Cindy, No Greater Glory sounds fabulous and is on my TBR.

While folks today might view it as morbid, hair jewelry is so Victorian and was a part of their expression of sentiment. And as mentioned in the article, during the Civil War years, before marching off to war, a man would snip locks of his hair & his beloved would weave it into elegant pieces to fill a brooch and pin to her chest--like a waving flag of support for her brave, beloved soldier.Cindy Nord https://www.blogger.com/profile/00218707473893790352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18180642.post-39427970154080036842012-08-03T10:59:28.881-05:002012-08-03T10:59:28.881-05:00Fascinating story and so informative.Fascinating story and so informative.Marie-Nicole Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06704351418597214594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18180642.post-45074682045467807352012-08-03T10:28:01.846-05:002012-08-03T10:28:01.846-05:00I just love all the interesting items you come up ...I just love all the interesting items you come up with.
