Lady in Waiting

The days are just flying  by.   And, I'm wondering if it

is ever going to cool down.  

I just loved stopping by your blogs and seeing

all the different Mae West art.  I'm always amazed

at how each of you interpret a theme.

This week I have for you a 

Lady in Waiting.  

I recently read a book that was all about life at court.

I don't think that would be the life for me.

The Lady in Waiting was an important member of the royal court and played an active role in participating with court entertainments, such as masques, dance and musical entertainment. The Ladies in Waiting were selected from high ranking and noble families.

I hope you enjoy your visit to court this week.
