The artist of all this body of work is Mernie Buchanan of Benicia. (www.mernie.com) She told us how she goes to art museums and copies the paintings of old masters and then she finds ornate picture frames which she also paints to frame them in.
They are colorful and fun.
This is a painting she said she did of her great grandmother.
We also visited this little antique shop I like for all it's old clothes from eras long gone.
I liked the beads on the blue dress and wondered what I could make out of them,

Loved the white lace too.
And hats. My mother wore hats, and gloves and pretty dresses and high heel shoes,
What old memories still linger in your mind today?

ReplyDeleteBoy...so many customs are all behind us now. I sometimes wonder if society will ever swing back to a formal way again. It is interesting to think about. I can't imagine it ever happening just because of all the work involved. Stern, solomn fathers I hope are definately a way of the past!!!
Oh wow all of this brings back a feeling indeed.
ReplyDeleteI love that white hat!!!! I love hats but never wear them.....
What fun to stumble upon all of this!
Oh, I can't imagine the bliss of finding this place...dreamy, vintage and yes, I love that white hat, too!
