Lilla's email was titled 'aloha' and she ends it with the same greeting too. Why am I telling you this - because I received something in the post this morning which was called 'Aloha' - Dancing Girl. What a co-incidence (maybe I should buy an extra lottery ticket this week!).
The Dancing Girl is a prize I won on the blog 'It's an Alien Life' from the multi talented Mrs A who set a little competition.
Mrs A said as soon as she saw this in her book (Japanese hand made gifts I think it is) she thought of the little dresses I make every month in the Dress Up challenge and had to make it for me. That is so thoughtful and kind!
Mrs A said the 'pocket is designed to take a special piece of jewellry or a little bottle of cologne' .... wonder what I'll put in it!

The hanger is made up of some lovely glass beads, and there are more stitched onto the ruffle on the silk bodice.  Everything is hand stitched, so neat and exquisite and the fabric is beautiful!  The back is decorated too  Inside, the pocket is lined with the softest felt and the skirt petals are also lined with felt - all hand stitched, such patience she must have. Here's one more photo of the side view  You may have guessed that I am just a little bit pleased with my prize! Thank you again Mrs A - you're the best! |
