Sometimes things just appear online or in my inbox, and I
have to share them! Thus, here are four things you need to know about, this
Friday:
The Historical Fashion and Textile Encyclopedia. Oh, what a treasure trove of terminology
by Leimomi Oakes, a textile and fashion historian, sewing teacher, writer, and
speaker, otherwise known as the Dreamstress. She offers definitions for types
of fabrics and styles, and gives you dates of first use, if known. Priceless!
Food in Season in 19th Century England. Could a lady eat carrots at
Christmas? Mussels in March? This wonderful blog entry pulls together
information from period literature to show us what was available to eat when.
New Blog for Clean Romance Reads. Eight authors of clean romance, ranging from contemporary
romance to romantic suspense and our beloved historical romance, just launched a
new blog, Clean Romance Reads Café. They’re giving away a Kindle Voyage to
celebrate. You might want to show them some blog love. J
Free Online Romances About Thanksgiving. And speaking of sweet reads, 13 authors from the Heartwarming
line are sharing free online romantic short stories between now and Thanksgiving.
They are contemporaries, but nobody is perfect.
Happy Friday!
