January!



I had a wonderful calendar as a gift for my birthday and each month portrays a beautiful vintage-style lady, surrounded by jewels, roses and lace. Here is 'Miss January' - these are lovely large pictures so I will probably frame them at the end of the year.

Here are some close-ups of the roses around the cameo.





I've just had a peep at February's - can't wait to show you that one!
