Oh my! Look what I Lily was lucky enough to receive recently.

Uh huh. Yep, that's an actual, bona fide original Bella  baby dress! Isn't it just beautiful? Of course it is, Alicia made it.
I can't tell you what a shock it was when I opened the parcel and saw this lovely dress, it really was the last thing I was expecting. Of course I can't let Lily wear it because it's just too perfect, but I'm more than happy to have it hanging on her bedroom wall.
Another gorgeous gift that is hanging on the wall is this beautiful, soft mitten and bootee set.

They were knitted by the super kind and always generous Suzie of Suziesews and I absolutely love them!
Thank you so much Alicia and Suzie.
Goodness, that Lily's a lucky girl!

And talking about lucky, we were also lucky enough last week to spend a lovely day with Hazel.

It was a very relaxed affair and just what I needed. Bella really enjoyed it too because Hazel is fantastically patient and encouraging and very kindly spent ages sitting with Bella whilst she painted and whittered on.
Please come back soon Hazel.

Don't you just love blogging?

I notice that crazy plate with the deer/victorian lady is still lurking in your house! It gives me the willies.

Oh how sweet is that beautiful dress. I can see why you would want to hang it on the wall. The little socks and mittens are adorable too. Perhaps you will need a bigger wall to hang everything on soon.

I found your blog from Emily @ RavenHill... you may at least want to take a picture of your sweet little Bella in the pretty dress, because one day... it will no longer fit and you will wonder why you didn't put it on her! I have a Great Aunt who made wonder quilts/pillow cases etc... people would come to her house and stay, and take the cases off and not use them because," they are just too pretty!" So, she stopped making them altogether! Such a shame to wait all that talent! Enjoy your sweet girl! They do grow fast though! Mom of 4! 1 boy, 3 girls... all married! Jean
