Doing back to back shows from the Fort Frederick Market Fair to Revolutionary War weekend is a LOT of work, but so worth it. I am one of the original sutlers that have been selling at Rev War weekend from the beginning when it started in 2015. Thanks to Elizabeth Bersche for the wonderful photos! Thank you as well to all those who visited - we were busy all weekend.
I am very late on posting some photos from this year's Military Thru the Ages event at the Jamestown Settlement here in Virginia. It is a really awesome timeline event that is always fun to be at. It is a very hard set-up and tear down event, but so much fun. This year I decided to dress 18th century one day, and early 19th century the next. Thank you to Elizabeth for getting photos of me and the shop as usual, but also of the event itself!

I was recently contacted by the Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia in which to offer my jewelry and resell my book, Tea in 18th Century America. I'm honored to announce that they will be offering select items in their gift shop as part of the reopening of the museum this spring.
For those who visit the museum, look for my jewelry and purchase it! When you purchase there, you support the horses.
This post is a bit out of whack in that it is made over a month after the event. Have been busy with several things with the horses, and just catching up on everything after the show. It is also the beginning of the year, so getting ready for (whispers here) tax season can have me very focused on other things.
As usual, thank you to all who support me and my horses. I could not do it without those who help and purchase from me. With five horses, my board alone is like another mortgage - but I work really hard to provide quality items to ensure I can take care of these amazing creatures. I attend five shows a year, sell wholesale to a few museum shops and other sutlers, and am always looking for new opportunities.
Wanted to share some photos from the show by Elizabeth Bersche, Wendy Tyree, and Gema Gonzalez.

I'm remiss in not posting this on New Year's Day, 1 January 2026. So this is a belated Happy New Year! I look forward to all of the festivities for the 250th anniversary of the United States. This year we remember the men, women, and animals that went through war to get our country on the path to FREEDOM.
On 6 December, the Annapolis Living Historians (ALH) led a Christmas program at Historic Annapolis in the Paca House and Gardens. It was 1775, so the resolutions that had been announced in the Maryland Gazette on November 3, 1774 were in effect, which essentially meant no fun.
