I've always been fascinated by chatelaines, which were worn at the waist of ladies of the manors, from which dangled by chains watches, scissors, keys, and the necessary acoutrements for running the household. The green is an homage to St. Patrick's Day!! Credits to Playing with Brushes for the background (with an overlay of a googled manor), and the lady is from a page of paper dolls at Flickr Collage Images.
