Civil War Era Accessories
At one of our shows, a customer was looking for items to wear as a civil war civilian re-enactor. I had a cotton shawl which could be used if made larger and fringe added. I keep researching items to make including Fascinators (a type of shawl), more capes, purses, mitts, garters, collars and designing more hairnets/caps, If anyone has any special needs or requests, please email landysforgifts.com@earthlink.net. Please remember each item is made to order so it may take several weeks.
