Vintage Thursday - Alphonse Mucha - Art Nouveau

Hello everyone,

For the first Vintage Thursday of 2014 I thought I would share with you this Art Nouveau advert for French biscuits. Isn't it just beautiful? The advert is by Alfons Maria Mucha (also known as Alphonse Mucha) who was a Czech painter artist. He was born in 1860 and died in 1939. This lithograph is typical of Mucha's work as it depicts a beautiful female with long flowing hair and loosely draped Neo-Classical style robes/ dress.

Hope you enjoyed this advert as much I have.

Beautiful vintage advert - Vintage slips

Hello everyone,

Trying to blog a little more regularly as I would love to see my blog grow and become more popular and blogging is something I really enjoy doing. I have had a busy few weeks buying more items for the craft and vintage fairs which I have coming up and also making more items for my shop and also for my stall. It has been super busy so I am looking forwards to Easter which I can relax a little.

At the moment I am really into vintage fashion and looking at different clothing which was worn in the past so today I thought I would share with you this beautiful vintage advertisement for a ladies slip. The ad is rather beautiful and doesn't she look so glamorous even in just a slip!?!
