The fanciest couple

The Westons visiting the Paris Salon


Emma and George Weston were very fond of their elegance and when they went out they always took a time choosing the perfect outfit for the event. Back in those days, they were considered quite eccentric, especially when it took to hats, but, as wealthy as they were, nobody cared.


I had fun doing this digital collage to this week Take a Word theme: HATS.


Background is a photo of the Salon de Paris in 1869. His hat, their brooches and the texture by Finecrafted Designs. Lady on left is a Dover sample. Lady on right was provided by Art Creation Friday in one of their challenges. Her fancy hat came from a plate of a 1900 magazine . I can't remember where the gourgeous couple came from.
