The wondrous fashions, the absolutist conviction that progress was good and splendid, the florid literary styles–the whole darn thing fascinated me. I was a big fan of the Little House books, because they covered the life of a young pioneer girl […]

Necklace–I think I am going to give it to my sister. Here it is on my dressmaker's dummy. You can see the kind-of random beads on the sides. My grandma's getting this one. How it looks not on a neck. My new crafty photo gallery. More misc. beady stuff in there.
