Miss Amanda says "Anywhere But Here"


"Anywhere but here... is painted on a building somewhere in
Houston--if any of you can identify where exactly it is (part of the fun
is discovering the artwork), I'd love to find out!" Quote Miss Amanda Lee

Thanks Miss Matilda! Cutting out the pattern for the dress took quite a bit of time but was worth it. I'm very pleased with the way she turned out as well!

Mysti, Candee and Sakura.....


I've been a longtime fan of Candee photography, she also happens to be the very first
Able Grable customer! I'm not sure if she knows that, but she was!

I didn't know she was going to use her Miss Lola Burns in her shoot for my favourite UK hat
designer, Sakura Designs, so I am completely bowled over.

The Icing on the cake, is of course Mysti Vine.

Thank you ladies, this is more than Deco Divine! xxx
