A nice way to get lost for a few hours. <br />Let's hope that things can continue to open up a bit more. I am looking forward to feeling brave enough to go to my favourite tea and cake place for lunch. It was always a treat - not a regular haunt - but it is very missed.<br />Yes, Japanese / English can be Gina-Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14640906981065529894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29820341.post-16024714702320825472021-05-12T23:11:25.088+01:002021-05-12T23:11:25.088+01:00Magazine project half way - all looked at, pages f...Magazine project half way - all looked at, pages for copying set aside (with the rest of the magazine, of course), and the very few I want to keep back up in the cupboard - could not give up the 1916 Vogues! The most splendid colour automobile ads and the cutest line drawings of utterly fetching hats and such. Next step copying the wanted articles, and here is the core and the source of this Spideyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14350018553919112752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29820341.post-54632087199176494952021-05-09T12:11:55.815+01:002021-05-09T12:11:55.815+01:00Oh thank you!

Those two how's being matching with such incredible embroidery, I wonder if instead they are models - wearing something from a couture house as advertising. We all know artist models were seen as lower, perhaps then so we're the first catwalk ones?

I'm curious about the statement that machine made crochet was used for these balls - as far as I know there has never been a machine that can replicate crochet, so I'd love to know if I'm wrong.<br />Sarah Rnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29820341.post-58194759078100121142021-05-09T01:33:57.851+01:002021-05-09T01:33:57.851+01:00Hi, sweetie!

And I do hope it filled up!<br />Love this autopsy -glad to know what the innards are. I think I'll use felt - easy to cut and control. I'm not really certain about the "Ladies" with dangly pearls - wonder if it might be one of those urban legends?Spideyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14350018553919112752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29820341.post-91593407058493146962021-05-08T08:43:52.984+01:002021-05-08T08:43:52.984+01:00Thank you for doing this research.
