Elizabeth.......

She had kept me busy for a few days........ I really like sewing with linen.......there is nothing finer to me than quality linen......

Looking for something chic......

something unique to wear is difficult out here "on the frozen tundra",
but Elizabeth was created........just for me...... without a pattern I designed her every tuck and ruffle, and adorned her with a rose.........
here's the result........
When I did take Elizabeth out for the first time, other people like her too.......
and so do a few other people.........and now, I have a few orders for me to make them an Elizabeth of their very own......

i wore her with a long denim skirt and white ruffled t-shirt underneath......but she would look great with just about anything.......
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN PURCHASING YOUR OWN Elizabeth, contact me at ndfmama@gmail.com

she needed some accessories, so.......
~a gray pin with vintage soft blue ribbon and a miraculous medal~
(a.k.a. "Marie")(the sheet music is not part of the pin - just part of the packaging)
Did you all have a wonderful weekend?
It was sunny here....I even drove with the sunroof open....and the sun felt awesome........

until tomorrow.......

Tomorrow is a new day........
