my compound dress from Valerie of Dear Birthday takes in some west coast sun in a rosebush!

i got a package in the mail! i’ve been looking forward to my compound dress and it arrived. i really really love Valerie’s work. she’s one of the reasons i started doing what i do with SWANclothing. i haven’t put it on yet, but i can say that the cotton feels so beautiful. the dress is tied in it’s own braided belt. and it came with a pile of gold stickers with a deer wearing a bit of birthday cake on it’s head. and one of Valerie and Ian’s [Valerian] beautiful cards. sorry my descriptive abilities are a bit lacking right now. all i can say is that everything is packed with brilliant sweetness and i can’t believe i am so lucky to have this.

more soon with the dress on…
