Ornamental Victorians

Lady Crumpet - this blog gets better and better every day! How on earth could I possibly top the Victorian perfume dispenser? Speaking of, is it me or do all Victorian gadgets resemble bellows or spoons?

Behold these precious trinkets:



Could there be anything more precious, more twee than the Victorian obsession for miniaturising objects?



Goodness. I would love to have some of these, but where would a modern lady ever find the time or energy to make or collect these? Not including the great Martha S of course. And where does one draw the line? Ornamanets would be the start, but before long, you would be out collecting and gilding acorns; or making your own sugar from beets. Just give me my usual 6 blue bulbs per box at Target or Walmart and I'll be happy to covet the Victorians from afar.

Now on to the hat story you promised... I too have another one up my lady sleeve.
