  • Blue Bonnet in Boston
    Blue Bonnet in Boston By Caroline E. Jacobs Blue Bonnet in Boston CHAPTER I THE WAIL OF THE WE ARE SEVENS BLUE BONNET raised the blind of the car window, which had been drawn all the afternoon to shut out the blazing sun, and took a view of the flying landscape. Then she consulted the tiny watch at her wrist and sat up with a start. "Grandmother!" she said excitedly, "we'll soon be in Woodford; that is, in just an hour. We're on time, you know. Hadn't we better be getting our things together?" Mrs. Clyde straightened up from the pillows, which Blue Bonnet had arranged comfortably for her afternoon nap, and peered out at the rolling hills and green meadow-lands. "I think we have plenty of time, Blue Bonnet," she said, smiling into the girl's eager face. "But perhaps we would better freshen up a bit. You are sure we are on time?" "Yes, I asked the conductor when I went back to see Solomon at the last station. Four-twenty sharp, at Woodford, he told Solomon, and Solomon licked his hand with joy. Poor doggie! I don't believe he appreciates the value of travel, even if he has seen Texas and New York and Boston. He loathes the baggage-car, though I must say the men all along the way have been perfectly splendid to him. But then, any one would fall in love with Solomon, he's such a dear." Mrs. Clyde recalled the five dollar bill she had witnessed Mr.

  • The Bonnet Toun in 2006 I Was Invited to Curate a Small Mixed-Craft Show
    The Bonnet Toun In 2006 I was invited to curate a small mixed-craft show at the Dick Institute in Kilmarnock, a small town south of Glasgow. I went up to Scotland from London, expecting it to be all kilts and highland crags. I didn’t know that I was going to the enchanting lowlands of Ayrshire, with its rolling fields and beautiful coastline. The show I was working on included some textiles and knitting, and knowing that there was a history of woollen trade in the area, I decided to do a little research. My children’s grandmother had been to high school in Kilmarnock, where there had been a thriving business in knitting regimental bonnets. She was born in the rival town of Stewarton nearby, where her father was headmaster of the local school, while most of the rest of the village were involved in someway with the local woollen trade. Stewarton is still known as the ‘Bonnet Toun’, and knitted hats are still manufactured there, although the process has changed some since the sixteenth century. Most famous for its regimental, beret-style hats, modern fashions are also represented. Popular traditional designs include the Glengarry, the Balmoral (named when the Queen’s children wore them when holidaying there) and the Tam O’Shanter, all meeting with stringent Ministry of Defence requirements. [Stewarton headmaster William Waddell wearing a bonnet] While English bonnets were made from cloth or velvet, the Scots bonnet was knitted in the round. Usually dark blue, indigo dyed, with a red ‘torrie’ or pompom on top, there were several design variations.

DEBENHAM & FREEBODY, WIGMORE STREET c^' WELBECK STREET, LONDON, W. aiFT OF PREFACE HE Fourth Edition of Ardern Holt's "Fancy Dresses Described" being exhausted, we have made arrange- ments for the publication of the Fifth Edition with such corrections as experience dictates, and a very large addition to the number of characters detailed. The suggestions we have received have been carefully noted, and the result is a larger and more comprehensive work than any hitherto published. The inquiry for Coloured Plates has induced us to select sixteen favourite Models for Illustration in Colours, of a completely new character, as well as a new series of smaller Illustrations, and we trust they will add greatly to the usefulness of the book. The Author's name is a guarantee for the correctness of the descriptions and accuracy of details; and we have endea- voured (as in former editions) to maintain such simplicity as will enable many ladies to produce the costumes at home.

  • Winter Collection 2017/18 Akam Art Cappelli
    Hand made passion and creativity. Winter Collection 2017/18 Akam Art Cappelli Il vero lusso è accorgersi, semplicemente riconoscendo, ciò che già naturalmente scorre nel proprio sangue, portato dall’infanzia e dai ricordi. Essere sempre attenti ad una accurata ricerca di un gusto raffinato e di materiali naturali e pregiati, creando un prodotto artigianale Made in Italy autentico. Libero sfogo a colori, forme e creatività. Uniti dall’amicizia, la passione x i viaggi, la cappelleria e la sartoria, in un rilassante viaggio ad Ibiza insieme, nasce l’idea di creare una nostra collezione di cappelli. Abbiamo iniziato, ispirati dai colori dell’ isola, dipingendo a mano cappellini estivi, personalizzandoli con variopinte e classiche passamanerie. “Il nostro dogma è semplice, il cappello non è un main stream, come accessorio è in disuso, è un amar- cord, un segno di carattere, d’indipendenza dalle mode. Dunque se vuoi portare il cappello, deve essere bello, di qualità, solo materiali italiani, lavorati artigianalmente.” Akam Art Hats Realizing true luxury, simply acknowledging what feels natural and flows within one’s memories of early childhood. Always attentive, researching to develop a refined style using natural and precious vintage materials, creating an authentic Made In Italy craftmanship product. An eruption of colour, form and creativity. On a relaxing trip to Ibiza together with friends, sharing the same passion for travelling, hat making and tailoring, came the idea to create our own collection of hats. And so it began, inspired by the surrounding colours of that island, hand painted summer hats, personalized with multi-colored classic trimmings. “Our philosophy is simple, a hat shouldn’t be main stream, like a disused accessary, but an “amarcord”, a remembrance of something that relates characteristically to that moment in time, independent from today’s fashion.

APR 2. 1951 312213 INTR0DUeTI0N, all the collection of books and pamphlets heretofore issued upon the IN subject of Masquerades and kindred festivities, no single work has contained the condensed and general information sought by the multi- tude of inquirers who desire to render honor to Terpsichore in her fantastic moods, in the most approved manner and garb. Continuous queries from our correspondents and patrons indicated this lack, and research confirmed it. A work giving engravings and descriptions of popular costumes and naming appropriate occasions for their adoption, and also recapitulating the different varieties of Masquerade entertainments and their customs and requirements was evidently desired and needed; and to that demand we have responded in a manner that cannot fail to meet with approval and appreciation. In preparing this book every available resource has been within our reach, and the best authorities upon the subject have been consulted. These facts entitle us to the full confidence of our patrons who have only to glance over these pages to decide for themselves that the work is ample and complete, and that everyone may herein find a suitable costume for any festivity or entertainment requiring Fancy Dress, and reliable decisions as to the different codes of etiquette governing such revelries.
