We can't travel back through time, but we can take a nostalgic journey into the past via the memorabilia we collect of that time.
Oh to have been born in the Victorian or Edwardian era (a lady of course) although I do live in an Edwardian house, built in 1910.
The Edwardian Ladies are painted on silk and so beautifully dressed
I embroidered them with fine silk thread and had them framed.
Their elegant dresses are so beautful I am also taking tea with my very Royal Victorian ladies.
The lady on the right I made from the top of an Avon purfume bottle and dressed her with vintage lace which I dyed.
The one on the left I made from a Judith and Kathryn silk print and dressed her with vintage silk and lace.
The centre most beautiful, is made of porcelaine sitting on a porcelaine chair.
I dressed her in dyed lace and velvet and covered her chair with green velvet.
What era would you have liked to have been born into?
I hope you all have a lovely weekend xx

Hi Jeanetteann,
All your ladies are quite lovely. They look stunning in their beautiful gowns that you've made for them. I love big, pretty, puffy, princess style dresses so any era that had them would be the era for me :-) Wishing you a wonderful weekend.
Hugs and Kisses,
♥Ana
You speaking my language here, Jeanetteann! This is so very much my era, too - ladies being ladies - femininity in fashion!
Fascinated by your framed picture - this is a needlework that you did? Beautiful! And, the dolls are scrumptious! An elegant and "lady-like" display, to be sure!
Joy!
Kathy
Oh I share your love! My favorite era of jewelry is the Edwardian period.
