Beatrix & Bouquet 2


Beatrix, Roses and Yarrow

Here's another installment in the rather strange series of Beatrix & Bouquet. (Martin observes it's a slippery slope into Anne Geddes, but I'll never go there. No babies in cabbages. No way. Heaven save me.)

This gorgeous dress Beatrix wears here was made by a childhood friend of mine, Rita (her sister and my brother used to communicate by tincan phone strung betwwen our whitewashed maisonettes in Nairobi, Kenya.) Lovely.

Oh Kim, what beautiful picture! It looks like something Miss Potter herself would have painted.
This picture really made my week.

I still can't believe you made that gorgeous dress, tucks and lining and everything. Beatrix was unusually stylish in it all day yesterday. Thanks so so much!
