I'm not wanting to upset them or anyone else, but the heart wants what the heart wants No little pocket for a plume but this will not stop me from re designating it. It is now a Grenadier Guards bearskin. Well its not its mine, but I will style it as such.

Well I have a full set of plumes so I could chop and change as the whim takes me. Like with me and my shoe obsession(5 pairs I've bought this week-one with a 5 and a half inch heel-I'm going to break something )

Looks like you've done a good job Alli. I was going to say, nice to see your bearskin but...
I've heard that many bearskins and tunics get handed down from one generation to another. David |
