Robin Hood... flour? ›
I was doing research and stumbled upon this! Who knew?
A beautiful beaded dress, early 1920s. The motif around the midsection is of cherry blossoms. One of the frocks to be displayed in the show.

Vintage 1920’s Toaster
What is wrong with me? I’ve been inspired to write a Downton Abbey drabble for a toaster. (Goodness, that’s a beautiful toaster, though.)
=====
“It’s ridiculous to have a toaster on the breakfast table when one has servants to make toast in the kitchen,” Mary said, eyeing the toaster from beneath an arched brow.
Richard carefully removed a slice of toast from between the the ornate grilles of the contraption and scraped his butter knife across it. “You might have noticed the kitchen is quite a ways from the breakfast room. It’s ridiculous to have one’s toast grow cold because one is impractical.” He took a bite, crumbs raining down on his plate, smirking as he chewed. “However, if you would prefer…Barnes?”
“Yes, Sir Richard?” said the butler, waiting by the sidebar.
“Would you do a piece of toast for Lady Mary, please?”
She rolled her eyes. “That won’t be necessary, Barnes,” she said, and popped a slice of bread into the toaster herself.
It’s a beautiful toaster! I’m inspired!

Another (untitled) novel, just what the world needs. A tale of the most corrupt city in America (that somehow lost that particular reputation).
A tale of politicians and police men with greasy palms and gangsters safe inside the city limits. And a tale of a embryonic government agency that, for better or worse, attempted reform.
Above all else, a more modern remake of the Robin Hood legend.
As the title of the blog implies, this is merely the rough draft, snippets, an idea of what the overall work will (hopefully) be.
Also, I, Glorious Clio, claim copyright to any original work herein.
