  1. 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.

    I still look in the shops for fashionable Edwardian hats now.

  2. Another great group. Love those college gals with their beautiful shoes and their guns pointed at themselves.

  3. A lot to enjoy in this grab bag. I am particularly grabbed by the insouciant St. Sebastian and the wicked eyebrows of Mrs. Okuń.

  4. You'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?)

    I 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.
