i thought i lost it

- this file of images from a long-gone studio.

but no!
It's here, and they're in it.
Anyway, a nice chance to recall the words of Lucinda.

Take a look at this (and don't be deterred by dorkiness) on home making, from the most well-mannered and modest of women, who makes life feel appealing, warm, intimate, real, and brave. Her own most direct literary ancestor was Jane Austen, as is made charmingly clear by a brief passage from the title story of her book The Lone Pilgrim:

Oh, domesticity! The wonder of dinner plates and cream pitchers. You know your friends by their ornaments. You want everything. If Mrs. A. has her mama's old jelly mold, you want one too, and everything else that goes with it -- the family, the tradition, the years of having jelly molded in it. We domestic sensualists live in a state of longing, no matter how comfortable our own places are.
