    • @mariebelladonna437
      @mariebelladonna437 3 года назад +7

      It is. But that one was not a necklace. It would be hung on the wall. They did sometimes put locks of departed loved ones into a necklace, or even a belt buckle. At a time when pictures were expensive and difficult to obtain (this was also the reason for Victorian death photography, as it was oftentimes the only picture people ever had, of their loved ones), it was a way of visually remembering the loved one.
      Okay, Nerd out. Lol.

    If you come to the UK I think you would love Horniman’s museum. It’s just outside London, Forest Hill. The Victorian gentleman had to buy another house to live in because of his obsessive collecting. Items are still being discovered at the museum. In the 90’s an entire glass and iron gazebo was discovered flat packed. It has been put together and now hosts weddings and social events at the museum. They have a web site if you are interested.

      You are correct sir. When I was a child some 60 years ago, my grandparents had a cabin in the woods that was situated on a lake that we would spend weekends fishing there. With no indoor plumbing they had an outhouse and it was always equipped with either corn cobs or the Sears catalog. Kids think they got it rough now when they have no "bars" or phone chargers.

    I will visit when I am on that side of the state again! Awesome spot! I am going on a one week road trip, leaving from Western NC, and I would love some suggestions for some cool places to stop and see and great places to eat as well! Thanks!

      www.atlasobscura.com/things-to-do/north-carolina/outsider-art
      Also the Elsewhere Museum in Greensboro. www.goelsewhere.org/museum/visit/ Their site doesn't do it much justice.

    I love you. I hope you are still sailing the highways for amazing delights to be charmed by or grossed out by. I tend to gravitate toward the macabre and the gothic myself.Anything unusual in treatments, or preservation of bodies. I'd love t see an early autopsy kit.I hope you're still going strong!

    Definitely adding it to my list of places to check out. Very cool collection! This storm is the storm that never ends it seems. Glad they are able to open. Most of us are just trying to do what we can to get life back to the new normal because it has been so long. As the saying goes come h#ll or high water, life goes on.
