A bit of a morsel....

To whet your appetite, my Dark Princess is a doorprize for this coming SpookyTimeJingles update, with her soulful eyes...



Her full crepe collar frames her face perfectly, you can almost see one of the 2 tiny
buttons I painted on her front bodice, peeking out from under the collar and I also painted an opened scalloped lace sash beneath it.

this picture shows the back detail with painted buttons.

I have to tell y'all about this:
I recieved one of the most lovely emails from a regular customer of mine, who bought my Marley. I wish I could post it all here but I will not embarrass her.
I will say that the response I got from her when she opened the package with Marley in it was absolutely PRICELESS!!!
She is one of the most endearingly funny and articulated person I have ever had the pleasure of " knowing", she makes me laugh and warms my heart...
Many Thanks,Dana!!!
Blessings,Flora

    Oh,Oh,Oh,
    I adore this piece Flora. NO Body does a pretty little face like you do. Just look at that turned up baby nose and sweet eyes with so much to tell you. She has lots of secrets to share. You can just tell.
    You know I love them all as I state it each time but I could never choose just one. Each one has a story to tell, to fill your life with magic you never thought existed.

    May you continue to be blessed
