The mother swan feeding her cygnets with her own blood is an ancient symbol and I hope apt for the queen who wore the gloves.<br /><br />My favorite is what is surely a lace collar. Interested in the puffed backing on the center back...does it help hold the lace up, I wonder?<br /><br />Very best, and thank you (both) for a wonderful treat,<br /><br />NatalieZipZiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04088551086336264968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7580595753456307919.post-31931567896849137502013-09-20T18:13:34.056+02:002013-09-20T18:13:34.056+02:00Deb Salisbury: I'm glad you enjoyed it!Deb Salisbury: I'm glad you enjoyed it!Isishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380497568603304818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7580595753456307919.post-88874267996899164562013-09-20T18:13:06.517+02:002013-09-20T18:13:06.517+02:00Drea: My pleasure!
