I'm from NYC, my great-grandmother loved shopping at B. Altman's in part because her name was Bertha Altman, of no relation to the owner, but she got the best service there because of her name. She was a very petite and stylish woman and lived into the 1970s. In my head, you now own my great grandma's coat because it's possible. She would've been a young mom when this was in style.

The monogram must be FB. At first, I thought JB or JCB. The calligraphy F looks a lot like the J.

When you said that there was a museum accession number in the dress, my first thought was "Did Abby just buy stolen goods?".

I'm watching this while getting ready backstage at the Ohio Renaissance Festival. It makes me so happy you came to our faire! Come back any time!

@vickymc9695 Год назад

Ermm the reason people don't really use umbrellas in Scotland is because any rain that's hard enough to be worth using one comes with winds that will break them. Maybe be careful if like it. 🙂

@LivingInTheShade Год назад

Just looked up William Beehler and he was an American umbrella maker.

I love the silk dress, and honestly I love seeing repair work too. That means someone cared enough to make it live a little longer. I know the silk is going to disintegrate. But it would be really neat to go through it, photograph and document everything and then remake a copy. That way it could live on far after it because shattered dust.

@marikotrue3488 Год назад

Before I forget, hello to Judy (friend of Abby's mom). I admire anyone who tries anything to dress up for a RenFaire. I wore selected pieces in black including boots, looked a little dour, so I popped on a copper circlet decorated with miscellaneous rose gold ribbons, beads and announced to my very well dressed (think Pierroette meets Moulin Rouge) friend, let's go. That thrifted hat is so IT! I am not a hat person, but that hat could convince me that I was.

@EmissaryofWind Год назад

that coat is almost identical to the one Anastasia wears on the way to the Opera in Paris

@marymugge1523 Год назад

Gah! I miss the Ohio Ren fest! I hope you got to see the the Gentlemen swordsmen. Their show is hilarious! If you want another fun weekend, go back for the Highland Games weekend. They take crowd volunteers and stage a highland games with prizes from the various booths for each event. The haggis toss is so funny and so much fun. I won three years running and had an absolute blast.

@rburns8083 Год назад

I love the footage of you and your mom and getting to see where you get some of your fabulous sense of humor from!

@MsKimberkat Год назад

Based on my experience working with baskets, I'd say this is an oak splint, double-handle work basket that dates circa 1860. My guess is that it was used for laundry and the dampness of wet clothes helped create the current shape but not being able to examine it for water staining, that's just a guess. And I'll take a stab at SBG (or SGB, left to right) for the monogram.

@kw9858 Год назад

Yes, if it is made from oak splints (I can't say for sure from the video), it's more likely to be older, as that is a traditional material. Although weavers today do indeed weave using historical patterns, very few of them work with oak, it is very difficult! I'm an apprentice weaver and I've only harvested and woven with bark. Using the interior of a tree (splints), whether oak or ash, is much more labor intensive. I'd also look for a name or initials on the bottom of the basket.

@kittnorse7675 Год назад

Abby, I need you to know this story. The day you came to the faire my partner and I were having a morning smoke at Danny Boy Pipes. We were chatting with one of the workers who was sipping on a Bloody Mary for breakfast. When all of a sudden this girl comes running up and out of breath! “She’s here! She’s here!” She told the worker. After she was able to compose herself the girl explained she had spotted you “The Abby Cox” who had inspired her love for historic clothing. The lady was willing to abandon her Bloody Mary in favor of helping her friend find you so she could at least say hi. No idea if she found you but I hope you had fun. Ps love the clothes haul!

@heighlander44 Год назад

I thought recognized the turkey leg sign in the thumbnail, but told myself every ren faire has a nearly identical decor item like that. Imagine my joy when you, in fact, did go to the Ohio Ren Faire!! Hope you enjoyed it immensely

@bellablue5285 Год назад

Wow I love the blue hat. Initials on the umbrella look like GLB (G in the center/main position, L on left, B on right); my grandmother had monogrammed stuff in a similar style, reminds me of her stuff.

@ColorwaveCraftsCo Год назад

That’s what I was thinking too

@marmeenoir2896 Год назад

We live 1.5 miles from our regional Ren Faire however we are gridlocked at home every weekend from October until Thanksgiving weekend... it's a love hate thing. Thi year we need to but bat style wings in red or burgundy and blue or teal so my toddlers can be Pain and Panic from Hercules next Halloween. Theyll be almost 1 and almost 3 respectively. I'm gonna be Meg, and my hubby will be Hades.

NYer here… it’s pronounced Steye (rhymes with eye) va - sant. It’s the last name of one of the early Dutch families who settled in New Netherlands. Peter Stuyvesant was the last Dutch director general (essentially governor) before the English took over the colony in 1664.

Forgive my grammer i have been up for 30 to 36 hours. I love the hat 😍😍😍 I have many hats in my life but I don't wear them as often as I would like! So if the museum "rejected" the dress due to it being not 100% original wouldn't that be rejecting the whole premise of historical clothing repairing, altering, creating new outfits from the scraps of old. How many dresses are 100% original? We did finally make it to the ohio ren faire for Sci fi weekend! My fiance and I are planning a UK trip possibly honeymoon or maybe just a trip I can't wait to be back over there! Have fun on the cruise!

When I was 14, I became super curious to see the National Underground Railroad Museum in Cincinnati. We live in NY, but my dad booked 2 flights tickets for me and him to visit my Cincinatti museum, the Football Hall of Fame in Canton, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. We also visited a massive Ohio thriftstore warehouse that looks like the one in the video. Social media as an adult has made me feel, not less weird, but less alone in my weirdness. Yay to parents to embrace their children’s quirky interests!!!!! ❤

@emmadavey3892 Год назад

I wonder what would happen if you had a room full of sewing people and played them the sound of snaps opening or closing? Perhaps you can experiment on the cruise. 🤭 Captive audience so to speak. The cocoon coat is glory itself! ❤

@SecretSquirrelFun Год назад

If you want to gently reshape your basket, submerge the basket in water for several hours until the cane becomes softer and more flexible. Then make your adjustment - you could brace it between two heavy objects and leave it to dry in that new position. Perhaps put some weight in the base too - a few bricks wrapped in a cloth works well. When weaving cane, it is soaked beforehand and woven wet to make it easier and more pliable, preventing snapping of the canes. It also dries tighter. A sign of well made, quality cane woven items is long individual canes (as opposed to lots of smaller pieces). I will usually find an end piece and trace it back to its starting point - individual canes can be say 4 to 6 feet long - so that’s a great way to spot well made items. I find that older items tend to have longer individual canes. Pre mass production etc.

@lygophilia4127 Год назад

Following all the curls, I believe the monogram on the umbrella handle is sgs (reading left to right). But there's an extra little curl on the top left that seems to be just to make it look more symmetrical, since it's not connected to anything that doesn't already have a connection, if that makes sense. Also the flouncy curls on the g are crazy excessive.

@mala3isity Год назад

I'm excited to see if you picked up any accessories for your cruise. STIE-vess-sent Peter Stuyvesant was a Dutch colonial officer who served as the last Dutch director-general of the colony of New Netherland from 1647 until it was ceded provisionally to the English in 1664, after which it was split into New York and New Jersey with lesser territory becoming parts of other colonies, and later, states.
