You learn something new every day.
Today, while reading a galley of Hoopskirts, Union Blues, and Confederate Grays by Kate Havelin, I found out that the Paisley pattern is named for Paisley, Scotland. During the Civil War era, the town became known for the distinctive design on their popular shawls.
Havelin's book is due out in October of 2011 and will keep the attention of kids and adults with its attractive pictures and descriptions of what anyone who was anyone was wearing in the 1860s.
