Vintage Dress Giveaway!


Summer has arrived!
I hope your days have been filled with wonderful
memories... fun projects... creative moments and joy!

Thank you for your messages and emails~
I was away from my Blog and Etsy to care for family...
Also finished working on a very fun & exciting project!
My studio is back in order...
I'm catching up on special requests...
I have Oooodles of goodies to list later this afternoon!


But first... we have a new GIVEAWAY!
This tiny vintage dress caught my eye
last summer when we were in Madison-Bouckville.
Seems a bit too large for a Barbie type doll...
A bit too small for a teddy bear...
But JUST RIGHT for a Giveaway!
It measures approx. 3" wide at the tummy.
It is 7" long from shoulder to hem.
I drew the baby bird on this delicate piece~


Anyone can enter to win this little treasure!
Simply leave a message on this post and
your name will be put in the hat~
We will pull a name one week from today...
June 30th!

I look forward to visiting your blogs and catching up!
Etsy treasures will be listed later today~

Wishing all of you joy!

    Michelle, this is adorable as all your work is! Hope your project has been a rewarding one. Given the timing, I'm guessing it's a Surtex related one. It'll be good to see it come to fruition when you can share.

    Hope work and home and family are all good for you. What a blessing to have summer arrive! Some day we must meet. The community of gentle artists is such a wonderful thing.
