I could do with some furs to sleep under... it has been unusually cold here lately and most houses here just are not set up to keep one really warm.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-82139934392266435912015-01-04T13:21:09.737+00:002015-01-04T13:21:09.737+00:00Moira - This really is an interesting look at the ...Moira - This really is an interesting look at the clothes of the time. I can see why you found those lists so fascinating. What I find interesting is the way attitudes towards furs have changed. As you say, they didn't necessarily mark great wealth at this time. Then later, they did as it become less easy to get them. Now, the animal rights movement, the conservation movement and so on have had a powerful effect on thinking, so that it's no longer fashionable and trendy to wear genuine fur as it once was. I just really find interesting the way fashion changes as our thinking does.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-40737364744927961752015-01-04T13:00:27.947+00:002015-01-04T13:00:27.947+00:00Back to earth with a bump today Moira.

I can't imagine a man mastering the art of drawing water from a well at the same time as obviously thrashing her husband at table tennis....the stronger sex indeed!col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.com
