Atumnal Vintage Vibe and Poem "From without and In"

                                                                 AUTUMN VIBES.




 As Autumns Gales begin to Howl 
And a mist hazes round the moon
The fox is hunting for the fowl
And twill have supper soon.

I sit and think of all the comforts
From without and In.
And Ponder on this blessed home 
From without and In.

The comfort of a warming fire
And sometime Chestnut's too.
The soft singing of a choir,
Of which numbers two.

                                                 Of, fluffy socks and cups                                                    of tea which warm
From without and in
Of all pursuits of Autumnal kind
From without and In

so for each day, we should begin
with thankful hearts to pray,
For that blessings which doth come
From our Lord each day.

Anne of Green Gables Book vs 1980s Miniseries: The Wincey Dress

Image
  Anne's wincey dress: A comparison. Book: when we first meet the well-loved red-headed heroine is wearing                          “very short, very tight, very ugly dress of yellowish-white wincey”  W incey is a fabric originating in the British isles made of a twill weave with a linen warp and a woollen weft. It was a coarse and scratchy fabric that would definitely make you "wincey" a bit!                          This petticoat (probably from the Victorian Era) is labelled as being made of wincey or Lindsey- woolsey (the alternate name for it). This too is a yellowish colour it may even have begun the same colour as Anne's (yellowish-white) and yellowed with age!   Put your Anneish imaginations to work and imagine this fabric as a dress, a short tight and ugly dress and there you have it! Anne's dress. So using this information, ...

Emma. 2020 Costume analysis.

Image
  "Handsome, clever, rich" is Austen's first description of the now-beloved heroine, Emma, whom Austen thought nobody would much love but her! (Little did she know...). Emma comes to the silver screen once again in 2020 to re-delight viewers with a fresh new take on the tale.  This version immediately got notice from the costuming community with many proclaiming it the best costume adaption of Emma out of all adaptions so far.  Published in December 1815,  the directors of the movie appear to have set it to begin somewhere between 1815-1817, so to clarify that is a bit later than most Austen adaptions so far with most being set between 1795-1813. So naturally the style is also a little different seeing as the fashions were quite rapidly altering  at the time with every 5-10 years having a different silhouette.  In this GIF collection, there are three different styles of gown: full daywear, an embroidered summer dress and a white summer dress with bright und...

Authors That Inspire Me

Image
Do you ever find yourself barely able to breathe from the sheer captivation of the written word? Some books have that effect, don't they?  In this post, I thought I would dive into the reasons for my sincere appreciation of some of my very favourite authors, exploring how their works have inspired and taught me... Let's start with Jane Austen (as I often do 😉). She is the queen of omniscient narration using free indirect discourse. In plain English, this means she is excellent at narrating a story in 3rd person, while tapping into a specific character's thoughts and feelings. She does this with multiple characters at different points in her novels, without using 1st person to share her characters' internal workings. She cleverly reveals their opinions and emotions, but not all at once. Sometimes it's subtle, sometimes it's momentous. At any rate, Austen was an author who loved to surprise her readers and equally loved to make them laugh.  So how does Jane Auste...
