That's what the title means. If you've seen my library you know from whence I speak. Anyway, this is meant to be an actual project diary and repository, since my project LJ has turned into a really fancy to-do list.

History, the teacher of life... -Cicero, Tusculanas, 2, 16.
“When I get a little money I buy books; and if any is left I buy food and clothes.”
--Desiderius Erasmus
About Me
- Margaret FitzWilliam of Kent
- Minnesota, United States
- I am a long-time member of the SCA, primarily interested in England in the late 12th and early 13th centuries. It is probably safe to say I am a history and authenticity geek. Here you may find my projects and research into 12th and 13th century clothing and accessories, medieval textiles and textile processing, cooking, calligraphy & illumination, embroidery, and anything else that catches my interest.
