I love how romance and practicality intertwine in this piece of history of such a functional every-day item as a 'hussive'. Thanks for sharing this, I've never heard of hussive before, but you made me think of everyday items I've seen in hisotry museums and how they used to be embellished with various ornaments - it seems we all crave for beauty in our daily lives.
How true! And I think that is why the old saying "what's old is new again" is also so fitting when we look at vintage and antique items... we see the beauty along with the function and update it to match our needs.
Thanks so much for visiting!
And sometimes there's almost no update needed, I've seen some items such as gloves and other accessories in museums which can be sold as is and look very modern and fashionable :) Nothing new under the sun... well maybe apart from technology and plastic ... ;-)
