The movers have been hard at work this week. I arrived to find most of the shelving and clothes racks moved downstairs. I started the day moving ethnology stuffs onto their shelves with Kaila. I made a cute little discovery. This is not a block of cement, as I so stupidly assumed, its from the Great Wall of China. No big deal.
Sometimes we get put in our place by a brick.
So. Anyway [brushes off ego].
Post coffee break was spent moving clothes to the newly assembled racks in order to clear off what was left so it too could come downstairs. We started with the wedding dresses and I confess, I was super excited. I have been wanting to check them out for a while.
The lace just blows my mind. This little section here ranges from the late 1920s but to about the 40s. Awesome. I imagined myself dancin' around in them, of course not allowed in real life. But a girl can dream right?
This isn't ours, its the city's, but I like that category. A little depressing but way to be sensitive guys in the 30s.
These jackets were super lovely. I don't really know a better way to describe it. The beading is so intricate and all done by hand. Amazing. I love this style. Don't be surprised if you see me running around in something like this. Get ready, I'm bringing back the 80s [the 1880s, that is].
These bad boys are graduation dresses from the turn of the century up to about the late teens. Once again, I want to wear these all summer. So light and delicate. I'm sold. This whole move has really proven just how amazing our collections really are. I didn't doubt it, but its just in my face now.
I really wish my phone took better photographs. These two tops blew me away.
So anyway, I end this Tuesday with sore feet and in awe of how cool people got to dress. Now we just run to the mall.
Oh well. Happy Tuesday!
