I guess I thought it was about what it...Hi Nancy,<br /> I guess I thought it was about what it was but didn't really take in the amount of detail it involved. Plus, had not thought about having to choose appropriate fabric and having to work with so many different fabrics. It might be fun to find a copy of the book and really get a better understanding of what it means to be a carriage trimmer. <br /> I sew, so am very familiar with different fabrics and sewing them so I can really appreciate his talent as I would never even dream of beginning to re-upholstering a chair let alone a car or carriage.<br /> Thanks for stopping by. I have 4 new posts I am working on but am playing gramma this week.Margiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02485649263574102604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161347793637468886.post-86940679839641826962012-04-21T18:08:27.954-07:002012-04-21T18:08:27.954-07:00Did a carriage trimmer turn out to be what you tho...Did a carriage trimmer turn out to be what you thought it was at first, Margie? I wonder if other old newspapers might reveal images of carriages trimmed by your great-grandfather. Whenever you go to a historical village now you will probably eye up the details of any carriages you see. The trimming may not have been preserved from the 1880s but it would give you a great idea of the details he worked with. It was very nice of the owner to speak so highly of his employee.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161347793637468886.post-26217850701875051882012-03-14T16:55:12.716-07:002012-03-14T16:55:12.716-07:00Mom, this is pretty cool to have one of our ancest...Mom, this is pretty cool to have one of our ancestors in a newspaper!!! How many others have you found in newspapers with glowing reports about them? Very interesting to hear about his profession. I didn't know there was such a thing as a carriage trimmer. It is also neat to have an ancestor who did not have a "typical" profession for that time.Michelle Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10517279537714717848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161347793637468886.post-90779745336864367022012-03-13T00:17:49.729-07:002012-03-13T00:17:49.729-07:00Margie The Campbell House at the MAC here in Spok...Margie The Campbell House at the MAC here in Spokane has one of those fancy carriages like your great grandfather worked on in their Carriage House, so you might want to check it out next time you get to Spokane.Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15311523372083088677noreply@blogger.com
