Tenney got a bed!

I’ve been imagining using Molly’s Jenny Lind bed for Tenney for years.

When this beautiful handmade quilt came into my life I thought it would be perfect for her.

I made the stripe pillow from a Kirsten mattress that had been almost totally destroyed. The green pillow came with the quilt.

I feel honored to take care of this quilt for whomever it was originally made for ❤️

REBECCA FERGUSON as JENNY LIND in The Greatest Showman.

Johanna Maria "Jenny" Lind (6 October 1820 – 2 November 1887) was a Swedish opera singer, often called the "Swedish Nightingale". One of the most highly regarded singers of the 19th century, she performed in soprano roles in opera in Sweden and across Europe, and undertook an extraordinarily popular concert tour of the United States beginning in 1850. She was a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Music from 1840.

Lind became famous after her performance in Der Freischütz in Sweden in 1838. Within a few years, she had suffered vocal damage, but the singing teacher Manuel García saved her voice. She was in great demand in opera roles throughout Sweden and northern Europe during the 1840s, and was closely associated with Felix Mendelssohn. After two acclaimed seasons in London, she announced her retirement from opera at the age of 29.

In 1850, Lind went to America at the invitation of the showman P. T. Barnum. She gave 93 large-scale concerts for him and then continued to tour under her own management. She earned more than $350,000 (equivalent to $11,400,200 in 2021) from these concerts, donating the proceeds to charities, principally the endowment of free schools in Sweden. With her new husband, Otto Goldschmidt, she returned to Europe in 1852, where she had three children and gave occasional concerts over the next three decades, settling in England in 1855. From 1882, for some years, she was a professor of singing at the Royal College of Music in London.

Jenny Lind style fan, mid 19th century. 

Jenny Lind was an opera singer who toured in the United States in the 1850s. Jenny gave free concerts for poor families and was famous -- even before she reached the United States -- for giving most of her earnings to charities. Once she arrived in New York, she became a sensation. She was promoted by PT Barnum, who sold tickets to her shows at auction. One of them went for the then staggering sum of $225. "Lind Mania" swept the country and anything "Jenny Lind" sold like hotcakes. Hotel maids sold strands of her hair they claimed to have found after she checked out of her room room. Vendors sold souvenirs, such as gloves and fans. The style of bed she supposedly slept in -- wood with turned spindles -- still sells today!
