For your princess – Hive and Nest

In my constant search for the perfect baptism* dress for Arabella I came across this beauty.  It’s silk, hand smocked by Isabelle Garreton (who makes the most drool-worthy dresses.  Look at that smocking!), size 12 (new with tags) and it’s for sale on ebay for $9.99.  Yes, you read that right.  I almost passed out when I saw it, it’s so gorgeous.  When I showed it to Arabella, she sighed. “Sorry Mom, I just don’t like old-fashioned things like you do.”   The horror!  How could she not like old-fashioned things?  Did she not spring from my womb?

Anyway, I just had to post this because somebody must have a daughter who would like this. It’s such an amazing deal. ($6.00 for shipping.) There are a bunch of detailed pictures of the dress here. (The auction ends on June 14 at 2:56 pm Pacific time)

Maybe I’ll get it and make Arabella wear it anyway. It wouldn’t be the first time.

*Mormon kids don’t get baptized until they are eight years old and able to choose right from wrong. Before that all kids are considered sinless. (There being a difference between sinning and being super naughty.)
