Ayala's Angel
What's in this issue?
At the Bijou the Decorating article
Though Egbert Dormer was a fictional painter with an entrancing home, the zeal of his followers was equaled by the followers of real-life artists whose work and homes became magnets to individuals hoping "to keep alive their art-feeling" and that found themselves equally bewitched by houses and home-lives that were works of art in themselves. The following recounts our modest armchair pilgrimage to the homes of Claude and Alice Monet, Pierre and Aline Renoir and Carl and Karin Larsson, with ideas to help any home become a jewel-like "bijou."
Sharing The Light the Hearth article
In eras when the environs of an art academy or atelier studio were not readily attained by the beauties of the ballrooms, daughters of artistic dynasties (like Trollope’s Dormer sisters) had the rarefied opportunity to "share the light" of their fathers’ studios—to listen with rapt attention to the "sermons" of their aesthetic homes; to "overflow with art up to [their] ears," to "keep alive art-feeling among them." An artist’s daughter herself, Elspeth describes things she absorbed from her own childhood home.
Good Gifts and Pretty Ways the Kitchen article
French, Italian and even Scottish cookery are traditionally less about costly ingredients than about coaxing any food—whether ritzy or reasonable, fabulous or fading, swank or stale—to be its very best. For that reason, we searched for period recipes that used the kind of ingredients that would have fitted Aunt Margaret’s careful budget while adding some Ayala-like charisma to elevate and enhance the dishes to make them fit for even the "gorgeous mansions" of the Victorian era. Recipes include: Cringles, Penny Egg Pudding, Winter Cake, Cullis, Blonde or Brown Roux, Sage and Potato Soup.
And Primroses the Garden article
Victorian huntsmen were bound to say "evil things of violets and primroses" because any sure signs of spring marked the end of the foxhunt season. From its history to its care, Nancy considers the primrose.
The Loveliest Locks the Workshop article
In the Victorian tradition of keepsake locks of hair, we set Ashton and Elspeth to the task of creating a keepsake shadowbox designed especially for the "loveliest locks."
The Treasure of Lincloudon the Writer's Garret article
Seymore, Leornian, and their guide, Bonnie Duhg, arrive at Lincloudon Colledge, about a mile north of Dumfries, Scotland at the confluence of Cludin Water and the River Nith. They meet Grumley Stibble, the elderly caretaker of the lytfolc garden associated with the Wizard’s Knot. Grumley, the last survivor of the once thriving lytfolc societies that dwelt for centuries at the now ruined abbey, is the keeper of a treasure that once belonged to his father and grandfathers. In the treasure, Seymore discovers something that will change his life.
