Favorites and Blog-anniversaire Giveaway Winner

1789 Vigee-LeBrun "Portrait of a Lady"

I could spend all day everyday working on things for my wedding, and still it feels like I never get to check off more on my list than I put on. Still, I have time to post this portrait for your enjoyment. I love the way the artist has shown the sheer striped fabric. The simplicity of her elegant pearl drop earrings and large bow- delightful. Blue and white is a colour combination that never goes out of fashion. Someday I should make a dress based on this portrait.

I also have time to announce that Abby, at Stay-ing Alive is the winner of the Blog-anniversaire giveaway. Abby, please contact me within 14 days to claim your fan and postcard, and thanks so much for visiting!
