    I wish I'd lived there then. Well - except for dentistry. And plumbing. I like plumbing. And shorter dresses. I like those now. Hmmmm....why did I want to live there then? Ahhhhh......NO COMPUTERING! :)

    I think the dresses and home were gorgeous from that time, but I like plumbing too and computers and health care......but I love looking at things from that period! Thank you for the chance to win this piece of vintage goodness!

    A very interesting time in your history for sure! I think every generation has something to offer. I am unsure what will be in our future. I love all the pets you have and had in your life. They are so sweet! You always post the best vintage! Hugs Anne

    What a beautiful catalog. I love the little girl's dresses. The styles really haven't changed too much for little ones over the years. My Jessica (will be 30 in August) had a number of cute dresses very similar to these when she was a "wee one". Hope that you are having a beautiful day! ((Hugs))

    Good Morning Coralie Sweetie...
    Oh please, please put me into this drawing. I am SO over the top thrilled. It is absolutely perfect for scanning. I just recently got into ATC cards and I love these photos inside. Oh my gosh sweet friend, I am tickled you are having this giveaway, but can't believe you are parting with it.

    Wouldn't this make wonderful paper dolls as well? What fun I could have with this beautiful catalog, oh my thank you for the wonderful opportunity.

    Many hugs and so much love, Sherry

    P.S. Besty Belle and Bonnie said they too, think it should come to Phoenix. Love ya.

    What a kindness, and marvel! I have some originals of French newspapers which I like, but it is normal for one fan of victorian time period ;-)...

    Beautiful day

    The Victoria era is a close second for me behind the mid-20th century as my favourite of all time from a fashion standpoint.

    There was so much elegance and grace, allure and skillful tailoring that went into the immortally wonderful looks of those days and I know a catalog like this would provide me with reams of wonderful yesteryear fashion inspiration.

    Thank you for holding this giveaway, sweet dear!


    Big hugs & joyful Tuesday wishes,
