A Victorian Smoking Jacket

Here we are then, another part of my fantasy evening at home dressed in, and partaking of, Victorian bric-a-brac: The Smoking Jacket.

This I could wear, again whilst reading, while dragging the odd sweet from my Victorian Smoking Jar.

I would look as smart as a new pin and twice as dashing in this get up!

A Victorian Tobacco Jar






Another antique from the Victorian era. This is a Tobacco Jar. Not a lot of good to me for that purpose but I quite fancy the idea of having one and keeping Imperial Mints (no irony intended) in it. I could wear my Victorain Smoking Hat and read whilst sucking upon the odd mint.


Spiffing Wot?

A Victorian smoking hat




Here we have a lovely Victorian smoking hat. Not that I am a smoker, nothing against people who do but not for me thank you very much.
However, all of that to one side, I can visualise my self wearing one of these magnificent hats, along with a smoking jacket and settling down, not to smoke but to read. Yes, I can see me now in my velvet jacket, hat and a pair of niffty carpet slippers (never wear those either) sitting down with a good book while my family do the things that they do.
