Guy Fawkes Day

Thought I would post the Traditional Poem to Celebrate Guy Fawkes Day

Remember, remember the Fifth of November,

The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,

I know of no reason

Why the Gunpowder Treason

Should ever be forgot.

Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t’was his intent

To blow up the King and Parli’ment.

Three-score barrels of powder below

To prove old England’s overthrow;

By God’s providence he was catch’d

With a dark lantern and burning match.

Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring.

Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the Queen!

Halloween Is Around the Corner

Well its that time of year again! Turning on the heat in the house, turn under the garden, put away the lawn mower for the season. Wishing that it would stay warm till November, even though that is a pipe dream. Thought I would post a spooky Renaissance picture of a painting and wish all my readers the warmest Autumn wishes and Happy Halloween that is soon approaching. May you all be blessed in this change of the season.

Regards,

Tudorosities Milestones!

Well since 2010, this little corner of the web brings some light to Tudor Costuming, Elizabethan Costuming, Accessories from both periods as well as other delights from the Tudor dynasy that I found through my SCA journey. Over 10,000 views and over 130 posts since its inception in April of 2010. I wanted to take a opportunity to thank you for your support!

None of this would be possible without my loyal followers. Thank you! Looking forward to hitting 10,000 more page views. A great way to make sure that you are updated on any new posts is to become a follower via email or through blogger. Consider joining today!

I thought a good way to celebrate was to answer a question never asked about this blog, What is a Tudorosity? I wanted to come up with a unique title for this blog. Figuring that either I would have to make up a word or mash two words together, which both happend and created the idea behind the title.

Tudor-  1.any associations with the time period 1405-1603. 2.the reigns of the English royal family of Tudor starting with Henry VII through Elizabeth I.

Curiosities- 1. the desire to learn or know about anything; inquisitiveness 2. Having and interesting quality or character

So I mashed the Tudor and had to make it roll together with Curisosities, so Tudorosities was born.
Singurlar of course for one quandry and plural for many quandries. I went for plural in the name since the blog covers a wide range of time and topics.  I plan on putting this in my Frequently Asked Questions, even thought its never been asked techinically. So here is the offical definition of this blog's title.

Tudorosity- an desire to learn or know anything about the Tudor dynasty assocated with years 1405 through 1603.

Well that is our dose of vocabulary for the day. I finished the embroidery on the second sleeve panel  yesterday. I also started working on the third, there are four panels that make the sleeves on this jacket. Yay, progress on the embroidery. Can't wait to finish these so I can work on the body panels

Milestones are the Best,
