Best one of the three, so cool to read about the process! And that picture of her at the track, appliqued ensemble, basket bag & a smoke....nice. Love the pic of Liz, too....I've never seen a short sleeved HBC!

Me either. The last blog is going to be on Thursday and it will be family pictures that were provided by Jenifer, her great niece. She has been wonderful to work with.

That picture of her is the best! I want to pose like all the time in random places for no reason. :D Nice work!

What wonderful reading, Viviene! Such great info, too--thanks for sharing this with us.

That sweater with the roses and peacocks (?) is going to be in my dreams tonight...

The last blog will have lots of pictures of Mrs. Carruthers from young to old. What I love are the pictures from the races and all the really gorgeous hats.

Have you posted the hat pics yet?

 

[borntoolatevintage]

Not yet Chris. I'll be doing the fourth blog on Thursday.

A little treat from the family pictures:

Jesse Lillard Bond Boulton (Helen's sister) at the Derby—note the hat; it made the paper(comment from Jenifer)
