A Little Brown Jug And I....

[hsifeng]

I am in the process of getting ready to head out to a number of reenactment events near bodies of water over the next few months. Given a fine collection of stoneware pottery and access to gallons of lovely beer, of course my thought turn to fishing...

"Heeeeeere fishy, fishy, fishy, fishy...."

Damn you internet. You spend all my money faster than I can make it....

Edited @ 9:49 AM PST:

Found a couple of other resources I will have to read. I love you interwebz!

You're so EVIL! I just talked myself out of a set of 1930s wooden golf clubs (damn, they're expensive) because I don't even play golf. And now you show me this?!?! Arrrrrgh!

Must make more patterns...

I do it out of love…or is it pain? *chuckle* If only I had the time to just *make* the damn things. But a double quill float for only $6 makes that just seem silly…

I am NOT showing this website to my husband. He really does love to fish, and is into historical stuff too.

You mean, you don't want to look into selling these items yourself as 'clothing extras' so that you and Bob (and ME - finders fee! *grin*) can get them at a discount...?

(I mean, you *have* to 'play test' the items after all...)

The really sick thing is that I was actually thinking about it...
