House keys, the perfect accessory

[mmcnealy]

So, I got to thinking about house keys today as accessories to costumes. So I went looking on my lunch break for pictures of period keys and if there were any modern equivalents that I could afford.

Informative sites with pictures of keys from the 15-16th century

Hmm... good point. She doesn't say anything about guarentees of authenticity. Some of her cheap stuff is in pieces, which might be neat to get if one made pottery.

Does your ex-girlfriend make stuff to sell?

Yep, and I just emailed her to see if she is coming to Purgatorio.
