Porcelain dolls that were made 80 to 100 years ago or more can be quite valuable. For example, a doll made in 1916 by the French sculptor Albert Marque—one of 100 limited edition dolls dressed by the Parisian couturier Jeanne Margaine-LaCroix—was sold in 2014 by auction house Theriault’s for $300,000.

Before accepting friend requests, it is useful to find out when that Facebook profile was created. Such a practice will keep you safe from fake profiles, which are newly created and then soon removed (or gets blocked by Facebook). But, unfortunately, so far, Facebook does not clearly display the date of creation of a page/profile. The only place this information resides is the bottom of Timeline. However, in case of profiles/pages which are several years old and have been updated regularly, it is very tedious to keep going down the Timeline in search for the “Joined Facebook” message....

Sheraton’s work often overlaps with that of British designer George Hepplewhite, whose 1788 guidebook, like Sheraton’s, documented the most popular designs of the day. However, the slightly later Sheraton style tends to be simpler, almost severe in comparison, and favors “a fiercely rectilinear silhouette,” according to American Furniture: 1620 to the Present, by Jonathan L. Fairbanks and Elizabeth Bidwell Bates. Few pieces built by Sheraton himself survive today. But his designs and ideas influenced entire generations of furniture-makers, especially in the young United States, as seen in the works of early American masters such as Duncan Phyfe, Samuel McIntire, and John and Thomas Seymour....

A ruffle that does not have enough fullness will end up looking skimpy and as if it has tucks rather then evenly spaced gathers. Gathers do not have folds of fabric mixed with flat fabric. Ruffle Width Choosing a width is the first decision you’ll need to make when making a ruffle. The fabric you’ll be using will play a part in your decision. You’ll want to find a fabric that’s sturdy enough to stay semi-rigid with one layer, but some thinner fabrics can work if you apply two layers and possibly interfacing....
