Quote of the day, 8 October: St. Louis Martin

My dear Friend,

I won’t be able to arrive in Alençon until Monday. It seems like a long time to me, and I’m longing to be with you.

Needless to say, your letter made me very happy, except I see that you’ve tired yourself out far too much. So I strongly recommend calm and moderation, above all in your work. I have some orders from the Compagnie Lyonnaise; once again, don’t worry so much. We’ll manage, with God’s help, to build a good little company.

I had the happiness of receiving Communion at Notre-Dame des Victoires, which is like a little heaven on earth. I also lit a candle for the intention of our entire family.

I kiss you with all my heart, while waiting for the happiness of being with you again. I hope that Marie and Pauline are being very good!

Your husband and true friend, who loves you for life.

Saint Louis Martin

Die Zusammenfassung meiner Obsession der letzten Wochen. Ich hab zum Geburtstag einen Kurs/Klöppelwochenende in Abenberg bekommen und da hab ich endlich das Thema „Formschläge“ angegangen. Und endlich die grüne Fliege fertig bekommen und zwei komplett verschiedene Sachen angefangen. Ein Deckchen in Idrija-Spitze und ein schmales Bucks Point Band, hab mir in Abenberg ein Buch diesbezüglich gekauft.

Watching Silent Hill 2 Remake. James the protag did some little puzzle and a wardrobe opened with a wedding dress in it. The wedding dress had some nice lace on the bodice.

See, I think we can apply the 'something old, something new' principle to wedding dresses: antique lace designs. But also the cut of the dress could be "slutty".

I am proficient in quite a few 100s of years old lacemaking techniques. But how do we take 'bridal' and make it 'slutty'? 🤔
