I have never heard of a #Chatelaine before but after reading this article I am completely fascinated.

It's the ladies version of the #DIY survival belt that I always tried to make as a kid. I absolutely love it!

The Killer Mobile Device for Victorian Women

Like a customized Swiss Army knife, a chatelaine provided its wearer with exactly the tools she needed closest at hand.

When the current *President* of my *nation* is like, "I’m Two-Spirit. I walk in both worlds, in both genders. Embracing my inherent Two-Spirit identity comes with ease because it’s who I am, rather than a label imposed upon me." 😭🪶♾🏳️‍🌈

I’m A Two-Spirit Métis Leader. Here’s How I’m Celebrating My Identity This June - Chatelaine

I walk in both worlds, in both genders. Embracing my inherent Two-Spirit identity comes with ease because it’s who I am, rather than a label imposed upon me.

Since I can't sleep and I'm bored because of an internet outage, I decided to look through my old jewelry making supplies for things I could use in a homemade #chatelaine.
Found a wallet chain with a very strong clip, and a necklace for the chains, both from my childhood. Sadly I can't trust either of them because they have no markings and my nickel allergy didn't manifest until my teenage goth phase (SO MANY dubious metal studs). 🙃
I'll have to wear them and see if an itch appears. 😩
Made out like bandits at the #thrift fair. Picked up a a bunch of cheap silver (coloured) jewellery to make a #chatelaine for my Victorian costume ^_^
