I finally photographed the entire collectection of exhibits that I entered to the Michigan State Fair this year and have created a website highlighting the over 60 items winning over 54 ribbons, 24 blue ribbons and 5 Best of Show!
The exhibit is available for public displays. Joy
Joy,
These are wonderful. The Scarlett dress looks marvelous on your daughter. And I love the step by step dressing pictures. I am truly impressed with all of it. :) I still love the picture of you in the dress that was in Threads. You look mah-ve-lous, dahling! ;)
Thanks so much for posting that.

I just checked it out. Technical difficulties not me.....it is my FREE site. I had no idea it was going to limit my viewers! I guess it says there are too many people looking (too much data transfer) and to come back in an hour. It kind of makes me look like a cheapskate for not upgrading for better service, (which I may have to) but hey, those exhibits weren't cheap! At least I am pleased it was nothing I have to fix on my end of the computer. Oh, and forgot to mention the Baking & Canning Pages are not up yet.
Where's the vacuum cleaner costume???
--Karen M. having mastered State Fair entries and now web site design, wondering what Joy will take on next
Vacuum Cleaner clothes are located at Sewing - General (the Santa design) and Handmade Dolls (the Springtime Bunny disign).
Joy Having "mastered" nothing is now attempting to clean her house!
OK, now you've started something. My DD (not quite 8yo) is now demanding a "Scarlett" dress just like the one on your web page. Maybe for her birthday (but a scaled-down version as I don't think little girls wore stays *quite* that young).

Children did wear stays, but ones that would suck them into to the
18" waist benchmark. More pertinent: their skirts stayed knee-length until about age 15-16. Boys wore dresses (well, un-bifircated garments) too, until grade school.--Karen M. who sees a lot of "authentic" CW re-enactors in t-shirts, shorts, and snoods
