Heads up re-enactors...

Quick note to let everyone know about the latest contest from the lovely American Duchess.  They have a new Regency dance slipper, which is up for grabs in their latest giveaway.  The Highbury (named after the village in Jane Austen's Emma) is a flat silk slipper with a pointed toe, much like a ballet slipper.  The feature that I love is the inside loops that allow you to put your own ribbons in your own configuration to inspire your inner dancer.  I can't imagine a nicer pair of shoes for our upcoming Admiral Nelson Ball or Jane Austen Evening, when wearing these and dancing a lovely Auretti's Dutch Skipper or Irish Lamentation.  Even if you miss out on the giveaway, at $80, the price is pretty reasonable for a pair of shoes based on slippers once owned by Abigail Adams.

Go for it ladies...
