Charles Lewis Tiffany (February 15, 1812 – February 18, 1902) was an American businessman and jeweler who founded New York City's Tiffany & Co. in 1837.

Known for his jewelry expertise, Tiffany created the country's first retail catalog and introduced the English standard of sterling silver in imported jewelry in 1851.

Louis Comfort Tiffany (February 18, 1848 – January 17, 1933) was an American artist and designer who worked in the decorative arts and is best known for his work in stained glass.

He is associated with the art nouveau and aesthetic art movements.

In reviewing my personal quilting tag, I realized I never posted photos of my Tiffany appliqué quilt, based on the window "Magnolias and Irises" in the Met's collection.

This was the first large-scale attempt at a project of this type, and while I'm overall pleased with the result, there are definitely things I would do differently were I to attempt something like this again (starting with using a machine with a much better satin stitch...)

Rosehill Mausoleum stained glass windows

Rosehill Cemetery, Chicago, Illinois

There are about 38 Tiffany stained glass windows in the individual crypts of Rosehill Mausoleum, most of them commissioned between 1912 and 1930, according to Jack L. Bradley (the mausoleum opened in 1914). There is an online census of them here. From time to time, on my visits to the mausoleum, I photograph several of the windows.

I always thought that (before the tv show went and said otherwise 🫠) that the reason chucky kidnapped Sarah wasn't because of a love obsession, but rather so he could kidnap sarah's baby once she was born—that maybe chucky and tiffany had been planning on being parents, but for some reason they couldn't (like maybe tiffany was having fertility issues when she was human, but then the moment she became a doll in bride she was able to get pregnant super easily, unbeknownst to the two of them of course) so the next step in desperation was to kidnap a baby

Which would have made all the nica and tiffany stuff even more fucked up honestly, so maybe it's for the best they didn't go that route, but still, it would have been interesting prior to the TV show coming out.
