I can confirm that blondes, indeed, do have fun! Maybe not *more* ... #labelladonnahistory #mysca #antir #14thcentury #cappelloapunta #cappuccio #trecce

Making an #ambergris tincture! #labelladonnahistory #mysca #antir

Driving to ATWW in my #14thcentury kit :) #labelladonnahistory

Just a few photos of our Italian Pavilion at a Medieval/Renaissance public event that had 5,000 visitors! #JuneFaire was great and once the day ended I was pretty much tired of talking about games, hygiene, and cosmetics of the Italian city-states (which NEVER happens). #labelladonnahistory Thanks the Barony of Dragon’s Laire for hosting this event! #mysca

I really loved tasting #nucato at May Crown and now I found the recipe!! #labelladonnahistory #italianrenaissance #historicalfood

Inspiration for the #cadorosalone in #AnTir this tourney season. These are other living history events in Australia and Sweden that inspire me to present a more immersive atmosphere at #SCA events. Thanks to Rosalie’s Medieval Woman site and @anna_la_suedoise #labelladonnahistory #italianrenaissance

Sketch for my Etruscan endeavors! Thanks to the artistic skills of @geneviefve I have these two to help bring my 150 BCE Etruscan kit to life complete with fitted ankle-length chiton, tebennos (mantle),leaf-shaped fan, torc, bracelet, sandals, and headpiece. #labelladonnahistory #etruscan #etruschi

My #etruschi research is ongoing! I plan to make the first outfit here from a funerary example. #labelladonnahistory #etruscans #livinghistory

Salon culture has spread to the west!! The Ca’ d’Oro Salone seeks to expand the study and recreation of the Italian Renaissance period covered by the Society of Creative Anachronism within the Kingdom of An Tir through an immersive environment dedicated to post-13th century history. Inspired by the Ca' d'Oro Renaissance Salon at Gulf Wars. The Ca’ d’Oro Salone in An Tir aims to foster scholarship within the various avenues of study within the Renaissance era which found it's humble beginnings in 14th century Italy before spreading northward through western Europe revolutionizing life and culture into the 16th century and paving the way for the later Enlightenment period. The Salon will offer a wide array of classes ranging from general history, social history, philosophy, games, material culture, gender, economic, medical, and even military history as well as hosting special activities and artisan demos. The Italian salon during the Renaissance, within a historical context, provided a safe scholarly environment for “unsupervised intellectuals” where new ideas and ideas re-discovered from the scholars of Ancient Greece, Rome, and Africa could be discussed without scrutiny from either church or rulers. Often sponsored by learned and influential nobility, these salons and the discussions that flowed out of them aided the change from a medieval world view into an early modern, humanist world view across the cultural and intellectual landscape of Europe.#labelladonnahistory #antir #italianrenaissance #mysca #cadorosalone #casorosalon
