My friend Tressa, the very talented lady behind Dress Me Up surprised me today by sending me a de-stash box of fabrics. A huge thank you to dear Tressa! All sorts of lovely things in there, but I especially like these vintage napkins- I can’t wait to turn them into skirts for the dolls. I’m wanting to start using vintage fabrics, I love trolling thrift stores for good finds- and they are a-plenty where I live. The last batch of jeans that Constance made for the dolls were made from Johns old Gap jeans.. here’s a pic of the cute detailing.. distressed jeans! On a doll! (I am sure that the Bratz dolls have distressed jeans too)
I feel like I live in the Land o’ Plenty this month. We have been ridiculous ninja blackberry pickers.. trips out now usually include at least two stops when we see a bush just calling our name. We’ll just be driving along and John will stop the car, run out and come back with a few handfuls. It’s not only blackberries that we are finding but today we found a farm that sells everbearing strawberries. I went a bit nuts on the strawberries in June as I always do, so by the end of the Spring berries, I was done. But today when we found these berries..mmm.. my love affair with strawberries has begun all over again. We ate a pint on the way home and a pint for desert with whip cream. The cream, BTW, is the top of my farm milk all whipped up and frothy. Heaven!
