I move eveything around, too, Jo. And early morning when eveyone is sleeping- the BEST time, I agree.
Love the dress with the silver glitter!

Love your bunnies! Enchanting blog!
Just found your blog...I love your creative and whimsical life!
Hi Jo,
I would love to share a pot of tea after Easter!
Wishing you and your family a happy one!
A silver glitter dress is the perfect outfit for a mannequin in your delightful home!
I loved the little portrait that you have - looks like a picture mounted onto cardboard - simple, but so unique.
Thanks for sharing,
Niki
I love all of your pretties!!
Have a wonderful day Jo!
