Mourning Attire Monday! 🖤🥀🖤🥀🖤 During the Victorian era, there were respected stages of mourning and fabrics to go with it. Crape material for dress and jet jewelry were often worn. The clothing expressed the wearer’s stage of grief without them having to utter a word. Stages included: Deep Mourning, First Mourning, Second Mourning, Third Mourning and Half-Mourning (Lesser Mourning). There were some rules when it came to length of mourning. 2 years for mourning a deceased husband, 1 year for deceased parents, 1 year for deceased children, 6 months deceased grandparents, 6 months deceased friends or when receiving an inheritance, 6 months deceased siblings, and 3 months for deceased aunts and uncles. 🥀💀

Memento Mori Victorian Hair Art — one of my personal favorite Victorian era objects of mourning❤️ hair art was also a way to make family trees and tokens of friendship. Hair art has roots in the 17th and 18th century, when “death was everywhere” - but became incredibly popular during the Victorian era, when Queen Victoria went into a state of formal mourning that lasted the rest of her life. 🥀💀 art

IN LOVE with that old book smell? This old and rare French beauty is 290 years old — nearly 300 years and still holding it together 🥀💀

When you hear the word URANIUM many minds wander to thoughts of atomic bombs or nuclear disasters. Back in history, uranium was used quite often as a coloring agent for glass. The uranium oxide is what allows the glass to glow so beautifully in a black light. Does it emit radiation? Small amounts, but yea. Does that make it dangerous? The levels of radioactivity vary by piece between 1% and 25% by weight, but there is “no recognized danger” according to the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission 💀🥀
