For Looking Close…on Friday theme of Headwear, here’s Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm doll by Madame Alexander.
“If you're blue and you don't know where to go to
Why don't you go where fashion sits?
Puttin' on the ritz.”
Opening lyrics from “Puttin’ on the Ritz” - written by Irving Berlin, 1930.
The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 14th of January is “shoes with laces”. These black and white 1920s style dress shoes were made for me some twenty years or more ago, for a roaring 20s fancy dress party, by the now defunct company Griffin of Melbourne, who specialised in 1920s and 1930s inspired couture clothing and shoes. They seemed to be the perfect fit for the theme! I do hope that you like my choice, and that this photograph makes you smile!
It was recently my birthday, and a very dear friend who enjoys photography as much as I do, and knows that I collect beautiful and vintage pieces, gave me a wonderful selection of antique ribbons, buttons, buckles, lace and other fine notions. She gave me these in three beautiful tins, including this octagonal tin covered in Edwardian beauties. The tine may be old and battered, but I think those imperfections add to the tin’s beauty. It tells a story of being well used and well loved.
How apt it is then that a few weeks after I was given this wonderful tin full of ribbons, buttons, buckles, lace and fine notions, Maria announced the theme for “Looking Close… on Friday!” for October 20th, as “old boxes”, which is derived from my suggestion of “old, antique or vintage”. This theme also includes old tins. I knew immediately which tin I wanted to photograph.
Thank you for making my suggestion into a wonderfully fun theme this week, Maria. I hope you all like my image for the theme this week, and that it makes you smile.

Our family has always loved Janosch's Tiger and Bear stories. So one year I painted some scenes of this book "Oh wie schön ist Panama" on Easter eggs.
Here are three of them.

The painted blown egg in front was a present given by my brother and sister-in-law. The egg on the left was blown and painted by my daughter many years ago.
For Looking Close...on Friday's theme "eggs in black and white"
The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 27th of May is “blue and green”. This was a wonderful challenge as there were so many possibilities. I contemplated pieces of blue and green porcelain, blue and green glass, blue and green fabric, but in the end I settled on blue and green guilloché enamel. I chose an English guilloché enamel and sterling silver button made in 1911 and a French guilloché enamel and pearl gold stick pin. Guilloché is a decorative technique in which a very precise, intricate and repetitive pattern is mechanically engraved into an underlying material via engine turning, which uses a machine of the same name, also called a rose engine lathe. This mechanical technique improved on more time-consuming designs achieved by hand and allowed for greater delicacy, precision, and closeness of line, as well as greater speed. Translucent enamel was applied over guilloché metal by Peter Carl Fabergé on the Faberge eggs and other pieces from the 1880s. I hope you like my choice for the theme this week, and that it makes you smile.
This peacock blue guilloché enamel and sterling silver button was made in Birmingham by James Fenton and Company in 1911. It is one of six small buttons, two long hatpins and belt buckle, all made of silver with the same peacock blue guilloche enamel, presented in a blue leather presentation box with gilt tooling. James Fenton and Company, was a Birmingham silvermakers between 1854 and 1956. They were well known for their manufacture of silver and gold thimbles and later silver and enamel jewellery.
This French made Art Nouveau (circa 1905) lapel stick pin of flowers and leaves is made of 18 carat rose gold, and features seven seed pearls and six beautiful vibrant green guilloché enamel leaves on rose gold backings in a dainty filigree setting measuring just over a centimetre in diameter. With its curling foliage, it represents the delicate and elegant style of the Belle Epoque. The maker is unknown.
Miniature perfume bottle’s that I have had for years. These are the prettiest and unusual little designs. The golden one is a Salvador Dalí inspired design. If you look close (that’s the point), you can see what looks like a silhouette of a woman’s body. The cap is also a reminder of Mr. Dalí.
The flag halyard has been secured by belaying it.
