Keeping Warm in Texas
When the weather became frigid on the frontier , gloves were not enough to keep the hands warm so muffs were used to insulate the hands when not in use. Even in Texas, it can get cold! Here's a challenge--what is this muff made of? Kudos to the first person who comments with the correct materials used to make this muff. This muff was found at the Cat's Meow Antiques in Midland, Texas. The owner is a textile and vintage fashion expert for Antiques Road show. A must see shop if you are ever in the area.
The only hint you get is !!Only in Texas!!

ReplyDeleteMy guess is it's a Longhorn??? I replied immediately with guess when I got email, but guess it didn't work???
ReplyDeleteYou are right!! You must be a ranch lady. I had to ask and was told that it was owned by an old established ranching family here is west Texas. Although it is turn-of-the-century and not our time period I wondered what kind of stories of buggy rides, town trips and ranch fun it could tell us.
