Playing Tricks With Your Eyes
How about these trompe loeil creations? My favorite trick was done exactly right in 1952 by Hermés.

Gab with me, why don't you?

wow! Simply wow! Wish I could copy that trick!
Becky–you with paint? Beading?
I should really get on collecting trompe l’oeil since all of my current themes bore me and this one is always intriguing to me.
However, I’m in a bit of a holding pattern as far as accumulating more stuff. More things need to go out before anything else comes in around here.
Get a load of those waist lines. I would wear the dress in photo #4 now. All are so very fun. So great to see. You always unearth the best. Hope you are having a good summer thus far. My blogging has been so sporadic, wish it were due to fabulous vacations, but so not. Such is life!

Deb–glad you’re having a good summer. I’m enjoying it, too, though no vacations for me except a few out of town jaunts. Trying to keep up some kind of semblance of order around here and I’m totally with you on the sporadic-ness of blogging. Maybe I need to write my blog from an iPhone so that I can be outside while doing it. Good to see you!!
Hey Holl! Great idea!! Heres a cute trompe loeil tee from Dior I thought you might like.
