| Ribbons and Laces for Very Pretty Faces by Edmund Blair Leighton
Ribbons are such a feminine piece of our past…
Their popularity was proven by the fact that people
used to sell them as a business by themselves.
They can be used as a headband...
They can be worn around braids, woven through braids, or tied to ponytails…
This young lady uses a thick one as a sash around her collar.

Ribbons today...
Incidentally, today the pink ribbon has taken on a new meaning and is associated with breast cancer awareness. This started in 1991 when the Susan G. Komen Foundation handed them out to runners in the New York City race for breast cancer survivors. The pink ribbon was adopted as the official symbol of breast cancer awareness the following year (in 1992) by the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
In Canada, the Royal Canadian Mint produced a silver commemorative breast cancer coin in 2006 with Queen Elizabeth on one side and an enameled pink ribbon on the other.
 in history wore these lovely strands of color along with some historical meanings.

Hi, I found your blog yesterday through Deep Roots at Home. The Godly Princess Unit Study is so nicely written. I have two daughters, a four year old and a 9 month old and I would love to do something like this with them when they are older. I am going to look into getting a couple of the books you mentioned for younger readers.
