Ahh no! Hope you didn't sell anything as pretty and cool as the stuff showed here!Eleonora Amaliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09396687138421644804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1544576995054534446.post-48517380562427298572013-10-26T22:39:49.021-07:002013-10-26T22:39:49.021-07:00Ha!

I can be my own mourning lineup for a fashion show. LOL!

I got it off of ebay years ago and then found another one here in town that I gave to a lovely friend! If you want me to take some close ups for you I totally can do that! My eventual goal is to have a mourning dress in every silhouette! I have a late bustle and NFE....Now I just need what...7? Hahahaha...sigh....I really love Victorian Mourning. It is so very neat and in my opinion, made the time of mourning a very personal thing. <br /><br />Blessings!<br /><br />gGinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14345391863552645466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1544576995054534446.post-56613344865788959572013-10-26T21:13:57.523-07:002013-10-26T21:13:57.523-07:00Hi Eleonora!
Thank you so much!! I just love an...Hi Eleonora! <br /><br />Thank you so much!! I just love antique mourning things...those ladies really made mourning beautiful..if such a thing could be said. They had a mourning "thing" for every normal day thing I do believe! I had so much more in my collection and for some stupid reason felt the need to sell some of it!! ACK!!! I'm with you, I was so shocked when the shoes were so cheap!! Goodness gracious!! <br /><br />Blessings!<br /><br />GinaGinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14345391863552645466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1544576995054534446.post-79118318358390199192013-10-26T18:39:14.389-07:002013-10-26T18:39:14.389-07:00I love your handkerchief purse.

I saw one just like it in a display on Lisa's Victorian Mourning page and fell in love with it. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151254368470563&set=pb.273627150562.-2207520000.1382837763.&type=3&theater I posted a link to it and someone else said that was her's and she had loaned it for the display. I asked her for any other photos as I wanted to make one but never heard back from her. I never knew one was for sale. I bought some plastic rings and fabric to make one but don't know how to do the "crocheting" around the rings. I'm jealous. <br />Loved reading about all your research. I've had fun doing mine. <br />ValTime Traveling in Costumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02353351035426201805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1544576995054534446.post-8261258121117657242013-10-24T13:14:40.824-07:002013-10-24T13:14:40.824-07:00Aaah, so many gorgeous things!

Your die-cut memorial thingy (it's pretty scary, though the "evil creautre" made me laugh) and ambrotypes seem to be most interesting. You're soo lucky to have them! And I still can't believe those shoes were that cheap!Eleonora Amaliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09396687138421644804noreply@blogger.com
