It was really fun going though the Whitney’s store. They had it set up like it was back then. I learned a lot about how smart the women were back in that time. For instance they wore plane white bonnets for day-to-day living, but when they dressed up and wore a fancy bonnet, the bonnets were always lined with peach colored silk. This would give their face a nice peachy glow! Hopefully you can see the bonnets in the picture. They also sold hurricane lamps made of tin. They poked holes in the tin to let out the candlelight. The holes were poked from the inside out so that the wind wouldn’t blow the candle out; even in a… you guessed it a hurricane.
