Reenacting is a fun and rewarding hobby. Whether you portray famous historical figures or your own fictional character, reenacting is a form of time travel for those of us who feel they were born in the wrong era. However, reenacting can be overwhelming and very expensive. I hope through this blog to help those new to the hobby, or even those veteran reenactors, to enjoy reenacting without breaking the bank. Blog posts will address things like developing your character, traditions and etiquette for different time periods, and affordable but accurate clothing options. So step back in time to days gone by...

  2. OH KIM! THIS IS AN AWESOME BLOG! I love your ideas. This is a great way to teach, to enjoy your love of the era and to live vicariously through it all!!! teeeeheeee...thank you for coming over and I am so happy that you were touched by The Master through my simple post. I had no idea this morning at 4:00am what I was going to write. I usually composed and post on Friday nights, but I really stretched it by waiting for today. But the fun is to watch the simple words flow out and touch someone. Merci.

    ENJOY YOUR WORK AND PROJECTS!!! Anita

  3. How funny! It's strange how modern technology can throw off the otherwise perfect picture from the past. You must really have to remember to turn off the cell phones when you're giving a presentation (LOL!).
