One or the other, both marvelous costumers.) I got to dress in the room next to the principal females, so I saw that magnificent gown up-close-and-personal every night. <br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Colony_(play)<br /><br />Also read about the 2 different costume shop fire's, one in 1947 and one in 2007. Unfortunately Irene Smart Rains storage building was completely destroyed in the second fire, destroying many of the original pieces. :(<br /><br />Hope this has given you some great insight as to the level of amazing talent involved in this production. Being a Roanoke Island native, I think it should get a bit more credit than it does ;)<br /><br />Cheers!<br />xoxo<br />Mollie Davisanalog sigilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09741177989219999546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1831247001957175670.post-88158609546972165022012-07-12T02:59:43.739-07:002012-07-12T02:59:43.739-07:00What a perfect weekend!

Lovely gown though. Sounds like you had a great time! And that antique sampler!!! Whatever you paid, I bet it's worth it. Gorgeous! Loooove your giraffe sampler too. I'm glad you treated yourself to some top stitching. lol! Sometimes getting that first figure down and some prettiness on the piece helps you to get through the boring parts later on, so I think that was a wise move. Love it!Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03646028248366805686noreply@blogger.com
