my new girl

I let out squeals of delight yesterday when the UPS truck stopped at my house to deliver my perfect new dress form!! I had cheaped out on the previous dress form that I bought...not only was it oddly shaped, but it fell over often which lead to it quickly developing a crack in the base and constant leaning. ughhh....lesson learned i suppose. quality over $$ Embarassingly, as soon as I got the new form together, I tried about 20 different dresses on it and even clapped my hands a few times! (I am glad nobody was around to see such a display of affection)


In other news, I had previously avoided white clothing for the shop at all costs because I have always used a white background, making the clothing near invisible and endlessly frustrating. With Spring here and Summer on its way, I could no longer fight it. I painted a wall grey and have started a new white collection. Here are a few gems!

An Experiment

my friend and I picked violets today and decided to try to make violet infused vodka. this is a test. i am not really a vodka drinker, but it looks so darn pretty. we will sample it in approx. 3 days. i hope my landlord doesn't mow down the rest of the purple beauties any time soon.
