The Spices Are Also Important:
The spices are also important:
1. Poultry seasoning
2. Celery seed
3. Ground mustard
4. White pepper (or black)
5. A dusting of sweet paprika (not enough to taste it separately)
I finally got a chicken soup to turn out delicious and my kids are like, "Way to go, Mom, it tastes like canned soup." 🥴
The key, by the way, is cooking organic onions, celery, and carrots in separate water till very soft, then adding some of the veggie cooking water to the bone broth. Changes the whole flavor.

Are you ready for more pumpkin?
This perfectly pumpkin stunner is courtesy of Augusta Lundin, who was the first haute couture designer from Sweden to get worldwide acclaim. At the turn of the 20th century she was known for gowns like this, highlighting the more slender silhouette of the Edwardian era but mixing in traditional Swedish embroidery and aesthetics.
This many-layered lovely dates from 1913 and uses silk georgette (a crêpe fabric), lamé, velvet, lace, chiffon, and gold and silver thread embroidery. Really, an absolute work of art in every sense of the word.
I adore the structural aspects--they are particularly lovely toward the hemline. I find some dresses in this period a little samesies, but I like how this one does its own thing.

Studio of Alessandro Allori • Portrait of Virginia de' Medici,daughter of Cosimo I de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany • (1568–1615) • Private collection
A truly beautiful portrait of a well-dressed member of the Medici family. Seventeenth century fashion at its best. Nothing to snicker about; I'm chagrined.
They will always go further than they aim for you to follow them so you can feel calm and judicious and balanced for not following them all the way. Then you don't noticed you've moved further than you wanted to.
Gowns forever.
