    About this ebook

    Women in charge of houses and estates wore long chains holding important household items around their waist e.g. keys to bedrooms, storerooms, or tea supplies. Essential items were also carried eg. notebook and pen, a watch, sewing items, vinaigrette or perfume, or a magnifying glass. Early chatelaine were simple essentials. Later chatelaine were decorative and expensive, using precious metals and decorated with gem stones.

    Suzi Love

    I now live in a sunny part of Australia after spending many years in developing countries in the South Pacific. My greatest loves are traveling, anywhere and everywhere, meeting crazy characters, and visiting the Australian outback.I adore history, especially the many-layered society of the late Regency to early Victorian eras. In and around London, my titled heroes and heroines may live a privileged and gay life but I also love digging deeper into the grittier and seamier levels of British life and write about the heroes and heroines who challenge traditional manners, morals, and occupations, either through necessity or desire.Tag Line- Making history fun, one year at a time
