JUNIPER GIRL

LATE NIGHT GYPSY TALKS MEANT WE REALLY DIDN'T FINISH THIS ONE UNTIL THE EARLY HOURS.

FIRST THINGS FIRST; WE WERE ALL JAZZED OVER OUR NEWEST ADDITION, A YET-TO-BE-NAMED VICTORIAN DRESS FORM. SHE'S THE REAL DEAL AND WILL MAKE A VERY FABULOUS COMPANION TO GRETCHEN THE DUMMY.

 THANK YOU, ROOSTER FOR FINDING HER FOR US.  

WE NEEDED TO CHRISTEN THE NEWEST MEMBER OF LA FAMIGLIA,

AND SO, AFTER A DINNER OF PASTEL MACARONS AND SWEET TEA,

 THE ALIX OF BOHEMIA JUNIPER BLOUSE SPRUNG FORTH FROM OUR HANDS. 

SHE'S GOT A LITTLE PETER PAN PEPLUM AND SOME TIES. 

WE DON'T NEED TO FURTHER EXPLAIN OUR PENCHANT FOR CHILDISH CLOTHES AND BANDANA PRINT,

BUT WE DO NEED TO TALK ABOUT THE SURPRISE INSIDE:

A FLASH OF JADE PANSY PRINT FOR GUTS,

A GINGHAM CUFF TO PULL IT TOGETHER.

OUR MAGIC HANDS MEANS YOU CAN'T SEE THE STITCHES.

AND THEN, IT WAS REALLY LATE, EVEN FOR NEVERLAND. 

BUT BEFORE WE COULD DIVE UNDER THE DUVET, WE HAD TO STEAL THE DUMMY'S THUNDER, JUST FOR A MOMENT, IF ONLY

TO CAPTURE THE JUNIPER WITH OUR PERFECT POLKA DOT PANTS.

THIS WAS MONDAY, WHERE WE LISTENED TO THIS ON REPEAT:

ALIX OF BOHEMIA JUNIPER BLOUSE IN CLOVER COTTON WITH PANSIE TIES.
GATHERED NECKLINE, CUFFS AND PEPLUM; HAND-FINISHED THROUGHOUT.
100% COTTON, MACHINE WASH AND LINE DRY
 (HIPPIES HAVE GOT TO HAVE THEIR PRIORITIES STRAIGHT AND WE'LL NEVER BE GROWN UP ENOUGH TO GO TO THE DRY CLEANER)
