Interesting, Inspiring, Provocative... or just plain Cool

I've added a gadget to the right margin of blogs that I find interesting; ones that focus on historical re-creation and re-enactment. Interestingly, they're largely European.

Enjoy.

Just when I had some confidence about what is and is not an "authentic" hangerock...

I have found two European sources that suggest that the two-part, split-front hangerock is re-enactor quality. I have to admit that the arrangement is fetching and goes a long way toward explaining that trim-only-between-the-broaches thing.
