Andrea and I spent today finishing off our artifact logging from the day before and then started the process over again.
The coolest pieces of the day were this photograph of a woman and her lace making tools and the actual tools themselves. I forget her name now but she was referred to as the best lacemaker around on the back of the photo. Andrea and I are starring artifacts that we find particularly cool or interesting and we are going to put together an on line exhibit to show them off. This lovely lady is making the cut. Check out how cool our gloves are. Preservation can be sexy. [I need a nap]
These shoes and this painting are a part of the Spain collection. I love these shoes. Stamped and painted. No one makes things like they used to. I really love this process of locating artifacts. I get to open boxes and interact with these pieces that have been packed away for years. It's nice to know that now people will be able to access them and use them rather than just have them floating in storage.
