Ivory, Lace and Tarnished Silver




Funny, when your eye is attuned to a certain pallette, you start to see it everywhere...



Valentino's collection was my favorite this year as far as workmanship...


All beaded and embroidered by hand...


Love these shoes...


The hint of this embroidered vest...


And the image of the gloves that all the models wore, all in a row...


*sigh*

Happy weekend everyone!

  8. And the shoes look remarkably comfortable, too.

    I've also noticed that when you've been thinking about something it pops up everywhere you turn...

  9. Funny how that works. Seeing what we never saw before is merely paying attention better isn't it? Valentino has such a beautiful Spring collection. I can "see" your stitching fingers itching...

  21. Oh my. I love these gowns. I used to make wedding gowns and there is such a lot of work that you put in them, especially if they are beaded. I once made a gown that I sewed 13,000 beads on and I thought it was a lot...but these masterpieces are incredible. I love your site!

It's always a happy day when I see that you've stopped by and left a note. Thanks for taking the time to send me your beautiful thoughts. I try to comment back when life isn't too hectic and when Blogger has your email.

Have a wonder-filled life!
