The hats in La Divina in Blu by Boldini and Mary with a Black Hat by Tarbell, are fantastic. Two of the hats in the first advertisement, with broad rims, are also stunning.
ReplyDeleteI still look in the shops for fashionable Edwardian hats now.
Another great group. Love those college gals with their beautiful shoes and their guns pointed at themselves.
ReplyDeleteA lot to enjoy in this grab bag. I am particularly grabbed by the insouciant St. Sebastian and the wicked eyebrows of Mrs. Okuń.
ReplyDeletefabulous!
ReplyDeleteYou've given me so much pleasure. I can go to your site whenever I need to look at something beautiful or learn something new or just page through, looking at art and folly alike. (They're so closely related, aren't they?)
ReplyDeleteI know I said this before, but your frame of reference (and, I guess, of reverance, at least for beautiful things) is staggering.
Still stopping by 3,4 times a week. This one is jaw-dropping.
Golly...! Again, thank you so very much, Timothy. I so appreciate your kind, supportive words. : )
