Let me invite you again to the "dino-expo" from the beginning of the year.
Maybe you dress up, too, and go to a party? After all it´s Saturday!
Now for some real one, I love these birds!
This is of course for...
"The Dangers of Fashion in the Victorian Era
The new green pigment was used for a variety of things, from wallpaper to candles to toys and, of course, fabrics.
Arsenic-containing dyes became very popular, but seemed to have some side effects such as ulcers, scabs, nausea, colic, diarrhea, and headaches.
There is speculation that Napoleon was poisoned by contact with arsenic-containing wallpaper that he had at home."

The countdown to Creep (I fell for a Halloween-calendar):
Welcome, #4... and mini-4?
Noooo....
Is that a mini-you, will it get color over time or is this... somebody´s brain???

I especially like the raven. It was certainly well taken care of. couldn't believe it was riding in that car.
Happy Saturday Iris,
I love all the dinosaurs, it is a cool exhibit. The raven video was great and I love the image of Henry. Cute Halloween decorations.
Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
Yes, very cute, huh!
There are still heaps of dinosaurs to share! Henry says thank you and weee for Halloween! To a great weekend.
Haha, I really thought that was a brain at first! Then those eyes gave it away, mini-you! The raven video and Henry are just perfect.
..Iris, I wish you, Ingo and Henry GREAT Saturday!
One time at an outdoor food stand my mother told us never to eat the green pickle relish because it was poison. She was so right! Green dyes weren’t just in clothing though by that time most of the problem had been taken care of.
Glad you could confirm this, LOL!
The same to you and your loved ones, Tom!
Glad green is OK now, I´d say - it´s a beautiful color...
Sometimes I wonder what it's like to have a pet dragon. Maybe dinosaur would be closest to that. But alas, both aren't possible now. Lol
I want a pet raven. Echo was too awesome.
This looks like such a fun place! I love it when you share photos from there. The boys would love it too.
I'm glad green doesn't have arsenic in it any more. :) And nice dinos. They look fun to visit. Have a great start to your weekend Iris. hugs-Erika
Hello Iris :)
What a fun post!I enjoyed seeing the exhibits of the prehistoric creatures, and the video of the raven was delightful.
Have a great weekend
All the best
Sonjia.
Enjoy That Day Off And Take An Extra Day Just Because
Relax On ,
Cheers
You wonder about the additives that we use now, Iris.
Love the dinos and your Halloween calendar.
This post made me smile, from dinos to Victorian fashion dangers, what a fun mix!

I´m kinda glad, ... I think?
The dinos look so realistic
Yes, I´d like one, too!!! Ingo´d Dad once saved a baby-bird - it learned to say his name, named his food and imitated the clock. I sadly never met him, he passed before we got together...
I can imagine the boys´d loved this! More is to come!
I like green, my wall right here is green.... Glad I don´t live in Napoleon´s time... To a great weekend, Erika, hugs!
Hi Sonjia, glad you liked it, I loved yours, too - to a great weekend!
Do the same, join me, Padre - cheers to that!
Yes, one wonders indeed, RedPat, to creatures/critters and Halloween-fun!
Thank you, I love to make people smile and learn :-)
Made with love!
Iris in answer to your question yes please, if it's not too much trouble.
The information about the dangers of Victorian fashion using arsenic-containing dyes is both creepy and historically fascinating; can you believe people wore things that caused ulcers and headaches. I hope you are having a deeply meaningful and peaceful weekend. What are you planning for tomorrow? I’ve just shared a new travel post, and I’m really excited for you to read it. How is your Saturday going?
Cool Halloween calendar. Enjoy Saturday!
Look like fun place to visit, with all those dinosaurs.
Probably for a very long while people did not connect the headaches and sores with the green colour or the arsenic. LOVE the raven. And the cute little Halloween figures. The first dinosaur with the curved horns might have been the ancestor of those mountain goats with the big curved horns.
Lovely captures of the exhibits at the dino exhibition!
Sure was :-)
If I see it again, I´ll pop over :-)
Melody, reckon they had no idea where the problems came from... calm day today!
Bill, too late - already Sunday here - have a great one!
Yep, other they´d been really stupid wearing green! I´d love to have such a clever bird, looking forward to the magpies! True, mountain goats come to mind!
Oh, you´re back! Hope you had a good time, checking :-)
Dear friend Iris, sorry this is late, the bus strike here in Montreal, (which is supposedly finished today), has been throwing me off!
I love everything here! And Henry looks so handsome! Thank you so much, dear friend, sending you many warm hugs and lots of love!
Iris you're a star:) Thank you so much, the link worked just fine, and it's a lovely sweet image of a Capibara on front of the calendar and also the cute Capibara dolls are adorable and I want one.:)
Sending hugs your way.
Great Saturday post Iris.
All the best Jan
Thank you, Jan, it was fun! (and this rhymes).
