French Rouge Beauties
“Love and red rose can't be hid.” - Charles Holcroft (English dramatist, miscellanist, poet, novelist and translator).
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 14th of March is "red on a white background". A fortnight ago, the theme for "Smile on Saturday" was a guessing game, and I used a photo of a corner of a rich red velvet rose as my choice. This week for "Looking Close on Friday" I am using the same rose, and a second, for the theme. Both velvet roses are vintage pieces, made in France in the 1920s, which I acquired from a former milliner who was selling all her excess stock. As a collector of vintage haberdashery, it will probably come as no surprise that I left with two bags full of beautiful and interesting fabrics and trims. I hope you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile!
