Petticoats Three
When I first saw Petticoats Three over at Just Inklined, it was instant happiness. I was very curious about the little tags on each petticoat and I assumed (never assume) that the numbers indicated sizes but each looked to me to be the same proportions. I decided to ask and not assume so I sent an email to Just Inklined's chief guru and my crafting idol, Jak Heath, and she very sweetly advised me that it is old English money, seven shillings and sixpence for the first, six shillings for the second, and ten shillings and sixpence for the third. She also told me that my question gave her a little giggle. If I wasn't so embarrassed by my ignorance, I would have asked her if she would mind converting the total into American dollars and cents!
This is fabulous Tammy. I just love these petty coats and the colors are lovely.

Very cute - it reminds me of that old Petticoat Junction show where the girls would hang their petticoats on the water tank when they went swimming. I would have thought the same thing as you, but I probably wouldn't have asked!

LOL Tammy, I was wondering the same thing about the tags! Thank you so much for asking! This card is just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteFrom your art your learn Tammy. To add to your knowledge until 1966 Australia also had the same monetary system, which is an interesting one indeed.
ReplyDeleteI love the softness of your pretty card today but I am very glad to never have to wear this style of unders!
Love this sweet trio of petticoats- very pretty in the Monochromatic blues. I love to learn new things- so how cool is that with the Money system!
ReplyDeleteOooooh....what an adorable image and I love how you used the monochromatic colors...love all the hearts, too!!!
ReplyDeleteI love all the gentle blues in this gorgeous design!! Those delicate hearts and pearls are divine!
