Victoria-Inspired Hair
By Lynn, on April 23rd, 2008
I was looking through an old Victoria magazine today and found a hairstyle that inspired me. I tried my own version of it.
I took a strand of hair on each side, right at the part on top but about 1-1/2 inches from the front. I twisted/rolled each piece back on each side and attached them together at the back of my head with a clip. On the clip I had placed a large flower pin.
I then pulled all the hair back, as if to put in a ponytail and twisted it into a smooth bun around the hair clasp. I then pinned it into place with bobby pins.
Just thought my long hair friends might enjoy it.

About Lynn
I am the mother of four delightful children: a 23-year-old son, a 20-year-old son, a 17-year-old son, and a bright and bubbly 13-year-old daughter. I share an apartment home with my 17-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter. My little home on the internet is called Rose Cottage because of my love for gardening, roses, and all things romantic and Victorian. Welcome.
I'm a North Carolina girl and I love sharing North Carolina links and information. I do medical transcription from home. My hobbies include making sweet little dolls from clay who are named and have their own stories to tell. I also make old-fashioned brooches. These are for sale in my Etsy shop.
For 13 years continuously, I homeschooled some or all of our four children, but the time came that our homeschool had to be closed. It was the end of a beautiful chapter in my life. I will always be a strong supporter of homeschooling and I will continue to review books and maintain my homeschool website, The Healthy Homeschool. The Players

My Symphony
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
William Henry Channing
1810-1884

Very, very pretty my friend. I find it incredible what you are able to do with your hair. This look is very ‘you’!
Thanks, Christy! I do love basically anything old-fashioned.
I’m so happy you stopped by and left a comment.

Hi Lynn! I’ve been meaning to leave you a comment for some time now. I found your blog on the FIAR website when you shared your pictures of your kitchen.
I visit your “home” every morning as part of my daily routine. It brings me such peace. I have been going through some valleys and I would read your blog to bring a peace to my soul.
So I wanted to thank you! You have touched me through your blog!
Many blessings!
Amity
Amity, thank you so much for your sweet comment! I am glad you left one. I had no idea I was getting a visit from you each day, but I’m thrilled. If I remember correctly, you are in an old house too? Is that right?
I visited homebasics. Is it your site? It’s very well done!
Lynn
Beautiful!
Thanks, Hannah!

That looks so pretty! I am so running out of ideas to keep my hair out of my face…and our food….LOL!
Yes, homebasics is my site! Thank you for your comment
!
Yes I have a very old kitchen and home- it was built in 1860!
Thanks, Robin! LOL – I know what you mean about hair getting everywhere. I love your long hair. I have noticed it in your picture. Some days I don’t know what to do with mine. I find if I spend just 15 minutes trying to do something with it, I’m happy.
Amity, then I think I found your blog too! I am putting you in my blog roll, if that’s okay. I’m so happy to have found you on line.
