Those collars would be definite sellers on Etsy. I mean like HOTCAKES!<br />In addition consider yourself well and truly told off!! You have gorgeous bone structure, beautiful eyes, a perfect mouth and to cap it all off your eyeliner flicks are nothing short of masterful!<br />i should have said it at the time but when you posted your make up looks from your holiday in Portugal(or was it Cyprus?) I was blown away by how beautiful you are. I literally sat there and thought WOW!I think you steered clear of posting too many photos of yourself on here to begin with. (I understand how that feels as I hate photos of myself) BUT, I am soo glad to see you are gaining in confidence enough to do so now, because you are an absolute stunner.<br />There. How's that for a telling off, lol!<br />PxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10017802422891332588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593765464158159022.post-1890095117337084722011-08-24T21:06:06.640+01:002011-08-24T21:06:06.640+01:00These are fantastic!

You've inspired me to put this on my<br />Autumn sewing list.<br /><br />Second of all, erm... you are TOTALLY photogenic! I was scrolling<br />through your post thinking how stunning you are - like a 1930s movie<br />star - so was very surprised to read your last paragraph. I know it's<br />cringe-worthy to post photos of yourself on the internet but these<br />snaps are great and you look GORGEOUS.

I think you look lovely in your photos but completely sympathise with the photogenic thing. I HATE seeing pictures of myself and can't pull off a sultry/thoughtful face for the life of me. I have to resort to a massive cheesy grin on every photo - otherwise I look like I've just received bad news!<br />I think you could seriously sell your collars on Etsy, they're beautifully made and have that lovely point of difference. xJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06618367450900385828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593765464158159022.post-4417103313762987722011-08-21T19:42:20.002+01:002011-08-21T19:42:20.002+01:00Ooh pretty!
