Peoplo's & Bogdresses
(see also Greek or Roman Dresses)

I have a few pieces of Garb called Peplo's they were worn by many cultures and are great for warm weather events. Normally you wear them with an long sleeve under tunic but you can wear them without as well.

I have two that are a Plaid pattern already and I wanted to again spruce up a project I'm making. I hand wove the trim, its called Inkle weaving. I made this Dress to be used in three ways 1) peplo with under tunic 2) Peplo with no under tunic 3) A peplo of the green/roman look



The other two Peplos I have, I acutally  have photographed with the undertuic: see below for example

I really felt on US soil when we went to Burger King and there was raspberry Ice tea. You see in Canada there are no flavored sodas and teas like that. I miss raspberry ice tea as well as L...

Hello Beautiful

How times have changed and how things that once were OK are not and no longer carry the same feeling or intent.  When you think of the word “woman” and do you automatically think bitch or hussy, baggage or bit? According to various traditional dictionaries, synonyms for “woman”, which came as a bit of a shock, and possibly more insightful on why certain generations use words such as these to describe a woman. Today at my place of work a gentleman came up to my counter and said "Hello Beautiful" to me. Now, this customer does come in several times a week and is not a total stranger when I'm at work but still. He is in his 50-60s he works either in construction or as a big rig driver, not that any of this is very relevant but it is a generational thing I have noticed amongst folks that speak like that. "'Hello, gorgeous'; 'hi, honey bun or sweetheart, can you get me a coffee?' No man would ever be called sweetheart, ever, in the workplace," T...
