A Window into the Past

Flowers aren't the only thing blooming on Main Street.

I couldn't help but to stop by in awe at the wonderful window display at the Ashfield Historical Society Museum. Thank you to all who made it possible.

Dreams of days gone by. A beautiful blushing bride adorned in a beautifully hand-stitched wedding gown. (Okay Grace, were there treadle machines at that time?) Under-garments, such as a pair of bloomers and lovely petticoats sewn for her special day. A Shaker basket holds sewing items and there is a display of old items for cleaning clothing.

Stop and take a look, you'll be glad you did.

Editor's Note: The Museum is open from 10 a.m. until noon on Saturdays throughout the summer. There are more wonders within.
