I would like to invite you to purchase the new book offered by Ida Tomshinsky on history of textile. The book's title speaks for itself - it is all "About Being able to Look GOOD in a Burlap Sack." This book is about natural magic -burlap, a nature's gift to civilization. It is a man-made textile creation given to us by a plant called jute. Burlap has many applications, and it is all 'about being able to look GOOD in a burlap sack.' The physical properties of burlap widely known as strength, weather resistance, and versatility. Burlap or jute Hessian cloth has a long-time history, great childhood memories of burlap in cloth and in bags from potato sacks to sophisticated tailoring in fashion design and smart interior designs and great craft home projects.
In addition, there are books from the History of Fashion Accessories Series about socks, gloves and the "Dairy of the Handkerchief" written by Florida author, Ida Tomshinsky. You never will look at your socks, gloves and other fashion accessories with the same attitudes.

Bird's School
It was a routine summer morning. I put
my walking cloth on and went outdoors for the morning walk. You never know what
will be the surprise of the day – you can always run into astonishing scenery. And
this is why I cannot stop going to the His Majesty, The Ocean.
The quit morning and discolored sky covered with after and before the rain clouds that safeguarded the morning sun over the Atlantic Ocean. The water with white edged waves followed the southwest wind. I entered into the ‘bird’s school.’ There were about thirty small size sea-gulls standing in chess-board order very lineal. All in the same position turned away their little bodies and heads from the wind and waiting for the superior adult birds to bring them food in the beak. The ‘bird’s school’ was watched over by three or four adult sea-gulls that looked and found the bird food for the youngsters from the sand and the water.

Somebody passed by closely, and the
little birds very synchronously flied up with their small wings that need time
to grow and get strength to fly far away the same way as their parents,
teachers, or guardians.

Summer Pose: Poem
A flower, a butterfly dance
Surrounded by green leaves,
Sun and few clouds at once
Make me appreciate the days and eves
Quiet
mornings and spraying rain
Work so good
with my mind and brain.
Thanks to freshmen
year of Psychology course,
I appreciate
the pathway of knowledge that rouse
With
life-long days and minutes
Building
momentous
Looking
forward to what will happen next
Only the
heart knows the best
Kindness and
passion, and other non-paradox impossibility
As a shiny
smile and happiness on a dull day
Create
happiness and delighters may possibly
Cross the
road as astray
There is a
strong verse in the universe
Rhyming of
cause
Because
despite the oz
I am
describing my summer pose
My
eleven-day expedition
Shows my
position
Every minute
of it
Is a story
with a heartbeat
The summer
heat
Has that
satisfaction bit,
The mystery
of unknown
Such an
honor to own.

Crespine
Crespine made the appearance at the end of the thirteen century. It was some kind of hairnet and had some innovation element, as in the Miggle Ages to show female hair considered to be immoral.
The crespine was a vertical item that plaited on each side of the face. In the 14th century, the veil reappared, but in new form as a 'nebula' headdress, made of a half-circle of linen framing the face.
In the contrast to the kerchief that was worn on the neck, rounded 'nebula' headdress, was framing the face in a square frame.
Also, in the end of te 14th century the was a cushion-headdress, what had some kind of padded roll worn over the hairnet. Sometimes this was pushed to extreme. The horn headdress came about 1410 with a structure called the "horn-of-a-cow" on which was draped the veil, followed by sausage-shaped roll of padded material forming a narrow U over the forehead.

Motivational
Success means action,
Determination and dedication!
School activity
Means creativity!
Try not to quit, just come upon
Bumping in and leading on.
Day-to-day battling -
Successful people keep rousing
And going ahead
With creative hands
And knowledge-heads
By learning new things,
Everybody able to follow the dreams,
And apply job-oriented skills
From start, at the LRC orientation,
Followed by research and materials variation,
To digital portfolio preparation.

History of Shorts
We are wearing shorts in Miami a lot. But what is the history behind them? Perhaps the tradition came from sport activities.
Sports in 1920s made an influence on bathing costumes. Tennis players worn the summer clothes of this period. In April 1931, Senorita de Alvarez played tennis in divided skirts which came to slightly below the knee, and two years later Alice Marble of San Francisco appeared in shorts above the knee.
And Mrs. Fearnley-Whittingstall appeared at Wimbledon without stockings. This uproar by public, but was soon adopted by majority of women-players.
Cycling, although contributed to the fact that young women adopted shorts, sometimes so short that opposition made expressions when English cycling clubs went abroad.
