Paisley is a scottish town as well as a fabric pattern

I was born in Paisley. About 10 miles from Glasgow.
The Paisley pattern was woven in Paisley in the 1800s, with over 5,000 weavers at one point. One of their original cottages survives today. The 'teardrop' shape goes back 2,000 years to Persia, although it was brought to the UK in the 1700s, when colonial soldiers brought them back from India. These were based on an Indian Mughal design. The East India company imported them in the 1800s. They were de rigeur for monied ladies in the beginning, woven from cashmere from The Himalayas and then from cotton and silk.
What a lot of people don't know is that these shawls were huge, some 12' x 6' and sometimes bigger. They had to be this size to wrap around the ladies and keep them warm. Paisley weavers were working with 5 colours at a time when most weavers were working with 2, they later worked with 9. and it took a week to make a shawl. The colours in mine are predominantly black and orange. In earlier years I wore it as it was meant to be worn, so nonchalant about an expensive item, bought for me at auction by my ex husband.
I take great pride in my heritage, both my paternal grandprents each worked in the mills (by then producing cotton thread) for 50 years. It enrages me when it is criticised for being run down. Everyone in Paisley at some time had a family member who worked in the mills, they employed thousands of people. I wish my grandmother had lived to see the Anchor Mill, turned into expensive apartments, with the penthouses selling for £200,000+, she would have been scathing. Not an easy way to earn your living. Sorry to spoil the tone,
mine's going in me coffin, although not for some time yet 
They were also woven at one point in France. End of lecture.
well now I know don't I? hahahaaaa.
very interesting though, I like large shawls, very comforting. I'm one for throws too.
Going in your coffin?? I shouldn't think it'll be cold there! 
Sorry Von, that is one beautiful family photo. Very interesting name - do you know what her siblings are called?
Friend just had another grandchild, named Reuben. I like that.
As for the CG 
Are you insinuating I'm going down the way to the hot place and not up there ^^^^ with me harp and all?, lol. Can't leave it to anyone without causing a rammy - so I'll take it with me 
l leave it to me and I'll take care of it Rainy! I love orange.
you can leave me your garden too that's beautiful as well!!!
oh and yer wig and I can go out in disguise!!!
You never know CB
You can have the garden if you buy the house, but the wig is yours. My hair is growing in now, but baby soft, and curls so tight it looks like a perm gone wrong. It will straighten out as it grown. I've had long hair for decades, strange to feel the wind on the back of my neck! ** want my hair back **
