So much loveliness! I love the tapestry bag, the baby pink frock and the gorgeous red frock with wings! Any chance of full length pics? Would be great to be able to see the whole frock. All of those goodies on the table are very tempting and YES PLEASE THAT CAPE IS FAAABULOUS!

Nelly - you frock!
That red winged number is glorious, especially with the Clockwork Orange bowler hat! The green one and the brown lace are gorgeous too. How DO you find so many treasures? Look at all those lovely gloves...
Have a fabulous weekend, love! xxxx

What fabulous sleeves it has.
You look so gorgeous in all your dresses.
That green mermaid dress is still one of my favorites it just amazing!
Animal print cape!! "OOOOOHHHHH IT ISSS SOOO LOVELY!"
Oh oh to many gorgeous gorgeous dresses, I just love so many of them.
You look so very pretty in the 50's lace one.
Yay to treasures. v
Love the glamarous look Nelly. The green mermaid dress is just stunning - you look fab. I also like the pink one - very different, very pretty. Nice to see you frocking again. xx
Nelly I wish you could bottle some of your energy & send me a dose! Girl, you're sumthin else! Absolutely love all the goodies & the 3rd dress down (with the hat) is my favorite on you. Simply adorable! Oh I can't believe you're building a new house! Exciting for sure but with my own experiences of many "make-overs" it gives me a headache of what's ahead for you. It'll be fun watching you progress & I know you'll be a champ! Glad you're home sweetie! Hope you've been able to get at least a little rest & some "you" time.
