Quest for The Queen's Trumeau

Quest for The Queen's TrumeauOnce upon a day gone by
a lady came to France
to aid the queen as well she could
in court, as fate perchanced.

As the months and years were spent,
a deep, fond friendship grew
between the Queen and this young girl
that no one could undo.

Her majesty was vain of heart
and had a Trumeau gold
it's gilded frame, it's fragile glass
a wonder to behold.

A glass so finely crafted
it gave back more than took
and all who viewed themselves in it
wondered how fair they looked .....

Ephemera Designs: Historical Costumes in SL


Ephe Luik is the creative force behind Ephemera Designs. Her historical costumes are made with a lot of love & I just love to wear them. This fabulous video shows off some of her collection and I'm delighted that she used my version of The Queen's House in the Queen's Hamlet for some of her interior shots.
