Previously, you met Hennrietta Butterfield, my Victorian dress form.
She is usually always dressed in her crinolines.
Every time that I look at her,
it seems she has added another vintage cluster earring
to her bodice! She just loves vintage jewelry!
I have another gal who keeps me company in my sewing room.
She is a less expensive, more modern version who came to me
looking like this.
This weekend I decided to give her a makeover.
Striving for a more vintage-eclectic look,
I enlisted the help of my rubber stamps,
grungy inks, strong coffee, vintage jewelry,
and vintage ribbon and lace scraps.
Here is the end result (for now)....
I am happy to introduce
the Lady Charlotte Willoughby
(you needn't curtsey, she is only a cousin to royalty)

I have been wanting an old dress form for years and just haven't found one (that I could afford). I didn't want a new one because I didn't think they had much personality, but you have shown me that they, indeed, can be just as charming with a little touch here and there! Lady Charlotte Willoughby is lovely!
Thanks so much for the encouragement! I am off to bid on a dress form on Ebay! ;~}
Blessings!
I love the bling! So cute:c)
she's wonderful and I'll just bet you had a blast dressing her up
This is great! I love the way you stamped her and that crown...love it!
I also like the vintage ribbon, jewelry, and lace scraps. And you called yourself more "technical" and less "creative" in the 'fly if you are able post'?! I think not! Looks like you are both!
I didn't realize you had another blog Bev! Today was the first time I saw your link to your other blog. I know I have visited this blog before (way before I had a blog) but at the time I didn't know about your farm blog - but I did love your aprons. Now I'm following this one too and can't wait to look through your old posts. I don't know how you can publish two blogs and take care of your farm too. And then sew and do crafts - you must never sleep.
