Flamboyant Adornments

Little cousin has visited on more than a few days sporting flowers in her hair.

I had to look closely to see that they weren't real, but were darling little silk blossoms and had come in a package from her Auntie Faith.

...Along with two beautiful dresses.  

Apparently Auntie Faith (Hannah's sister) got a very bad itch to sew something for a girl - go ahead, 

click through the link.  You'll understand.

Anyway my girls were drooling.

Susanna even requested an "Auntie Faith".   

I can't say that I blame her - I'd like a dress like that myself!

I'm pretty sure she just got her first real taste of envy.

Because I could not grant her wish

(although I would like to insert that Auntie Hannah's are pretty unbeatable too) 

I decided to hunt down some clips for my girls.

Love them flowers - dirty face and all!

They picked their own flowers and glued them on with help from me.

  Three little daughters - my own princesses - satisfied for today.

...Until Auntie Faith sends another package to our cousin up the hill :-)
