Lucky Dip

So sorry this has taken soooo long, but I've been soooo busy. Plus my Fridays - Lucky Dip was originally a Friday thing - have gotten all kinda crazy.

Nevertheless, on to the you came for.

Today's collection is Victorian womanhood:

 

 It's time - get it - 'time' (ha ha) to see some maahvelous Victorian/Edwardian ladies and a goofy gent wearing pink socks marking time for you.

                       A VERY impressive addition to your cigar lounge decor, no? (Yes.)

It's interesting that advertisers used pretty ladies to advertise tobacco back when it was considered very bad form for a woman to smoke. 

When automobiles became a thing, a lot of the advertising for that included pretty ladies, although at the time - and for some time to come - nearly all driving was done by men. 

Anyhoo, get that very fabulous tapestry here: www.zazzle.com/1890s_old_virginia_cheroots_ad_tapestry-256382602897298054

              A stock character in Victorian theatre was the sharp-tongued dowager/old maid. 

Get her - and the necktie she's on - here: www.zazzle.com/the_tough_chick_neck_tie-151463502561158575

Found in one of the Victorian books I got at the Goodwill Outlet (see my August 18 post).  The print is titled 'The Model.'

She's shown here on a throw blanket.  Something VERY neato for the Victorian decor!

Next we go back to random items.  That's if I don't get jury duty.  (Yeah, I got a summons.)
