Its been years since I visited the Shelburne Museum and I viewed the quilts on display at the time rather indiscrimantly--being only familiar with the late 1800's 'scrap quilts' still in use at my grandfather's farm house.Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281798505305352117.post-59411597315233915042013-05-26T07:07:31.361-05:002013-05-26T07:07:31.361-05:00I don't say anything new by stating I totally ...I don't say anything new by stating I totally agree with you.<br />Just wanted to add I so love your humor that slips in your text.Françoisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16520579721229830065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281798505305352117.post-2952280600296463112013-05-25T23:44:19.858-05:002013-05-25T23:44:19.858-05:00I am proud that I am a nurse, wishing I could go b...I am proud that I am a nurse, wishing I could go back in time, sometimes, when nursing was nursing, and very hard work for very little pay, no picket lines, no complaining, you did it because you wanted to.

I mention this because I, too, have had the opposite experience with some notable institutions, including a branch of a very famous taxpayer-supported museum in Washington D.C. (I may ask my Congresswoman for help). So the Shelburne, it's one of the good guys, not one of the bad guys!suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01885011551892500020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281798505305352117.post-68342350543376412872013-05-25T08:05:55.914-05:002013-05-25T08:05:55.914-05:00It's so good of you to question - and you have...It's so good of you to question - and you have the knowledge to back it up. There have been other things (which escape me since it would be convenient to state an example right now) of things said of the Victorian Era that I know to be incorrect or a tool for a certain purpose posed as something else, etc. I love getting 'into' a time period - so what did this mean? or why that? & so on. You do a fabulous job at that.
