INTRODUCING:
Greetings from Northwest Ohio, along the shores of the Great Lake
Erie!
I started this adventure of personalized embroidery especially for the Civil War
Enthusiast. Being a "re-enactor" myself, I don't claim to know everything about
the Civil War and it's rich history, but I do have a very reliable "in-house"
specialist of my own. My husband, DeWayne has been a reenacter for over 33
years now. Starting out as Confederate Infantry with the 5th Texas and
progressed into the artillery division, where he started his own unit, the 21st
Ohio Volunteer Light Artillery. You can check out that site on my Links
page. If I don't know something, I just ask him!
So, with that said, I have been having a ball with all the items that I have
been making for other reenactment groups, historians, GAR's and societies. If
there is something that you don't see that I don't have listed, does not mean
that I can't make it. I have made items from civil war infantry to civil war
marines, GAR Posts to Arms Society, Flag Preservationist to Battlefield Marker
Preservationist. And the list goes on and on and I add new items all the time.
I would like to show you what I have to offer and also show you what I have
already done. If there isn't anything that you see that fits your needs, just
contact me and I will work with you to get a design that you want.
Now, a little bit about the owner, that's me! I'm Tracie, I have decided
to actually run this business full-time now. Our orders have been so much
that it has required me to be here and work at-home. Which is fine and
great!. So as you can see, my business has grown from a small part-time
shop to a working full-time shop. Customer Service is #1.
I do want to mention my husband, who is my inspiration in this endeavor.
Although he doesn't have anything to do with my business, I do a lot of "picking
his brain" as I said before, he is my total "wealth of information"! DeWayne,
is a state certified welder by trade, a part-time blacksmith, and is the Captain
(formally 1st Sgt.) of our Civil War Unit called the 21st Ohio Volunteer Light
Artillery. He is one of a few Certified Inspectors for the National Civil War
Artillery Association. The 21st OVLA consists of members from the Northwest Ohio
area. They do a lot of living histories, civil war encampments and re-enactments
around the Ohio/Michigan/Indiana area. They also are one of the featured guest
units at Gettysburg National Park Service. They are lucky to have an original
1862 3" Ordinance Rifle from the Great Village of Carey, Ohio to use at our
disposal to show the general public and history buffs out there what it is
really like to have an Artillery cannon and camp from the Civil War. Their
busiest time is from May to October, where their last re-enactment is near home
at the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center located in Fremont, Ohio.
Another thing that I enjoy is playing some good OLD TYME music! I play the
Hammered Dulcimer and my husband plays the Autoharp and 5 string banjo. We are
called "Strings of Glory". We do all of the "old tyme" songs from the Civil War
and before. We put on programs for bus tours in the area and do a lot of
presentation throughout Ohio. Our songs are from the ages of 1600 through 1800's
and are all the old "smooth-listening" ones.
As you can see, I am busy, needless to say I don't let any "grass grow under my
feet". I hope that you have enjoyed the reading and thanks for stopping by my
site and learning about my company.
Thanks

Confederate Gray background on all rank insignia.
If you want something for your re-enactment group, think about these great

are all machine embroidered with your re-enactment unit below.
They are put on:
   
Long Sleeve Denim Shirt,

I can also do canvas handbags for
the ladies
I will
embroider, FOR FREE, one word on the right breast.

These also make great gifts for that Re-enactor in your life. They would really
find that the fit and the quality of the product is excellent.
