What a lovely day............

Birthday flowers.

It's my Birthday, not that I'm counting any more but I have just had a simply lovely day. The weather has been beautiful and sunny despite forecasts for rain. I've been for a lovely long walk with my two favourite boys, I've been rummaging in my fabrics and laces to find the right colour for this 16"Jumeau I made last year, A naughty treat (A custard tart) for lunch and the day isn't over yet, my daughter informs me we have to go to my friends up the road at 5.30 but she won't say why......I've got a pretty good idea though!

I'm so lucky to live right in the English countryside

Alfie did try to bring half a tree home, he was a little upset with me when I made him leave it at the gate!

Barnaby at the watering hole.

16" Jumeau 'Intrepide' ready to dress

This 2 way Thai silk looks lovely on her, matching her eyes just right!


And some antique lace to finish off, looking forward to getting started on designing and making her dress.

Hi Susie,

It was wonderful to discover you and your blog and many thanks for visiting me.
Happy birthday to you and I hope you had a wonderful day!
I used to make porcelain dolls too, and have them in a cabinet. I love the ones you have in your header.

Happy week
Hugs
Carolyn
