The Historical Dilettante: May 2013
http://www.historicaldilettante.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 26, 2013. Fake Out: Original Reproductions. One thing leads to another on the Internet. That's as much as I'm going to say about how I found myself looking at an online catalogue of celebrity impersonators the other day. I must admit that given a choice, watching a celebrity impersonator performance isn't high on my list. Except when fake becomes real. Some observers of the insular world of art appreciation, such as Forged. Author Jonathon Keats, assert that it is the f. Who assumed various i...
The Historical Dilettante: Forgotten History: John Brashear
http://www.historicaldilettante.blogspot.com/2012/12/forgotten-history-john-brashear.html
Saturday, December 15, 2012. Forgotten History: John Brashear. Though my soul may set in darkness;. It will rise in perfect light;. I have loved the stars too fondly. To be fearful of the night. I recently attended a Heinz History Center Ambassador Lecture Series presentation about Western Pennsylvanian John Brashear. Samuel Pierpont Langley. Source: Wikipedia Commons. Such accessibility was a critical concern, for as Brashear stated in his autobiography:. Remains active to this day. Brashear's star shon...

Thursday, May 28, 2015. Forgotten History: quiet, pleasant and self-possessed Sarah Jane Negley Mellon. If you're from Pittsburgh, you know the name Mellon. The name seeped into my consciousness at an astonishingly early age. I vividly recall being 5 years old and placing my chin on a walnut handrail after clambering up a marble step to peer into display cases at the Carnegie Museum. Scaife miniature dioramas, Carnegie Museum of Art. Scaife miniature dioramas, Carnegie Museum of Art. And of course I coul...
The Historical Dilettante: June 2013
http://www.historicaldilettante.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 5, 2013. Invasion of the Species. Last summer I piled my family in the car and we took off on the trail of George Washington in Western Pennsylvania. We had colored and mounted a drawing of George Washington on a stick so we could bring him along for photo ops and. Suggested rural scenic routes along the signposted Washington's Trail that are thought to more closely parallel the route Washington took in fall 1753. You can view a map of the Washington Trail at this LINK. Once our 8 year ol...

In the Footsteps of Eleanor of Aquitaine: Fontevraud Abbaye
http://eleanorfootsteps.blogspot.com/2012/10/fontevraud-abbaye.html
In the Footsteps of Eleanor of Aquitaine. Historical tour of northern France with author Sharon Kay Penman. June 3-13, 2011. Thursday, October 25, 2012. Thursday, June 9, 2011. We had free time that evening to explore Fontevraud. We'd all made advance arrangements through our fabulous tour manager for dinner so as to avoid last night's mealtime fiascos. After all, it wasn't like we could cook up a meal in the abbey kitchen for ourselves. It's a little, uhm, rustic. The kitchen was restored in the early 2...
In the Footsteps of Eleanor of Aquitaine: July 2012
http://eleanorfootsteps.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
In the Footsteps of Eleanor of Aquitaine. Historical tour of northern France with author Sharon Kay Penman. June 3-13, 2011. Monday, July 9, 2012. Tuesday, 7 June, 2011. Our drive from Falaise to Mont St-Michel was long. The delay leaving Paris earlier in the day caused a few of us to fret about possibly not having time to enjoy the town before the sidewalks rolled up. We didn't care if the shops sold tourist trinkets; we just wanted to be there. Photo by Nicole Benkert. According to legend, in 709 the A...
In the Footsteps of Eleanor of Aquitaine: Chapelle Sainte-Radegonde de Chinon

In the Footsteps of Eleanor of Aquitaine. Historical tour of northern France with author Sharon Kay Penman. June 3-13, 2011. Tuesday, February 19, 2013. Chapelle Sainte-Radegonde de Chinon. Friday, June 10, 2011. Having lost my boutique innocence in Chinon, I cheerily boarded the bus. I was basking in a splash of sun like a well-contented cat when it was announced that we had more Plantagenet exploring to do. Off the bus, then, and out for a walk along some troglodyte dwellings high above the city. You c...
In the Footsteps of Eleanor of Aquitaine: Orléans
http://eleanorfootsteps.blogspot.com/2013/03/orleans.html
In the Footsteps of Eleanor of Aquitaine. Historical tour of northern France with author Sharon Kay Penman. June 3-13, 2011. Thursday, March 14, 2013. Saturday, June 11, 2011. We were originally meant to stay overnight in Angers but in order to cut travel time on our last day we were directed to the city of Orléans. We passed this unique and complex Europe Bridge spanning the Loire on the western edge of Orléans. Designed by architect Santiago Calatrava, the bridge opened in 2000 to much positive acclaim.

And cover a total distance of almost a third of a mile. So what we are looking at is nothing like the Angers that Eleanor would have known. The ruins and remnants of the buildings Eleanor would have known are to the far upper right of this diagram, which can be found on the grounds. Photo by John Ph illips.
Spinsta @ Large: February 2012

Musings and reportage on Spinsta Life and the projects that get us through. Tuesday, February 21, 2012. Giving Jo-Ann a Piece of My Mind. This was posted on Facebook today by Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores. What prints do you want to see on fleece or flannel? Let us know in the comments below. These are not the kitties they are looking for. There were about 300 comments when I came across this post, nearly all, I kid you not, consisted of variations on "more of the same!

Musings and reportage on Spinsta Life and the projects that get us through. Wednesday, November 16, 2011. Day 5, 95 to go. Tree Skirt (Part 1). Ajamas didn’t happen today. I looked at the cut-out pjs and just wasn’t in the mood to zip them together. Instead, I decided to start on something that has been hanging over me for a couple of years. O I started working on Zoe’s tree skirt today. This is all I have done so far. This will take a while, but hopefully it will be just right for her when...Fergus does...
Spinsta @ Large: Rule Britannia: A Union Jack Tea Cozy
http://spinstaatlarge.blogspot.com/2014/06/rule-britannia-union-jack-tea-cozy.html
Musings and reportage on Spinsta Life and the projects that get us through. Tuesday, June 24, 2014. Rule Britannia: A Union Jack Tea Cozy. I have been a little obsessed with the use of the British flag as a design element for a while now. I even have a Pinterest board. Dedicated to all the ways you can apply it to furnishings, clothing, tea sets etc. I am particularly fond of the ways other color schemes are substituted for the official red, white and blue. Can you identify these London scenes? So here i...
Spinsta @ Large: October 2011
http://spinstaatlarge.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Musings and reportage on Spinsta Life and the projects that get us through. Thursday, October 27, 2011. Why Aren't You Married? Obviously, these people are not deviants. After years and years of hearing this question and trying to find an answer that would make sense to the questioner without going into a big essay on the socio-cultural and personal influences on my marital status, I think I have finally generated a good answer to this question:. Why are you married? I even know of a couple who met when ...

Historical Digression | Musings on history as viewed by someone with one foot in the past
Musings on history as viewed by someone with one foot in the past. October 20, 2017. Boston’s Misguided Emancipation Monument. Boston’s Emancipation Memorial (photo by author). The depiction Ball chose would have been familiar to many at the time. That doesn’t make it a good choice. But it seems clear he was inspired by a famous etching utilized by many abolitionist publications before the war. Featuring a slave in the same posture uttering the words, “Am I not a man and a brother? This statue would bene...
