The Latest Trend

The Mrs. Wiggins look is back in style now (okay, maybe not the hair-- yet) at a mall near you. Hobble skirts, anyone?




(I know that skirt is not termed a hobble skirt, but maybe it should be!)

Bird Singers and Natural Instruments from The American Boy's Handy Book

(Editor's Note: The books that I have been posting are from the late 1800's and early 1900's, meant to give ideas and instructions for children and young people to educate and amuse themselves in the "great outdoors" and at home. The author and authoresses were brother and sisters, and artists. They were the early boy and  girl scouts. I hope you will peruse these books, and though you may find the contents rather old-fashioned, find something to try your hand at, as your great-grandparents might have done!)
