Freebies - Currier & Ives Beauties

Thought I would do something
frivolous this week for my
freebies. I have a fondness for
Currier & Ives prints.
All of these were done before
1847. They give you the
idea of what was in fashion
and what was considered
beautiful then. I am so
glad we do not have to
wear our hair like that
any more. However, I do enjoy
putting my hair up in a bun.
I also would not mind some of
the jewelry they wore back then.
Just saying...

    Hello Elizabeth
    I've just become your newest follower! I arrived at your blog via Patty of Magpies Nest!

    I have a darling granddaughter in France named Stella Rose! I smiled when I saw your sons new puppy of the same name!

    I've had a lovely wander through your blog with my coffee this morning Elizabeth!
    I've picked up two beautiful children's images for my collage - thank you so much.

    I would love you to pop over and say hello to me too one day and I'll get out my prettiest teacups and make you very welcome!

    hugs
    Shane in New Zealand
