Leon, that's a lovely and talented Victorian lady friend you have, You're both ready for a visit to Dickens on the Strand in Galveston, and annual event around the beginning of December. We haven't been in a number of years, so I'm not sure if it's still the case, but probably an authentic costume gets you in free. They will have a website. They ought to pay you to bring the penny farthing!
Trying to tie this in with the thread, there are some antique stores along the way, maybe with vintage sewing parts?
