NEEDLEWORK LESSONS
| If anyone is interested, I can offer the following needlework lessons and historical demos. Homeschooling families are welcome to make appointments just to come out and see the goats and historical demonstrations. From my museum background, I also have an extensive collection of research sources on 19th Century women's and children's costume, including some Civil War Era Godey's Lady's Books.
