Rosalie Gilbert

Bookings are now available for this great event to help raise money for the new Abbey Museum of Art & Archaeology Art Gallery which will be hosted by the Bribie Island Community Arts Centre in April.

There's a wonderful High Tea and I'll be doing a presentation dressing a Noble Lady and attending to her hair and toilette as we go, with explanations and museum reproductions as we go.

I'll have a tiny Touch Table where three original artifacts from the 14th century will be on display for very careful handling as well and my new lavarbo hand-washing station will be filled with rosewater for patrons to try! I'll have some of Trotula's scented hair powder for sniffing and soaps from the medieval period as well.

The raffle winner will get a lovely photo in medieval clothes by me.

Thankfully I'll have two people helping out- my niece who is in the ad here and my friend who is also a member of my medieval re-enactment group, Ex Libris Living History. It's held in a covered courtyard, so I'm hoping for good weather. Cross your fingers for me!
