Meet Ms. Constance Evers. Not Miss or Mrs, if you please.
Widowed at 23, Constance invested her meager savings into a run down textile company. With a shrewd head for business within a year she had taken the business over and had brought it from the brink of bankruptcy to a thriving enterprise, making her the only female textile merchant in the Americas.
With the war over in the southern states, Constance was striking out on her own to the barely touched textile market of Savannah, Georgia.
See could see it now, sourcing the finest silks and satins, muslin, lace and ribbons for the southern gentry.
Tucked into her leather bag was this journal. A place to jot down new ideas, resources and profitable contacts.
This book has been painstakingly handcrafted from miscellaneous fabrics, ribbons, sari silks and threads. Much care was taken to sew the pieces and bind in tea stained papers of various sources to create this truly one of a kind art.
With this journal will come a generous amount of vintage ephemera to decorate the pages and take you back in time to when Constance ruled the textile market.
