Here are a few vingettes of some of my collections.
Ladies of the Art Nouveau era are a favorite of mine.
Lately I have been searching out beautiful antique frames and pairing them with photos of turn-of-the-century ladies, usually showgirls or other languid beauties.I especially love antique frames with a nature motif. My sister Barbara gave me this one and it is my favorite! I found a beautiful picture of Evelyn Nesbit to put in it. Evelyn was the original Gibson Girl, but in this photo she looks like a woodland nymph.
Somehow the Victorian taxidermied birds fit in really well ...
And in my lavender bedroom, more of my favorite things.
What beautiful things - you really have the knack - ! And I love the languid beauties in those great frames :-)
ReplyDeleteLove, Love, Love!!! Beautiful things, and truly lovely display! Those birds are amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog! I love your displays. I know Robin Brown personally and she is one of the sweetest people you would ever want to meet. She is a little shy at first, but when you get to know her she is fascinating! (If you have been reading the book you already know that) I have 5 of her purses and several pieces of her clothing.(about 25) I love it all! I will add you to my blog list.

Hi Diane -- you have a fabulous collection... and a tremendous sense of style. Please feel very very welcome to share it with a new (very new!) community of collectors and makers of the marvelous and unusual...
ReplyDeleteCuriosity Cabinet (http://curiositycabi.net) is a ‘social museum’ for anyone who collects or makes beautiful, absurd, individual, scientific, strange and curious things. Inspired by my obsession with wunderkammern, it is being built by a friend and me, so we’re just inviting a few people to form the core community – and hopefully give us feedback and suggestions as we slowly add more functions etc.
Would love to see you wonderful and diverse things in the Cabinet!
