Steampunk Victorian Reversable hat!

 

Feathers, metal, vintage brown.  This lovely woolen blend hat is both cute and reversible.
Yes, that is right, even with that enormous wing of feathers!
The decoration is one fully attached piece.  It attaches to the hat by means of a bar pin and a alligator clip.  The bar pin, when inserted and latched, carries the main weight. The alligator clip, clips to the ridge near the brim to provide balance.
 
(See above examples of alligator and bar pins.)

A Girl of the Limberlost Apron



Oh, what a picture!" Exulted Ammon over sher shoulder. "She is absolutely and altogether lovely! 
I'd give a small fortune for that faithfully set on canvas!” 

I think I am a girl of the Limberlost at heart.  I love exploring and I loved reading Gene Stratton-Porter's lovely novels about the swamp.  Freckles, was perhaps my favorite - no possibly, Keeper of the Bees. 
When I saw this apron, I was enamored.  It immediately made me think of the Limberlost. It was something about it's whimsy, I think. 

Are you a girl of the Limberlost at heart? Do you love the great outdoors, nature, and beauty? 
Or maybe you just love Gene Stratton-Porter's romantic novels? This vintage apron is a garment worthy of Elnora, and I think this  heart necklace is charmingly symbolic of the love that the Limberlost swamp inspires. 

Hope you love it as much as I!
