    Reading an amazing book on shopping during the Renaissance. Fascinating!

      Could you share the author and title for the rest of us please.

      • Profile picture of Armida Taylor
        Armida Taylor replied 8 years, 1 month ago

        Sure. Shopping in the Renaissance: Consumer Cultures in Italy 1400-1600 by Evelyn Welch (ISBN 9780300159851) Yale University Press, 2005. For me, nirvana, as it combines my passions for both the Renaissance and Italy.

          I have ordered this from my local library via interlibrary loan. It is coming from the College of Charleston!

            Armida Taylor replied 8 years, 1 month ago

            I hope you find it interesting. Took a bit of time to get through the intro but once into the heart of the book it is fascinating to imagine shopping during the renaissance.

            I just took this back to the library. Very interesting, especially the chapters on Isabella d’Este and on men buying.

      I know this group is dedicated to Elizabethan Renaissance but this topic seemed appropriate.

      Just wondering if anyone who is in the Elizabethan Renaissance group is going to be at the
      Louisville Seminar. If so, do you want to meet and have lunch, breakfast or dinner!!

    Since I’m relatively new to stitching, I would love to see what everyone is working on. I have always been fascinated by this time period.

    I am relatively new to stitching and am interested in seeing all of the options out there. I would love to see pictures from this time period. It just may be the niche I am looking for. Thanks for the opportunity to learn more.
