How touching and thoughtful for her to remember those lost young men on her own wedding day.Sylvan Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13516178337810669545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-26283264027111102782011-05-01T12:45:36.378-04:002011-05-01T12:45:36.378-04:00The things you ladies find on the 'net!

I really liked the slideshow of Gravetye Manor and the sapphire wedding garter that Queen Victoria gave to Prince Albert. I also want to make that romantic Jane Eyre shawl.Laurennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-81329620509649115122011-05-01T12:12:21.989-04:002011-05-01T12:12:21.989-04:00Gravetye Manor is awesome.

I would love to spend a month in England/Scotland exploring the old manors, but then I think I'd really need several years.<br /><br />The plastic surgery was very scary but I was surprised by how little some things have changed over the years. Now they burn you with chemicals instead of a hot poker ;)<br /><br />The building losses always make me so sad. So many were beautiful and the craftsmanship lost is something we'll never regain.<br /><br />What a moving picture though of Kate's bouquet on the grave. She had such beautiful simplicity to everything. It was wonderful.<br /><br />As a side note, my mother was married in a navy blue suit (the star patterned quilt page had a beautiful one shown.) Funny, I hadn't thought about that in years.<br /><br />I love these Sunday morning links. They're so much more than just information.nightsmusichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05984119792540771870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-6925321611657647172011-05-01T07:32:17.441-04:002011-05-01T07:32:17.441-04:00i love your breakfast links. the gravetye manor ma...i love your breakfast links. the gravetye manor makes me goose bumps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
