Marie and Adrians wedding - Denmark

We had such a good time in Denmark and we were so delighted to see the pictures of the lovely flower girls. Here they are enjoying there big petticoats and swishy dresses

The start of something new

At Poppy HQ we thought it might be fun to start on some things especially for us.
As everyone keeps asking us about dresses for adults we thought we would have a go,
We got our friend Inga to come up to Yorkshire to help us to develop some lovely dresses for us, next strp is to get all our friends to try them on.

Poppys caravan

I have wanted to wriye a blog for some time but needed a reason to do it. Recently we bought a 1950's Eccles caravan.  The idea is to make a moblie shop and travel round selling Poppy.
Poppy makes little girls dresses as well as all sorts of other things.
I want to record the journey our caravan makes, the places it goes, the summer fairs and country shows, festivals and table top sales. So lets see, there is a bit of work to do first.
