Introductions

Allow me to make your introduction. <bows slowly, with measured dignity>

As I have long been in the habit of many forms of dressmaking, millnery, and using sundries and dry goods in the creation of various accoutrement both functional and beautiful, and as I am often enough preoccupied with a Neo-Victorian diversion, I take the liberty to set down for my own use and for the amusement of all manner of readers, a record of enterprises both creative and adventuresome.

Within these letters the gentle reader may find writings both in character and casual language, resources that one finds vulgarily described as "instructables", schemes and designs, and other records of my avocation.

I will esteem it a great favor if you will enjoy my company for a few minutes, and perhaps offer a word or two of commentary, criticism, or suggestion.

Yours, Very Respectfully,

Madame Nigella Smethwyck
