I haven’t been publicizing for my Halloween business because my home is in the middle of a renovation so I can’t have fittings right now. But if you do want to rent a last-minute costume or buy something, I have that already fits you, you can still message me and we can see if what you need is in stock. I have quite a few things for adults, especially full rentals of Renaissance  costumes from my theater collection. You can get entire outfits including many accessories to rent for $75. That includes hats, wigs, belts, crowns, gloves, jewelry, some shoes, slips, petticoats, and hoop skirts.

Dear friends, you know that my posts are erratic at best. I am pretty old, and it has been really really hard for me to catch onto the electronic era that we live in right now. I am about to be banned for life from posting because they are not receiving my payments. I don’t know why, but I’m having a friend come over to try to show me what I can do about it. In the meantime, please understand that all of those wonderful people who have tried to reach me about my design business have not gotten through until very recently. I would have answered all of you, but I never got the messages. If I am banned, which I have three hours to figure out, I hope that I can still be reached through my regular Facebook account. I am not trying to get any free advertising, I want to pay for it, but I can’t seem to figure out how to do it. I apologize and I appreciate all your kind compliments❤️

If you are interested in renting full outfits for Fan Con, Halloween, or Weddings and other formal events, I have a lot of options. You can purchase a regular costume such as dress or a man’s shirt and pants or kilt; or if you want to rent an entire outfit that includes all the accessories, i.e. hats, wigs, shoes, boots, jewelry, crowns, armor, belts, etc. that is an option to purchasing. In other words, I have lots of things available, and I am a lot more affordable than Theater costume rentals, and much higher quality than retail costume stores. If there is a specific costume or set of costumes you are interested in please let me know.

I have lots of wedding dresses and tons of Halloween costumes to rent. Please be patient with my design posts. I’m having a lot of problems figuring out how to do them.

Any living creature is precious. I admit that I am scared of many insects and reptiles but that is because of my own ignorance. I think that mice are adorable. “The Green Mile” by Stephen King exemplifies this beautifully.

"The night before Thankgiving, I was walking through our basement with an armload of firewood when I saw something that I could not quite believe. It was confusing and heartrending at the same time. A small mouse was sitting upright in the middle of our basement. It was hunched over, hanging its head with its eyes closed, and this may sound crazy, but it looked sad and completely defeated.

I approached it slowly, hoping that it was just fast asleep, drunk on whatever food it had managed to scrounge from our cellar. Sadly, that was not the case. As I reached out a hand to let it know that I was close, it lifted its head, looked up at me sideways, and slumped, hanging its head and closing its eyes again. It made no attempt to move. It was vulnerable and helpless.

As I gently picked it up, it did not protest - it assumed the same position. It looked up at me once, dropped its head to its chest again and closed its eyes. Within a few minutes it was asleep in my hand.

Close inspection revealed an injured rear leg that the mouse was dragging behind it. We consulted with a wildlife rehabilitator who was at capacity but offered valuable advice. She said it was likely nerve damage and suggested a week of cage rest to see if the injury would resolve on its own. So we spent the holiday weekend creating a habitat for and feeding our new guest. And we are seeing significant progress already.

Our guest will be with us for a few more days, until it is strong enough to be integrated with a colony - at that time, we'll bring it to our dear friend Ellen Jareckie, a wildlife rehabilitator and the artist behind House Mouse Designs. She will keep the mouse through the winter and release it when it is stronger, in early spring.

I think it would be safe to assume that many who read this will believe that I am nuts for spending days trying to rehabilitate a mouse, and I understand. But seeing a small, helpless creature in a vulnerable state broke my heart. I had to do something.”

I’m currently making Christmas designs for 18” dolls. You can either choose what I am making, or you are your daughter can let me know the type of outfit you’d like and I can make it custom. Each outfit comes with all accessories and averages $20.
