1882 Harper's Bazar
Today I have five images from the 1882 Harper's Bazar bound book I wrote about yesterday. I am totally in love with the clothing from this year. The styles are exquisite. Each of the drawings are quite detailed. So be sure to enlarge them in order to see all the features.
I love the parosol and fan in these two images.
I imagine wearing a bustle would be quite uncomfortable. Not to mention the corset. No wonder woman were so frail and had ailments back then( At least it looks that way from the ads. lol.).

The Search for Treasure
Every week, I search for treasures for my artwork and to share on my blogs. Here is a glimpse into my local flea market.
It is filled with antiques. This week was amazing as many of the vendors were on their way to Brimfield for the huge antiques market week.
Since it was Mother's Day I spent a lot more than usual. This week I got lots of treasures; antique buttons, post cards of NYC at night from the twenties, six magazines from 1892 filled with colored plates and a half year bound book of Harper's Bazar from 1882. So keep an eye out for these and more.
