Freebie Friday - Vintage Dress Form - Image - Digital Stamp

1896 Delineator Adjustable Dress Form Image
Curtsey Boutique
Freebie Friday, Digital Stamp

I love the vintage issues of the Delineator for its beautiful fashion plates and fun ads. 

Dress forms are still very popular and I'd never seen a collapsable one for before. The image above "closed" is the dress form collapsed and the image on the right is it open completely. Pretty nifty.

As always, feel free to use the image above for PU, S4H, or CU so long as you link back to the blog.

Have a great weekend,

1898 Delineator Bicycle Outfits
Everyone is out running, walking or riding bikes in the beautiful Summer-like weather we have been having. It prompted me to share these bicycle outift fashion plates from a 1898 Delineator issue. Can you even imagine mounting a bicycle, never mind riding it in such voluminous clothing? I can't!

As always feel free to use these images for PU, CU, or S4H, so long as you link back to the blog.

Have a great weekend,

Embellished Berry Basket with Shellye McDaniel

Embellished Berry Basket
Curtsey Boutique Designer
Shellye McDaniel


 Shellye shares a wonderful project today showcasing our brand new pint pulp berry baskets. She even gives a few tips on how to recreate it.





1. Cut a piece of floral foam to fit into berry basket.  

2. Using 'fringe' scissors (or hand-cutting strips with regular scissors) cut strips from paper bags.  


3. Crush shreds with your hands and then apply to top of the floral foam (I used a quick-dry glue to the top of the foam before covering with shreds).  


4. Determine placement for your forks and then insert into the foam. 


5.  Change up the fork display with different photos, recipes or notes!
