 A few of my Nancy Ann dolls. I love their sweet faces and floral dresses.

 My new woodland deer, couldn't resist.

 Some of my first attempts to make ribbon roses. Sadly, it is extremely difficult to find the beautiful ribbons they used to make in the 1920s. I have searched high and low so if anyone knows of any great place to shop for ribbons please let me know.
 These ones are make out of a velvet silk, I really love the colors.
 Sorry to have so many pics of me... I just really love this dress at RASCC, it was too expensive so I satisfied my want by snapping a few photos: )


 Some Materials I found at a recent quilt show in Ontario, Ca. I met the author of this book Helen Gibb, such a sweet lady.

Thanks to everyone for leaving me comments. I really appreciate them, it's nice to have friends.

      Thank you so much Laurie. I so love the Lily Ashwell line! I just wish it wasn't so darn expensive. Her dresses are very soft and so nice to wear. I am new to making the ribbon roses, but am really enjoying it. It's a great project to watch a movie and create:) Thanks for your sweet comments and great idea!! xx

    Oh my gosh! I was hopping around from blog to blog and landed here. I just love your ribbon roses! A couple of sources I would recommend, the first is a website business: VintageVogue.com, and then there is MJ Trims in NYC. They also have a website, but if you are ever in NY, you MUST visit their store in the garment district. It's right around the corner from Tinsel Trading Company. Another store I'd highly recommend if you're into vintage. It is beyond fabulous. Love your blog, it's so feminine! I just love seeing a young lady who is interested in "old-fashioned" pretties. I'm a new follower.
