Sylvanian Families Horse-Drawn Caravan
The Sylvanian Families Horse Drawn Caravan offers a charming glimpse into a nomadic lifestyle often romanticized in British culture. Pulled by a gentle grey horse with a harness, the green and red caravan features a cozy interior with windows, a door, and even a small cooking area visible. This playset evokes images of traditional Romani caravans and the history of traveling communities in Britain, representing a sense of freedom and connection to the countryside. It's a sweet miniature portrayal of a mobile home, reminiscent of vintage British fairground or countryside living. -

Percy Bysshe Shelley - Letter to Mary Shelley (Audio)
"'Everybody is in despair and every thing in confusion' writes Shelley in his last letter to Mary. He was in Pisa to discuss a new journal, The Liberal, with Leigh Hunt and Lord Byron.
Shelley had been delayed there by Hunt's personal situation (his wife Marianne had been told she did not have long to live) and by Byron's complicated affairs. He hints that Edward Williams might sail back to the Villa Magni ahead of him. Hurriedly concluding the letter, Shelley hopes that Mary was reconciled to staying at the Villa Magni, where he had never been happier, but where she had been ill and wretchedly depressed. In a PS he tells her that he has found the manuscript of his translation." -

124-126 King Avenue, Lincoln Mill Village, Huntsville, Alabama
Field note:
Significance: Lincoln Mills built this six-room frame duplex home ca. 1925 as part of the company's New South Village three blocks south of the mill complex. Each room in a three-room dwelling unit had a fireplace, with running water and toilet facilities at the back of the lot in a separate outbuilding. Indoor bathrooms were added ca. 1950. Original exterior walls were finished with stucco over wooden lath; interior surfaces were wooden. In 1918 Lincoln Mills of Alabama succeeded Abingdon Mills, which was incorporated in 1906, itself a successor to Madison Spinning Mill built in 1900. Lincoln Mill expanded operations, employing 600 workers in 1920, and grew to be the largest textile mill in Alabama by the time a bitter labor strike forced the mill to close in 1955. Most workers found employment in local aerospace industries. The mill complex burned in 1980. -
