  Library Lovers day at Katoomba Library- 14th February 2013   It's a really beautiful library- look at all these little wooden partitions for people to sit in. They give a bit of privacy, but they aren't all closed off and claustrophobic, either! quite a few of us did airship pirate-y steampunk!   I got to hang out with some lovely people I had met before, and meet some lovely new people too! Here I am looking a little confused. One of the ladies Cate was holding a tablet in front of her face. I was just working out she was taking pictures with it! I am talking about second hand shopping and steampunk authors! The delightful steampunk brigade! (OK, we don't actually call ourselves that, but I think we should! :P)  Just out those windows is an amazing view over the mountains!  Cutting the cake Kate And Luke talking about  Ironfest  and an upcoming Terry Pratchett convention. I can't remember when or where that was.  I didn't get any photos of myse...

On Saturday the 19th of January, I attended a Steampunk high tea/ picnic organised by the Newcastle Steampunk Society.  I finally got to meet the lovely Stacey, who I knew from the Steampunk sewing group on Facebook. She wore this amazing outfit which she made herself! It is a hat, a polonaise coat, and skirt, combination underwear and a lobster bustle, all of which she made! It was a great day and I met some very nice people! I can't wait to go again! There was some sword fighting... Victorian sausage rolls... Lime tart... Home made portuguese tarts... Victorian brown bread ice cream... Raspberry and rosewater cordial with home grown raspberries... Stacey's amazing outfit! My outfit: Jacket, dress and lace blouse and ankle boots second hand. The jacket is the same one I had when I went to Peter Murphy, although I don't have any pictures of it on that night.  The earrings are the ones from  steamfolks  on Etsy.
