Hair Wreath

October 19th - Sunday

While at the Glenn Curtiss Museum I took a picture of this wreath.  It is made from human hair that was collected by one individual.  It is then woven into this beautiful wreath.

I can remember when I was a child, my Grandma Gerow would brush my long dark brown hair then clean out the brush and roll the hair around her finger and put it in a special dish on her dresser and she would do the same for herself.  She did not make a wreath, she made jewelry.  I remember a pin that she often wore.  Now I wonder what ever happened to it.

I bet these dishes bring back memories to some of you also.
