Hair ribbon

This lovely woman worked at the booth where they were making genuine tintypes on the spot. The tintypes are beautiful--such a complete counter to our digital age--but their booth was also one of the most stylish places at the fair, replete with taxidermy, old apothecary bottles, starfish, and antique violins you could use as props in your photos if you liked.

Some of the 20somethings helping out with the booth were also going through what seemed to be a truck of old clothes--more props?--and I watched this woman deftly choose this lovely silk satin ribbon and tie it in her hair. She looks ready to pose for a Julia Margaret Cameron photograph. Unfortunately it was just me taking the shot, but she still looks stunning.
