This charming
French Postcard shows
2 young Girls with
Fancy Costumes! They appear to be
Flower Sellers. On a personal note, I'm struck by the
resemblance of the one on the left to a
friend of mine that I went high school with. Mary, aka
Elena Maria Vidal, is a
French Historian with French roots. I can't help wondering if this young girl may have been an ancestor of hers! Anyway, if you have an interest in French History, particularly
Marie Antoinette, then pop over to her site for a visit! You can find her at
Tea at Trianon.
Those poor girls don't look particularly thrilled to be posing in their charming costumes, do they?! They look like sisters to me--quite a strong resemblance in their noses and jawlines.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, the dresses! That one on the right is fabulous! :-D
ReplyDeleteLove it!! There expressions are too cute...like someone made them dress and pose. Reminds me of when my mom would make me wear terrible outfits and pose for the camera when I was young. :)

ReplyDeleteThank you, Karen, that is so sweet of you to think of me!! I am honored and yes the girl does look like me when I was a teenager!!
ReplyDeleteI love these Victorian flower girls. They are over the top. That's so great that you still keep in touch with your friend who looks like the gal on the left, and who I see has replied to you just above my comment. Heeeeheeeheee! How fun. Happy Friday, everyone!
ReplyDeleteThank you Karen for these beautiful designs.
