Happy Memorial Day Weekend from the Beadbloggers and a photo of a Blythe

My doll, "Vesper" has stars in her eyes and luscious blue mohair. She is a custom by Zaloa Studios, and I find her totally fashionable in this dress made of a scrap of authentic, beautiful Vivienne Westwood fabric, and these super cool Alexander McQueen style shoes, both by TSANFW (on Etsy, here).

Happy Memorial Day Weekend from the Beadbloggers!
