Maura's Illuminated Manuscript

Prob. too late for this project, but an fyi for the future -- Farthingales sells shrink tip tubing by the foot. It's the most awesome stuff for making your own corset laces with shoelace-style tips. It's plastic tubing that you cut into a short piece, slip over a cord or ribbon end, heat over a match or candle, & it shrinks down & when it cools, it becomes a hard tip like on a shoelace. I bought one foot of this ages ago & I'm still using it (you don't need much for one set of laces). It's the perfect way to get pretty ribbon corset laces!

Also, the Farthingales LA shop is awesome -- I've ordered from them twice, great service, super fast, just as good as the original Canadian one, but closer & in USD.
