Greetings everyone!

Brrr!! I hope everyone (in the northern hemisphere) has kept warm this past week. I know that some folks don't even have their heat turned on in their apartment complexes during the cold snap. Also to those who are trapped indoors due to smoke advisories, my heart goes out to you and I hope you can breathe easy again soon.

My family is all starting to recover from the onslaught of autumn colds, thank goodness. I finally found time to update the corsetiere map and directory, which is creeping ever closer to 400 makers around the world! Scroll down to see the newly updated map.

On social media, the theme for October is a collection of my faves and how my tastes, preferences and criteria have changed over the years. November is going to be a look back at some of my most popular overbust reviews, as well as corsetiere interviews! Join my Facebook if you don't want to miss these.
