She looks like an original "Frozen Charlotte" and a beauty. Someone took care making her a little period outfit. Looks like from the fabric maybe 30's or 40's. Flora always writes the best comments.....I laughed too. Your windows came out wonderful and it will be great to see the progress of the new house!Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02754484460733910342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-12019549532950611672011-08-07T20:23:43.387-04:002011-08-07T20:23:43.387-04:00Thanks, Margriet!
