In looking for something for me that will also fit Patty as an outfit for the holiday ball, I came across this page of things:

The $99 taffeta gown with the barely there sleeves (in green) with the belted sash in same and a nice hoop seems good and likely for a range of events and steampunkery for us both.

But can you guess what thing I totally don't need on that page I totally fucking want?

ETA: comments now totally hilarious

I think it was Laura Ingalls Wilder who had a lovely little new fur muff - or possibly envied a girl who had one. Or possibly it was Anne of Green Gables, but I don't think so. Anyway, I wanted one desperately.

Laura Ingalls' arch-enemy had a muff, and Laura was terribly jealous, and then she got an even nicer muff for Christmas.

I am sure millions of little girls imprinted on fur muffs as a result, between that and some muff-sizing in The Little Princess as well.

I remember that! Yes, definitely imprinted on that.

YES, thank you. And I'd forgotten about Sara too. Muffs for everybody!
