I embellished the photo with scraps of Victorian-like trims and
framed it in an antique stained ornate frame.
The photo is the focal point of this Victorian inspired vignette.
A vintage lace tablecloth is the base for the pair of Victorian boots with a millinery flower
and ostrich feather nestled in their tops.
Crocheted gloves and vintage millinery flower accent the front of photo.
The backdrop is a vintage "Mr John" hatbox and
lovely Victorian Hat.
One other requirement was to take my picture with the project I made. Only for a party would I wear that hat or maybe for tea. I'm having fun joining you from sunny California.
