Here's the link http://www.pbs.org/wnet/frontierhouse/ There is a video tab. You might also look for episodes on Youtube. <br /><br />I've enjoyed reading Southern writers and Willa Cather is a favorite. In My Antonia, the narrator yearns for the sight of trees on the Nebraska prairie in the late 1800s "Trees were so rare in that country, and they had to make such a hard fight to grow, that we used to feel anxious about them, and visit them as if they were persons. It must have been the scarcity of detail in that tawny landscape that made detail so precious."<br /><br />Shelleyhttp://sweetromancejewelry.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27478821.post-31253989678716696062016-07-28T16:25:10.653-07:002016-07-28T16:25:10.653-07:00For sure I'd choose the 1920s, the dawn of the...For sure I'd choose the 1920s, the dawn of the modern! The clothing, the jewelry, the hats! Many of the styles are still going on for both women and men, albeit simplified. I was reminded of this when I viewed "The House of Elliott" BBC series recently. This was also the decade when the first women designers, most quite young, set up what became couture houses in both Europe & America. By coincidence, it was also a time of great literature; we're certainly still reading F.Scott Fitzgerald, Hemingway, .... and let's not forget Miss Nancy Drew (debuted in 1929)! A lifestyle icon if there ever was one.

I worked for a major motion picture studio for over 30 years so love everything movies and theatre. In retirement I am working as an usher at the spectacularly beautiful Art Deco Pantages Theatre in Hollywood built in 1930. It was originally a movie palace, hosted the Oscars in the 1950's and currently presents the finest in musical theatre. It is a joy to walk into that gilded palace each evening and interact with the lovely patrons. It transports me to another time.

The art, the homes, the parties, nothing to do but plan your attire for each meal, sumptuous treats and gossip during afternoon tea! Long walks and a good book by the window.

I wish I could have been alive then to be able to wear all the great flapper dresses with all the accessories adorned with feathers and fringe. When I was invited to a Halloween party the first thing I would want to dress up in was a flapper costume. Love the fringe and loved the idea of going down to an antique store for the jewelry. P.

Then the grand finale, the interior. From the lacy, delicate door arches, to the heavily carved stair railing and the ceiling moldings. The best wood carvers for furniture, Belter and Meeks provided such elegance in furnishing such a home!!!

My Grandmother left me a Caphor and diamond necklace in her estate. That prompted me to start collecting camphor jewelry. I love the filigree and cut glass designs. My rarest camphor set includes pink camphor glass that resembles pink depression glass! Sweet Romance is the only jewelry line currently made that resembles the craftsmanship and pride of the jewelry made in the early 1900's. Keep making beautiful jewelry, as expressed in Facebook I get more compliments on Sweet Romance jewelry than any other jewelry I wear.<br /><br />💗 Julie HulleyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27478821.post-3657878212378049492016-07-26T13:39:22.746-07:002016-07-26T13:39:22.746-07:00I would love to spend a day in the Victorian Era! ...I would love to spend a day in the Victorian Era! This time was characterized by optimism and changes for the better, including in technology, science and medicine. Exploration and adventure engendered a sense of wonder in the world and nature, but Victorians were also grounded in happy family and home life, devotion and a work ethic. They loved their children, pets and gardens and wrapped them in charming architecture and landscaping while at night stories of Peter Pan brought them dreams of far away places. The Victorian era definitely stirs the romantic in me and jewelry from that era does the same!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27478821.post-49122240947694517012016-07-26T13:38:21.154-07:002016-07-26T13:38:21.154-07:00I think I would have loved to live in the time of ...I think I would have loved to live in the time of Jane Austen, the early half of the 19th century. The fashions, the technology, the housing, and the transportation methods were very different then. But there's something about that time that captures by imagination...maybe it's having indulged in "Pride and Prejudice" a few times. Above all of that, there was more of the human element; people treated each other with decency, courtesy, respect, honor, and dignity. It would be difficult to live without all the modern commodities available today, even just for 24 hours, but maybe it would help me to better appreciate what I have.<br /><br />~ Christine SarracinoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14170298579620918774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27478821.post-12662487619362476732016-07-26T13:36:31.455-07:002016-07-26T13:36:31.455-07:00I would love to wear one of those dresses again wi...I would love to wear one of those dresses again with all the fringe from the 1920's, the age of art deco and flappers. I love the architectural design and had wallpaper in a nook that was art deco. The lines are sweeping and broad. I went to a Bonnie and Clyde party in Washington DC years ago where we rented outfits and drank our drinks out of tea cups. The guys wore slouchy suits and the girls twirled their long pearl necklaces.

In that time, she planted the seeds of a simpler time. She was 20 yrs old in 1907. I always loved the clothes and jewelry. And hair styles. Being a child of the 60's and not buying store rack clothes, she and I would put together clothes with lace collars and long dresses. She would also crochet little skull caps for me. My house now is decorated with antiques, many of which belonged to her. My home was built in 1887. So I guess I would like to live in that era more than a day. I have many Sweet Romance pieces of jewelry. I always get compliments on them. Thank you for letting us share our stories with you.
