LE PETIT CABINET DE CURIOSITES

Inspiration for halloween ...

Should I choose some antique pieces from my shop to dress up for halloween ! I have some ideas, what do you think about them ??

 

should I hide my mouth with a beautiful XVIII th century fan ?

 

lace of ivory from one of the fan ! It is so delicate

 

a gentleman on my fan

then I've thought about a sophisticated purse ...I could dress up like a marquise or a " dame de qualité " or may be a princess

 

Or should I use this piece ?

Let's discover it

lace .....

"I consider lace to be one of the prettiest imitations ever made of the fantasy of nature; lace always evokes for me those incomparable designs which the branches and leaves of trees embroider across the sky, and I do not think that any invention of the human spirit could have a more graceful or precise origin." 

Coco Chanel, April 29, 1939
