Pretty.... My mom is the best! I got a nice little surprise package filled with trinkets in the mail yesterday! Her friend owns and antique store and look at what she found for me! I can't wait to play!

Next up: A custom apron for my darling friend Maija!

Maija wanted an apron to wear to Silver Bella. She provided me with a picture of her Blythe doll, Molly. She said she wasn't "crazy" about the dress that Molly was wearing in the picture... so I decided to make her a new one! Now Molly is wearing a darling shabby chic vintage cotton dress. I think she looks so cute! Maija really loved the apron by the way!
I also made a mini apron for Maija's Molly to wear. Here is my Holly Go Lightly Pullip doll modeling it over her evening wear! I ordered printer fabrics on-line and the seller inadvertently sent me silk habotai fabric instead of poplin cotton. I most likely would had never tried to work with silk but decided to give it a go and it worked beautifully and Molly looks so pretty printed on silk! It's easier to work with than one would think!

Today I drove out to Fullerton, CA to visit the lovely Dede and lovely Nancy at Gilding the Lily and drop off my class art apron sample. I still cannot believe that I have never been to Fullerton and never been to this beautiful vintage shop. I loved it there! Fullerton is a very sweet little town and one I hope to visit more often in the future. And Gilding the Lily is a real jewel... for those of you who live close enough to go - it is an absolute must see!

Here is my apron on display in the area where all the class samples are arranged for all the shoppers to see. I can't wait to teach this class. I am very excited about it.

LOOK at this gorgeous lampshade doll. Isn't she stunning?

Glitter glitter and more glitter!
