A
Grisette was a young dressmaker or female worker that would make and mend the dresses of
La Bourgeoisie women during the 18th and 19th century. At that time, of course, there were no sweatshops in Bengladesh and if you needed a garment you had it made locally at a pretty affordable price. Workers in 1830 were paid next to nothing and their average annual working time was 3 000 hours against 1 620 hours today. BTW, last reminder, the
PDP picnic is today!
That is just lovely. Everyone have fun at the PDP picnic, and send photos/vines/videos to the rest of us.
ReplyDeletehave fun at your picnic, wish I was in Paris. Anne
ReplyDeleteHave a great picnic!
ReplyDeleteTake lots of pictures (and a video too). I can't wait to see everybody's smily faces. Wishing I was there too!
ReplyDeleteI think I just walked by this on the canal a few days ago. It was raining steadily, but it was a good walk anyway. I think the weather will be good for a picnic, though it won't be like Florida. I have a picnic contribution from Drummond and Mai.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing a few old friends and meeting some new ones. I have the notebook that Rose gave me in 2008, so I can get more signatures to remember everyone.
Have a nice day, wish I was there !
