. . . of ourselves. I think that we should meet up at the Saturday Market in costume and go for a promenade at the park by the river. We could do it once a month. I am of course suggesting such a thing because I love to be a spectacle, but also for an excuse to dress up like this: www.janeausten.co.uk/magazine/page.ihtml?pid=527&step=4 |

Sounds like a hoot. We could send out a last-minute invite, and a meeting place, and all just do it.

Frankly, it's sort of a wonderful way to advertise AND I'm sure our Saturday market friends (Castle and her friends) would love it too. ::hee hee:: It's no worse than the guy out there who plays some weird instrument in a kilt all the time or any other of hte oddballs hanging out by the park. Plus the shopping is so fun.

I may just have to move to Oregon.

Oh Cosmo, that's a spectacular idea! I must have missed the post when you started this thread. There is an area here known as "The Old Market". I usually accompany a group in December there for an event known as Dickens on the Market and everyone dresses in Romantic or early Victorian. With the snow and no automobiles (they're blocked from entering the area for this) it really does look and feel like the early 19th century - with store fronts, merchants, porches, cobblestone streets, carriage rides and all. There are parks that border 2 sides of the area, one with a canal that has "gondola" rides (really just little boats, but they call them gondola). And on the far side of the other park is the river with a very nice and new river walk. Oooohh the gears are churning. I wonder if I could get the local JASNA chapter out of their books and do something like you describe. Perhaps after our Ball in April I could start scheming...uh...investigating something like that. Hmmm  Cosmo, you're wonderful and so is your idea!!! |
