That's wonderful - just like an illustration from an old book. I like the look of the embroidery stitching at the top and the way it balances the lace along the bottom.

This is such a wonderfully inspired work! I love each element you have included. And I have all of them so this will go into my 'got to case it' file. Just beautiful!
