Sunday Pics!

Because I love clothing of antiquity and have made a number of reproduction mid-19th century dresses, as well as men's and children's clothing, the accoutrements of the period are of great interest to me, also.

This woman is wearing a lovely Chatelaine.  They are kind of like having our sewing kits hanging on our belts!

I'm including a closeup picture of another one

so you can get an idea of what they're like.

Amazing, aren't they?

This one had the following description:

Heart shaped plaque with reticulated repousse allegorical figures

and five appendages of various origins and makers consisting of

scissors and scabbard, thimble bucket,

thread wax, mirror and heart shaped box.

A Blessed Sunday to You!
