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.
