We are finally getting days warm enough to spend time outdoors without a jacket or shoes and Im reveling in feeling the warmth on my skin, hearing the birds chirping and watching my garden slowly come alive. It all feeds my soul so much.

Well I actually I am a licensed stylist & I do my own hair soβ¦ yes and yes. π But seriously, thank you for the compliment! Researching and recreating historical hairstyles is one of my passions. I have some tutorials on my YouTube channel showing how they are done, with many more to come this year!
I have a new garden bed to fill this year too - I think figuring out the sun story for all these different parts of the lawn is half the battle! π.
Tis the season/weather to dream of growing things I guess!
Itβs currently 19 degrees (feels like 12) outside and I just organized my flower seeds in their pretty new container.
Im now very, very ready for spring.
(Muffin is also ready, it was too cold for outside time even for his fluff today. He lasted 3 minutes)
Is there anything more Elaborate than late 1770s hair? I think not.
#georgianjanuary25: Elaborate
I have zero memory of that petticoat. Iβm now concerned about myself. π
How is it Iβve never seen this outfit in person?! (Its fabulous!) I thought we were friends π€£
Thanks Luv!
I love big feathers and I cannot lie
A scalloped edged, triangular design for a gentleman's neck handkerchief featuring stylised leaves.
Took advantage of the email drop off to finally add the most recent batch of #C18th patterns onto my website. There are now 269 originally needlework designs freely available on the Lady's Magazine website: ladysmagazine.omeka.net Rather fond of this gentleman's neck handkerchief...
And so my adventures on Bluesky begins. Im curious to see where this road leadsβ¦
