Tidbits : Flickr Favourites

Coming weeks my flickr favorites will frequently be of traditional costumes, which is my great (collection) passion. I'll start with the oldest remaining traditional costume of The Netherlands: Marken in Holland. Lots of details of this costume date back to the Middle Ages.

For more flickr favourites see ArtMind's blog.

And two pictures from my own collection. The first picture shows a chintz girl's cap from Marken. The second one shows a postcard depicting a girl from Marken from around 1910. Personally, I think the Marken costume is the most prettiest one of all Dutch costumes.

Hats : Secret Spring Swap

The European Street Team organized a secret spring swap last month and now my spring swap partner davir has received her parcel, I thought I could show you part of it. I don't show here the bag and the bracelet I sent, being models I made and showed here before, but give you a glance of my new hat / cap model. I think it's sportive, but in the same time romantic and feminine; the elastic in the neck of the back makes that it fits lots of head sizes. I made it in green because that is davir's favourite colour, and I liked the strawberry fabric so much !


I like the model very much; what do you think ?
