I have an awful feeling that I’m about unleash the power of the Roaring Twenties upon my unsuspecting followers.

Can you imagine seeing a woman suddenly appear in the doorway wearing this gown? Floating like a fae clothed in her gossamer dragonfly wing gown? Pearls and sequins like dew drops littering a flower petal bodice.

Oh pets I’m afraid I have some awful news. Well awful for you but rather cheerful for me! I’m moving flats tomorrow! Sadly I won’t have internet for a few days ;{
To cheer you up I’ve left you with a beautiful theme for tomorrow.
I’ve picked my favorite love stories and re-created them. There is dark and grim combined with delicate lace and floral antiques. The macabre surrounded by whispers of chiffon. Guinevere and her jewels, Juliet and her dagger. I’ve taken one photo and built a theme to create a visual story.
It’s unusual and glorious. A mixture of the old clashing with the new.
I hope you enjoy.
