Remember this gorgeous lady?
Last fall I came across this napkin lady on Pinterest. I fell in love and wanted one of my own. Less than a week after my blog post about it, I went to my favorite antique mall with Erin and actually found this one.
I may have embarrassed Erin with my squeal and OMG's, but I was just so darn excited! She wasn't as colorful or detailed as the one on Pinterest, but I snatched her up anyway. I brought her home intending to show her when I did my sewing room reveal, but then the knee thing happened and everything came to a standstill.
Before I knew it, it was Christmas and look what Erin gave me.
I got a little teary. Not so much because it was a napkin lady, but because Erin was thoughtful enough to find one for me. I love that girl! Anyway, I was filling her dress with vintage hankies and I was surprised it wasn't as easy to do as I thought it would be. I played around and poked and pulled those hankies until I was blurry eyed. So I'll have to show you in her 'ball gown' another day.
Have a terrific Tuesday!

How pretty!! Isn't it just the best when we find something that we've been looking for. I love that when that happens.
ReplyDeleteThe one Erin gave you for Christmas is so lovely and cheerful! What a special gift. I love getting thoughtful gifts like that, they make your heart full.
You will definitely have to dress her in her ball gown one day so that we can see!
