Thanks Darhling, I am obsessed with day dresses latley. I forgot about this hat. I can't tell if it's 30's or 50's and it's hatrd to see with my dark hair.
Darhling said:^ have you ever posted your amazing hat collection?! And you make some hats yourself right? is it hard, what tools is required?

What a gorgeous early macrame bag!Adele said:I seriously love your dress, gingermore.
Latest purchase:
It's from the Edwardian era, and it's currently the oldest thing I own - unless you count the grammar book from 1912. I have to clean it, as it is a little dirty, but I'm not so certain on how to go about it.

If it is all fabric, with no metal anywhere (and it probably is all fabric) you can clean it with this same method I used for my white embroidered Spanish shawl:
Take a jar big enough to put the item in loosely
Fill halfway with warm water and a bunch of Ivory snow, shake to mix
Add the item, and add more water to cover if necessary, shake
Let it sit overnight
Rinse thoroughly and dry flat away from the sun
It works really well and doesn't stress embroidery, stitching etc.
Another one of my bits of cleaning info, I don't know why but my brain seems to remember every cleaning tip I ever read.

But, with the Queen Mary coming up, I am putting together an outfit around a multicolor scarf I have (that has all the 1930s ocean liners on it), also a multicolor button and buckle set. I am making a white pique dress to wear it all with (the muslin is cut out!), and when I saw this purse, I had to Buy It Now...
Wish I had a pair of those multicolored 30s shoes to wear it with...
