Hi Folks,

Well, the School of the Soldier down at Fort George, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario was great!  Informative, fast moving, and in a great setting.  Unlike some other venues, at no time did we feel unwelcome.  Congratulations to the many people that organized the event.  I look forward to participating again!

To me new friends in the 42nd RHR, Harry and Iain, it was a pleasure to meet you.  Your dedication to authenticity and accuracy are welcome in a hobby that sometimes looses sight of it's goals and focuses on the "bang-bang" too much.

The Battle of Longwoods took place on the first weekend in May.  What a change from last year!  I don't mean the event, the Scots Lights always run a good event.  I mean the weather!  It was fine!  A harbinger for the forthcoming season!

After several requests and several complaints about getting Canadian money orders (who knew?), I have hooked up with PayPal!  This should make life a little easier for all of us.

Over the next couple of days, I will be adding some new items to the catalogue.

"Present!"

Have your say!

Is there a period gentleman's item that you are craving?

E-mail me at sew_historic@yahoo.ca and let me know!
