I was reminded a day or so ago, that I had not posted anything for awhile. Thought I better do something about it.
I purchased three trios from Kitten Vintage to go with the books I have of the Mackay Bulk Sugar. Happy to add to my Mackay collection.

Friends , your help is required. NOW!
Over the past few years I have added some beautiful wedding dresses to my collection. Most of them have all details but, but, some have not. In some cases it is my fault. Thinking I would remember who gave it to me and to whom it belonged. Sadly my memory file has overflowed and I have lost some details.
I need all of you to contact me and check if I have your details correct. NOW! Please, please, don’t delay!
A text message would be a great start.

Happy Australia Day

Have started work on wedding dresses and will continue till ready.
Painting again today.
Soaked these overnight, now for the sun to do it’s thing. 😀
Once again I have a mystery dress.
The miniature Bride!
Purchased from Walkerston, Church of England Op shop many years ago. I would love to know the history, because that’s what I do, collect and save history. If it’s local more the better.
Someone must know who had a matching wedding dress or who wore this delightful little girls dress.
