  6. Love this type of necktie! Or cravate? I remember this being called so by my grandmother!
    We have a family portrait of my great grandfather, just like that! Above!
    There is something to be said about 19th century male fashion!!!

  7. JWC- will take a peek there. I do love it too-but most any period will do. I am just fascinated with it all.

    Julia, Kristin- thank you and it is fun to do- and keeps my little grey cells charged.

  8. Barbara at Dog Eared- I do like this myself. The designs here were I think very appealing and smart-I like that. and of course the cravats did not hurt in my fondness for them.

    Barbara at Time- It is what we do love-isn't it. Making sense of it all and you do it best of all.
