A Victoriana Story
My story begins with my portrait of Queen Victoria as a Royal Bride and expands to include antique needlework tools, lace, crowns and the story of a small sampler.
Each few days I will add another chapter, till it culminates in a surprise Christmas event from Carolyn Meacham.
I hope you will follow along.
