I could do with a pocket to hang beside my bed for my glasses - I am always knocking them on the floor from the top of my books!N E E D L E P R I N Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05016259421156728225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385848468383267674.post-48801849182427232282010-09-07T01:48:00.681+01:002010-09-07T01:48:00.681+01:00this is what I could find... a hard topic to resea...this is what I could find... a hard topic to research!<br />From:Sampler View Of Colonial Life [Paperback]<br />Mary Cobb<br />"A place to store valuable papers."<br /><br />a mention in another place that they were made to hold the family hymnal.<br /><br />The material used is varied and although we think of these hangable vases as mainly ceramic, they have been made with glass, wood, tin, copper, and cloth. Early references mention wood boxes hung on walls at strategic locations near entry doors or by the hearth, holding candles, matches, or eating utensils. Pockets made from scraps of cloth would hold sewing items – scissors, thread, thimble or darning egg.<br /><br />picture of 1882 wall pocket<br />http://www.ioffer.com/i/valance-pattern-wall-pocket-1882-womens-fashion-dresse-free-shippings-58683296<br /><br />Shirleyshirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15901098974136310517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385848468383267674.post-30377688632144522812010-09-06T23:47:28.287+01:002010-09-06T23:47:28.287+01:00I love this little church - it's a very poigna...I love this little church - it's a very poignant place. I was first alerted to it's designation as "The Actor's Church" by Helene Hanff's book, The Duchess of Bloomsbury Street... She visited it in the mid-60's, and the newest actor buried there was Vivien Leigh. When I made the pilgrimage in 2006, I noted that her one-time husband, of course - Lord Laurence Olivier - is in Poet's Corner in Westminster Abbey... a rather grander final resting place. <br /><br />I think Vivien Leigh may be more important to Americans than her countrymen in some respects - Gone with the Wind is on many "deserted island" lists!<br /><br />Another noteworthy item (at least to me, hahaha) is that the film My Fair Lady opens on the steps of this church... <br /><br />When I visited London, I saw a lot of churches - this was one of the highlights for me.<br /><br />JulieJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08877038657361699565noreply@blogger.com
