Tag Tuesday

The Theme this week

for Tag Tuesday is

 "Black and White"

I had some clip art that I thought

 would be perfect for this theme.

The small print on the advertisements

in the background on the tag

are about the "fashionable bustle"

and how it was to be worn! 

The era for this kind of fashion

was after the Civil War. 

Women had stopped wearing

the hoop petticoats by then

but were still tied up in

whale bone reinforced corsets!

 Fashion was not something to

be enjoyed but to be endured!

The pin that I inserted on the side of

the tag was one from a corsage

that I received a long time ago! 

The piece of lace came from one

of my daughter's dresses that she 

outgrew several years ago!

So from the past history to my history,

I was able to make a tag that would have

 it's own sentimental value someday

from the small accessories that I used

that were worn in our era of fashion.

One day, maybe,

my daughter's might think this tag 

 is quite valuable enough to keep

 for their daughters, to tell them of

the small piece of lace that used to

adorn the dress they both wore.

My Entry:

Thank you for looking at my art work. 

 Please come back and visit me again!

  Have a very pleasant day!
