Quote of the Day

"I want to do something spendid... something heroic or wonderful, that won't be forgotten after I'm dead...I think I shall write books."
~Louisa May Alcott

Old-fashioned 'funnies'

Here are some adorable little olden-day comics, I found on http://www.sensibility.com/, about the change in fashions and all its hardships;fussings, mendings, hoop-skirts, and *of course* corsets.

Also the text below each of these is very small, and not very readable, so I will write it below too. For you! :o]

-"Arabella Maria. "Only to think, Julia dear, that our Mothers wore such ridiculous fashions as these!

Both. "Ha ha, Ha ha!"-

New contrivance for lady's maids, adapted to the present style of fashions. (He, he! :oD)

Remarkable convenience of hoops for young Mothers in the country.

Hope you enjoyed these as much as I do!

Far away in sunshine are my highest aspirastions.

I may not reach them,

but I can look up and see their beauty,

believe in them and try to follow where they lead.

From the Child to the Woman-


"We see this miracle take place continually,

yet we never cease to wonder at the sweetness,

charm, and beauty of every young woman as she comes to maturity."

(`Tis very true isn't it?)
