I came across a perfect little blue dress on ebay about a month ago that no one was bidding on. The minimum price was $7 and so I figured even though it would be months and months before I could even consider fitting into it, I couldn’t let it just slip away. It was just too pretty not to own, especially for seven dollars. Turns out no one but me ever bid on it and soon enough it was at my door.

It sat in my closet taunting me for weeks. The perfect shade of summer blue with darling open sleeves. I couldn’t even pull it up over my belly to pretend that it could fit me.

and so Kate and Nick came over last weekend for a night out and I asked if Kate would be interested in babysitting it for me during the spring and summer months until it one day would fit me again. It just didn’t seem right for such a pretty dress to sit in the back of my closet.

She sent me this photo today. Sitting out in the field next to their house on the farm with their calf Bella. It fits just as charmingly as I expected. This photo looks like a dream.

It makes me happy knowing this sweet dress is going to get lots of wear during the glorious North Carolina springtime.  A favorite friend and a favorite blue dress

Oh happy day!

Love,

M

P.S. lets start a campaign to make Kate start blogging again - nothing makes me happier than weekly glimpses of farm life on her blog, Longest Acres.
