                          WIGS AND WIG HEADS




This grouping is one of the best assembled collection of wigs and wig heads i have had in many many years.  Plus, beyond this picture one more wig was found and will be described and pictured below. Sadly, I bought it after the group picture was taken.  All of these would be totally awesome on the top of a chest or blanket chest. Sorry, but the curling iron is already sold as is the Barrister wig and wig head.







This is the mystery wig. It has a neat make do stand and it is horse hair with an early brown  cotton backing. Perhaps, it was  theatrical or made for someone that needed a wig. It is really neat as also is the stand.  It is 13" high.


$225.00 




The most interesting carved head that just seems to work so well with the collection of wigs.  What great character in the face and the painted surface is so nice. It comes with the stand and is 19 1/2" high combined.


SOLD




Another interesting head and stand in a brownish black dry surface.  It is 16 1/2" high overall.


SOLD


                  

                                     CURTAIN




Made from a homespun blanket this now curtain would work well as a shower curtain with a plastic liner used behind or as a window curtain or perhaps a patio/deck door curtain. It is 81" high x 64" wide and has brass rings for hanging sewn on the back of the top hem. I have several other pictures should you want to see them.


$95.00



                                     POT HOLDERS






On my recent trip to Virginia and the Frontier Culture Museum, I happen to notice a pot holder on the table in the kitchen of the English house. See the picture below. I LOVED it and happen to remember I had a piece of quilt back left from another project and was able to sew 7 pot holders similar to the one I saw. They vary slightly in size from 8" x 6" to 5" x 4".  One is over a kettle at my house if you look at the picture above.


$12.00 each             4 left




Seen a little use at the hearth but such a neat thing. The pot holder sitting on the table in the English house at the Frontier Culture Museum.
