period evening supper with fantastic guests a totally victorian era home and evening...should be fantastic ..Ken & Margaret Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946883411146268601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683736061722300041.post-12148225139836205342012-01-15T18:02:53.915-08:002012-01-15T18:02:53.915-08:00Victorian Merchantiler?

Pretty much everything you listed. Maybe food stuffs like preseves of recipe books to make our own. Kinda like a Spencer's but for the discriminating Victorian palette.Danute Dorionhttp://www.steamworldentertainment.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683736061722300041.post-88192759684046817212012-01-15T17:58:43.710-08:002012-01-15T17:58:43.710-08:00Is the spring dinner by invite only, because it so...Is the spring dinner by invite only, because it sounds like something wonderful that I would love to be a part of.Danute Dorionhttp://www.steamworldentertainment.comnoreply@blogger.com
