Vintage fashion inspiration.......

   Oh how I adore the sleepwear and loungewear styles of the twentieth century, especially the fifties and early sixties as I can remember what the ladies in my family wore.  Nipped waists on the robes, housecoats to wear when cooking and cleaning, pretty bits of lace on the nighttime lingerie and peignoir sets......when the woman's role as homemaker and mother were an honored profession as they should be.  Women liked dressing like women, and that meant looking and feeling feminine all hours of the day and night.

What is true love?

What is true love?

  I have always loved reading the Song of Solomon.  It is such a lovely expression of what godly love is, illustrating God's description of perfect love between a man and woman as it is mirrored in God's relationship with each of us....the purest form of devotion, adoration, and trust.

Spotlight on Venise lace.........
