One of Our Favorite Things: RainyDay379 Etsy shop!

Grrl Picker Lacy absolutely loves her cast iron pans and Grrl Picker Laura has tried to like them but gets frustrated with hot handles. (I absolutely adore my mothers old coper bottom Revere Ware pots and pans with protective handles built right in, it's such a shame I can't find any like that anymore. My husband bought me new Revere Ware pans but with out the protective handles, they're just not the same...) Anyhoo... One of Grrl Picker Laura's long time cyber friends has her own Etsy shop and guess what she makes and sells? Kick Ass cast iron pot handle covers!


Sharing the love this Cyber Monday for one of our favorite things!

Decidedly Different Dancers

I found these photos on the Library of Congress web site, the first woman was labeled "society dancer":

The next woman was decidedly of a different society all together:

The last one seemed to be a little of both and I think that's why I like her best:

It's fun to imagine all 3 at a dinner party, I still think I'd find the conversation of the 3rd woman the ost interesting however it appears that they would all have fascinating stories to tell...

1894 Early Dancer

What she lacks in grace she certainly makes up for in general gleefullness.... Ode to joy...

Women in Hats

I found these on the Library of Congress web site, I absolutely love that in this day and age one can simply type into a search engine a key phrase (such as "large hat") and a thousand images instantly leap to life on the screen right here at home. At the time when these photos were taken, I am quite sure none of these women could ever have imagined such a thing being possible. Much less that a creatures such as myself eating a bagel, still in my jammies at noon time, would be the one picking through images of thier finery...
