Thought all our Tapestry peeps would get a kick out of this. Just what is she holding and doing???

I love those little details you stumble upon while traveling...like an antique embroidery of a woman texting on her phone.

Spotted in Kilkenny Castle's parlor, this embroidery fills a screen that genteel women of the day would strategically position between their face and the roaring fire. Back then, a pale, unblemished complexion was considered the pinnacle of beauty; only common folk were tanned and rosy. This screen allowed fancy ladies to enjoy the fire's heat without getting flushed cheeks.

Obviously, this woman is *not* doomscrolling on her phone (despite her sour expression). But once you've seen it...you can't unsee it.

(What *is* she doing? See if you can tell. The answer is below.)

Take a closer look: She's holding a cup of tea and a saucer. Or maybe she really was just far, far ahead of her time.
