Buy props used in MaryJane’s books and magazine!
5% of profits will benefit www.firstbook.org, a non-profit that provides new books to children from low-income families throughout the U.S. and Canada.
Here’s how:
MaryJane will post a photo and a description of a prop and its cost along with a few details as to its condition here: https://shop.maryjanesfarm.org/MaryJanesCurations. It’s a playful way to be the new owner of a little bit of farm herstory.
Look at those Jubilee Hats! I love those turn of the century styles for when it was time to get dressed up. Being out of the house for just about anything was an occasion to be properly dressed. I wonder what I would look like in an outfit like one of these?
My book Jubilee Trail came in the mail and I can’t wait to get started as soon as I finish the book I am reading. Because of the title, I intend to add it to my Jubilee badge work for the beginner level if it turns out to fit in.
Somewhere in my distant past, I used to own this book, but it seems to have gotten lost… I vaguely remember loving it!
I am excited to read it too!
Who are they?!? Do we know?
Unfortunately, we don’t know who these gorgeous women are. I found the photo in a second-hand store.
Wish I should share some of the pictures I found in my grandmother’s house. Turn of the century ladies roughing it on the west coast ~ or maybe they weren’t “roughing it” and that was just the way it was. Standing in front of a tent, in a rowboat, sitting on logs waiting to be shipped, even one holding a very unhappy bird ~ all with hats in place and blouses neatly tucked in. They fire up my imagination!
