For as long as I can remember I've had an incredible interest in historical costuming and design. The most interesting era to me has always been, but not limited to, the Victorian and Edwardian eras. I have studied costuming and have many books and patterns on historical clothing. I'm also very interested in American military uniforms, dating back to the Revolutionary war. I'm an avid genealogist and my other hobbies include collecting Transportation china and utensils, model railroading, and Steamship collectibles. I think the ultimate dream for me would be to work with someone such as Deborah L. Scott, who did the costuming for James Cameron's movie "Titanic" and was also costume designer for "The Patriot". 
 I would certainly love to hear from anyone sharing the same interests! If you have any questions about the lampshades, or if you simply have a question that you think I may be able to help you with please feel free to email. I will respond as quickly as possible and try to be as helpful as I can.
