The Secret of Moonacre Pink dress

I was also able to buy the pink dress from The Secret of Moonacre. Mine is a double to the hero costume, however, my skirt was actually marked Dakota.  More pics and info here: http://costumersguide.com/moonacre1.shtml

Here is the Propstore.com description:

An ornate pink patterned dress worn by Maria (Dakota Blue Richards) in the 2009 fantasy adventure The Secret of Moonacre. This dress can be seen worn by the young star when she first moves in with her Uncle (Ioan Gruffudd) and she tries to find the unusual book. The pink dress has a lilac underskirt to kick out the main skirt of the costume, a pink top skirt with bands and sections of cloth attached and a lace up jacket with flowers embroidered on the top and down the front panel of the skirt. The dress was custom made for the production and therefore has no size marked, labelled inside the top as ‘Double’.

The Secret of Moonacre Blue dress

I was lucky enough to get the blue dress from The Secret of Moonacre.  Actually there are at least two of them, likely more. Propstore has a double to the hero costume, and one marked stunt. I have the double.  More pics here: http://costumersguide.com/moonacre4.shtml

Victoran Fan

I don't know much about it - and I hope I didn't outbid anyone I know on it!  Madame Kat posted the link on FB, and I ended up bidding on it!

I just got it yesterday and it's really beautiful. I can't believe I only paid $32!

Gutta Percha locket

Thanks to madamekat for pointing me to the ebay auction for this gutta percha locket! It's really pretty. According to the internets, gutta percha "was one of the first plastic materials. It was made from a mixture of resins from Malaysian trees." It was molded and used for various things in Victorian times. I'm not sure when this locket dates from. Mid-1800s?

It's in really good condition and came with an antique silk ribbon and a picture in it!

Shoes shoes shoes!
