taking another look

Happy weekend everyone! i hope you pack a lot of fun into that extra hour we all get tomorrow! our OKL sale is up this morning and i’m shooting some of my faves one last time while i’ve got the chance. everything seems different once i know they may leave my life! these ladies have been hanging in my boudoir for the past few weeks.  the strawberry blond reminds me me of my niece and her pretty red hair.

i’m leafing through the old magazines and ephemera again and am coming across such sweet images

have we changed so much?

one of the most fun articles is on observing ways people hold everthing from their hands to their smokes to their purses!

we’re looking at the engravings and paintings as they hang for one final day.  this is one of my favorites. it’s a split screen image of a wall for a chateau. hard to believe people drew all these designs by hand.

they decorated every inch and nook and cranny to create alcoves and cover walls, ceilings and doors.  as always i wonder, where did the ideas come from?

well i’ll ponder that later. for now we’re off to get some breakfast. have a beautiful day!
