11 Buttons
Took a side trip back to 1630 Salem, MA yesterday. I visited Pioneer Village, a living history museum, a short trip from downtown Salem. It is a recreation of an English colony led by Roger Conant and a group of settlers. There are various buildings in the settlement with settlers retelling stories of day to day life back in the 17th Century. One gent was wearing this outfit. Now, I like the vest-look, but even for me this might be a bit much. Here we have 11 buttons and 13 holes on a top coat. And just a note, there were more above and below. I guess you could say, this would be the latest in their fall wear collection.
Heidi K. would be so proud!
I think that you could play the traditional children's game of Button, Button, Who's got the button?
ReplyDeleteThat is 17th-century snazzy.
ReplyDeleteWow, that would take a while to get in or out of.
ReplyDeleteI love visiting these places. Such fun to step back in time!
ReplyDeleteIt would be difficult to button hole this guy.
ReplyDeleteHe would barely be dressed in time for lunch....
ReplyDeleteAll those buttons must have been more for fashion than for securing the vest.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun way to spend the day. Those buttons are great to look at but, I wouldn't want to have to button them all.
ReplyDeletethank goodness for zippers!
ReplyDeleteI can think of only one good use for so many buttons and that is to close the mouths of certain politicians who tend to pollute the air, land and sea with their inane babble.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great trip with lots of photo ops. Perhaps we'll see more of Salem. Good color!
ReplyDeleteLakeland Checks In!
I would have lost them all.
ReplyDeleteYou get them all buttoned to find that you off by one button/hole and have to undo and start all over....We enjoyed the Witches Museum and the House of Seven Gables when we visited some years ago.
ReplyDeleteMy neck of the woods. How did this guy feel when you trained your lens at his belly button?
ReplyDeleteGeez, get a zipper. This gives new meaning to the term "buttoned down."
ReplyDeleteI admire attention to detail. I"m so ....not. That would have escaped me for sure but you have a keen eye Bird.
ReplyDeleteV
