For all their wonderful range of bright colours, Dewhurt's also put our a fantastic array of more subtle shades too. This shade, I feel falls in between the two, and has the most delightful names: "Reseda". The name Reseda derives from the colour of the leaves of Reseda odorata, commonly known as mignonette.
When it was my birthday two years ago, a very dear friend who enjoys photography as much as I do, and knows that I collect beautiful and vintage pieces, gave me a wonderful selection of antique ribbons, buttons, buckles, lace and other fine notions. She also gave me three follow up tins of similar delightful gifts for Christmas.
Those wonderful gifts are what has inspired me to create this series of "Embroider my World" images featuring examples from my vintage bobbin collection. In this case I am using three of my Dewhurst's Sylko Reseda reels of cotton which date from between 1938 and 1954. The three spools sit on some antique lace which is Reseda in colour. The spools are also accesorised by two clear glass buttons, a silver and Bakelite button where the Bakeline is dyed Reseda, a dainty Victorian double ended crochet hook made out of mother-of-pearl, a floral sterling silver thimble made by Henry Griffith and Sons in 1897, a French sterling silver étui with Art Nouveau patterns from 1912, and a beautiful German Art Deco half-doll accented with Reseda which I acquired recently from a curios and collectables shop.
The "half-doll" is a dainty porcelain or bisque figurine, fashionable in the early Twentieth Century with an upper body, head, arms, but no legs. These dolls were produced in the thousands at the height of their popularity by German factories such as Dressel and Kister, Heubach, Goebel and Kestner. Later they were produced in France, America and later still, in Japan. They commonly served as handles and toppers for fabric covers made for powder boxes on ladies’ dressing tables and small brushes, however they were also made for jewellery boxes, pincushions, tea cosies and other covers. In this case, my German half-doll has romantic Eighteenth Century outfit, a fan clutched to her breast and a high powdered wig. I imagine that she would have been made for a lady’s boudoir and was most likely the topper for a powder puff, as she is only two inches in height. She has been hand painted.
The floral thimble is sterling silver and was made by silversmiths Henry Griffith and Sons in Birmingham in 1897. Henry Griffith and Sons commenced in 1850, was continued as Henry Griffith & Sons (until 1898) and later as Henry Griffith & Sons Ltd. They were well known for their manufacture of silver thimbles, and later for their silver and gold jewellery. They closed their doors in 1982. Thimble making was part of the Griffith family heritage. The father of Henry Griffith was a thimble maker and was put in charge of the thimbles departments at the beginning of his son's activity. The Griffiths became one of the leading producers of silver thimbles and were one of the only silversmiths who marked some of their thimbles with 'Sterling Silver' instead of having them hallmarked.
Belle Vue Mill, commonly known as Dewhurst’s, was built by Thomas Dewhurst in 1828. It opened in 1829 as John Dewhurst & Sons and was one of Skipton’s largest spinning and weaving mills. The mill’s position next to the Leeds Liverpool Canal meant that raw cotton could be shipped in by boats from Liverpool. Finished goods would then be sent back the same way ready for distribution. Coal to power the machine’s steam engines was also delivered by barge. In 1897 Dewhurst’s was bought by the English Sewing Cotton Co. It continued to produce Sylko, one of the mill’s most famous products. It was produced in over 500 colours and sold throughout the world. Sylko cottons are still available at haberdashers today.
Masked Bees are really quite small and proportionately they can't carry very much. So in order to have greater lading capacity they will blow nectar bubbles; the water of those bubbles will evaporate in the bright Sun leaving their nutrients for Bee's lighter and more efficient load.
Here's Hylaeus signatus on its favorite flower, Reseda lutea or Yellow Mignonette. There are lots of specific Hylaeus Bees that can be distinguished by the shape of their masks. A recent field guide to Bees gives a plate with the various shapes for identification: Veldgids Bijen voor Nederland en Vlaanderen (2017) by Steven Falk.
The left top inset has an intricate and tiny Mignonette flower; lower right the entire Bee.

Reseda, CA - Some years ago (2016) when I got my hands on a Canon 7D Mark II (which I still use to this day) I was itching to try the fast shutter speed function. I figured the local skate park was a good spot to start.
This is where I met Cameron; a talented guy with crazy hair and a 'never quit' attitude.
I took the shots while panning the camera so in post I had to stitch the background first then placed each frame of Cameron in the sequence. The final edited image you see here was just finished (2022), at the time I took these pictures in 2016 I had no idea how to process these kinds of images but figured in the future I would figure it out.

10 Items or Less is a comedy on TBS that is set in a supermarket. They film in a former Vons supermarket, which is a real grocery store called Jon's in Reseda, California. Often real customers are used as extras.
The plot centers around a guy who moves back to his hometown to run his family's grocery store. The evil rival supermarket across the street is SuperValueMart.
I noticed that the signs and the walls looked just like a 90s Safeway or Vons store.
The first time I walked into a Vons stores was 7 years ago in Anaheim. I had never heard of the chain before. I was shocked to see that it looked strangely familar. Later I realized that they were owned by Safeway.
My interests in supermarkets did not exist until a few months ago when I walked into the local Albertsons and saw that the Lucky name had indeed returned to the Bay Area.
