four beauties...

I'm not sure why but all of a sudden I have had a flurry of orders for paper and wallpaper packs from the appleseed shop. Usually the orders are regular and steady and therefore easy to keep on top of. However I have suddenly found myself rather low on stock and have spent the last few evenings making up 'new' old packs.

I tend to get sidetracked when it comes to sorting through my box of old photos....and certain photos,like the one above never end up in the packs. They go into a special pile just for me - I'm not sure what for but there are some images that I just can't part with.This photo has nothing written on it so I'm not sure of where or when it was taken- it came in a box of old photos from the US that I 'won' on Ebay a while back.
I just love the beautiful hair with the flowers and the print on their dresses is amazing.

Oh, and the greatest thing about the recent influx of orders,( besides the obvious of course....) - I get to hit the op shops again to search for more old paper!  All hard work at this end......

That's great news that you are so busy...and what a great excuse to hit the shops! Love this photo, makes me wonder who they were and what they were so beautifully dressed for.

Hello!

congratulations for your web,its very interesting.

Excuse me for my bad english,i hope you can understand me.

I live in Valencia (Spain) and the typical dress here is very similar like these(fallera dress),but not the hair (here its like Leia Princes in star Wars),for this Im not sure.
In the 1920´s in Europe,people like very much the oriental things,and its possible to the dress have oriental simbols.

i found these in google:
