About the Designer:
Countess Enriqueta Isabel de Reyes y Mora, O. Pelican, O. Laurel, Baroness of the Court, is Harriet Stetser, whose pursuit of historical fact, fiction, and fancy have consumed the majority of her life ... so far! She was an award winning theatrical costume designer on the west coast of Florida for several years, specializing in historical stage plays. Now she is an antiques dealer and appraiser, and a collector of 15th, 16th, and 17th Century art, objects and furniture. And, she is a typical proud grandmother ... wanna see some photos? During her 18 years affiliation with the Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc., Queta (as she was nicknamed) has shared her talents through teaching and creating the patterns here.
