[Artemisia] Ruffs and Movie Nights

Oops, this was buried in all the gardening excitement:

Let's get together and talk about this after Estrella. (Everything in my life is on hold until after Estrella.) My wardrobe is nowhere near dolly status, but I've been intrigued by those ruffs and whisks as well. Helping someone else construct one would be very helpful to me -- and it sounds like a great project for a few cold winter evenings.

I recall hearing that several years ago one of the locals would host a regular Saturday's Knight at the Movies. Big screen TV in a comfy living room, folk would bring popcorn and soda, videos of the old Errol Flynn swashbucklers as well as Danny Kaye in The Court Jester and the Camelot musical. Lots of in-jokes and comments on bad Hollywood garb. :)  It would be fun to start something like that again.
