Regency Accessories you can make in under 2 hrs || bonnet, jewelry, and reticule handbag

I'm continuing my never-ending quest of making a full regency wardrobe. This time I'm tackling more accessories - a new straw bonnet, coral necklace and a silk reticule with pearls. All these projects can be completed in just a few hours (if you hustle because you have to finish before your baby wakes up from her nap...). Most of my supplies came from my stash but it's easy to find supplies for all of these projects.
