Chests And CharityMissy never wanted to discuss marriage. So, one day I decided that it wastim e to plan a proposal. She was very fond of the Victorian period. Therefore, Ibegan collecting the items necessary to make the proposal.First, I found a picture of a Victorian engagement ring in the Smithsonianmagazine. I took the pictur e to a local jeweler and had him make a similar one.The ring was a large garnet surrounded by pearls. The shaft of the ring was in agold filigree pattern. Next, I purchased an old steamer trunk from a junk/antiquestore. I spent several days rebuilding and refinishing the trunk. I then purchaseda silver heart shaped box to put the ring in. I placed the box with the ring in thetrunk. I also placed an old doll, a bible, and other artifacts that would have beenfound in a young ladies trunk.Finally, I covered the items with three handmade quilts. Th e top one was adouble wedding ring quilt the second was a young girls bonnet quilt and the thirdwas a young boys StaeStatus: 20
