  1. Lovely! I love the B necklace! Can’t wait for Jane next week!

  2. Call me a stickler for small details-I love these figures -but they didnt wear rings on their middle fingers at that time.

  3. I am a stickler for the same thing! Every time I see a Tudor-era movie, and I see those rings on those middle fingers…URGH.

    They thought the middle finger was “dirty.” They NEVER wore rings on that finger!

  4. I like this picture of Anne playing the lute.In real life Anne was supposed to have owned a six stringed lute and performed her own sonnet and masque.But unfortunately the sonnet and masque have been lost.Anne Boleyn excelled most of the ladies at the court at the time in more ways than one.
