At the opera

Posted Sep 9, 2007 at 14:44 CEST in Exhibitions, Fashion, Flickr, and Photos.

Yesterday I went to “open house” at the royal opera in Stockholm. They had a tour showing the making of costumes, props and such, and there was also an exhibition of antique costumes, Detaljer, including some 18th century things. Click the picture above to go to a flickr set with my photos from the tour and exhibition.

Greetings from Seattle, Washington in the Northwest corner of the United States!

I was going thru various past posts on your blog. How WONDERFUL!!! I too, belong to a historical costuming group based here in Seattle. Our main website is: www.SITUSeattle.com and I have just started a blog which can be found at: www.SITUSeattle.wordpress.com I will be SURE to link you on my blog as well. Perhaps you could consider doing the same (or link back to our main website) if you deem us worthy of linkage (wink).

On the www.SITUSeattle.com main page, you will see a button called “Past Events” where you can click on it and then choose which costuming event you’d like to visit and see photos. Mind you, the group has been in existence for a long time, I just happen to have come into the fold about 2 years ago, so I’ve started shooting photos at some of the events. (My computer is undergoing some problems at the moment so I have a few broken links, but we’re working on it already.) People who have visited the site really like the lay-out and information they can find there.

Also on the site, you can go to “Dress-up Opportunities” to see how I’ve posted dates of different local events happening around my city. This helps fellow historical costumers have more than the formal, scheduled events to be able to dress up! I have also planned a river trip starting from New Orleans next December when it will be cooler in the South. Perhaps you’d be interested in coming along?

I’d love to hear feedback from you kind people who are fellow enthusiasts about both the website and my new blog. If you have ideas to share or suggestions, I am willing to listen!

Have a glorious September!!! Auntie Rita in Seattle
