happiest friday!

...if you have a little girl
(and even if you don't!)
(trust me!!!)

and

 you adore ruffles ~

then this is the post for you!!

I have been absolutely swooning

over this outfit!

 

isn't it just soooo

ruffley adorable?

so farmstyle romantic??

so something I just HAD to have?!

It is from the delightful Eden's Bouquet

an oh-so-charming,

swoon worthy web shop that I implore you to visit!

It is like Anthroplogie for children!!

and from the moment your eyes hit those 

b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l-l-y

photographed pages

and you see those gorgeous outfits,

your

tongue

is

on

the

the pictures alone are inspiring ~

but the body adornments are that

of fairytale like clothing

WOW!!!

~warning~warning~warning~

 even if you don't have any little ones

you are going to ~ eye spy with your little eye ~

SOMEONE

to wrap up in these outfits!!!

I'm just sayin`

youwerewarned!!!!

anyway

I've been eyeballin` this outfit from the moment I saw it

as I have been on this romantic farmstyle quest

and noticing that as of late

everything I'm drawn to, fits this criteria:

romantic farmstyle : check

actually everyday wearable/useable : check

WASHABLE: CHECK

(homemade, organic juice popsicles are simply a must on the farm, in the summertime!!)

looks charming hanging on the clothes line: check

(yes, I think about these things!!)

have a sweet little girl to put this on: hhhhmmmm

uuhhhooohhhhh

not check!!

my sweet girl is by no means little anymore

sniff, sniff

and is at the age that would just simply would not be caught dead in this kinda outfit

(and this is kinda funny to me ~ cause I'm long gone outta that range

but I'd so wear this,

in my size,

on the farm

to feed the chickens and bake pies and gather me rosebuds...)

really!

anyways...

as I was saying

I simply HAD to have this outfit

you understand

right?

s~o

I decided that my neice

was going to wear this outfit!!

Oh

let me introduce you

this is KiKi, my neice

(and my dear Mom, you already know)

KiKi ~ Mom,

~ everyone

(they say "charming to meet you all!")

so there I was ~

have a sweet little girl to put this on: check

already to click away

and

gulp...

heart sank

no longer available...

WHAT????

hhhhhmmmmfffff!!

now

being the kinda` girl I am

this little snaffu wasn't going to detour me from having that outfit!

(do people say snaffu anymore??)

sooooo

as you may have guessed ~

off to fabric store I go!!

when I want something bad enough

I WILL seek

until I FIND!!!

 

tada!!!!

what do you think??

 

isn't it just so

ruffley?

would you like to know what pattern I used?

you know,

just in case you were in need a weekend project??

(what? it could happen?!!)

it is:

kwik sew 3673

OR

 if this simply isn't "kwik" enough

(HA!!)

and let's say the closest fabric strore to you

might as well be in Massachusetts

and you're from Arizona

(just go with me here!!)

I've got you covered too, dear reader
