    Jealous of your hats and dresses here, what great finds! The blue one definitely needs some kind of Call The Midwife outfit post.

    What an incredibly lovely array of treasures. Goodness! I'm smitten with all of them and scrolled through the photos three times to make sure I didn't dare miss a single thing or important detail to any of these beautiful yesteryear treasures. The nurses uniforms in particular jumped out at me, as I went as a 1940s nurse for Halloween a couple of years ago, which was the fulfillment of a longstanding desire of mine to just that ever since I was a little girl. My own uniform was classic white (with a matching vintage white cap) and looks relatively similar to the one here.

    I'm also especially head-over-heels for that elegantly gorgeous black hat. Swoon!!! :)

    Big hugs & many heartfelt thanks for your lovely birthday wishes, dear gal!
