TAKE A WORD - MABEL, A LADY THAT LUNCHED


This week at TAKE A WORD Marie has chosen ALBUM as our word for inspiration and that reminded that it has been quite a while since I last visited Mabel in our family album.  

So, imagine my surprise when I found that Mabel has at last married well, and now is an Edwardian lady that lunches!


May I introduce you to Mabel as she was the last time I saw her.  Hasn't she done well?

Thank you for looking.

  7. Oh la! Doesn't Mabel look elegant? I'm wondering if she ever met Marie's Uncle Paul. The two of them seem as if they'd go together quite well! I love the Eduardian background and the contrast of black and white and color, Ann. This is really a very enchanting piece! Bravo
