May Day

As a child I remember making May Day flower baskets and hanging them on our neighbors door. Every May 1st I think of this special treat. How happy and surprised the receiving family would be... The baskets I made where the cone shaped- this is where you cut a 7 inch square then scallop the edges. Paper hole the ribbon through the top.

Ellie’s Spring Dress

I love this outfit that Ellie styled... This white dress is adorable with her Miami tan. (She wore sunscreen, of course!) She just browns up so easy.

Super cute. Great job Ellie! … [Read more...]
