Hi Everyone,
I hope you all had a great Easter weekend & are getting some Spring Sun in your neck of the woods. We're having off and on Sunshine, Rain, Sleet & Snow. Such a strange Spring here in The Seattle area.
I'm so excited to introduce you to "Ashton's" Big Sis "Gretta May". She is made from the same recycled Mouton fur coat that I used for "Ashton". She is named after The Little Girl that owned the antique autograph book that she comes with.
Please find her link below.
Please enjoy & thank you for taking the time to peek in on her.
Big Huggies,
Denise XXXX :hug:

Thank you Kelly & Patsy.
Kelly, it is a tough fur to work with but I think so worth it in the end. If my hands can stand it bear_cry , I want to dive into one of my other fur coats real soon. I keep my cansiter vacuum out at all times while working with the real fur because it's so messy. I swear, I feel like I could cough up hair balls bear_grin
Thank you again for your wonderful comments.
Big Huggies,
