Pleased to Meet You (And I Hope That You Guess My Name)...

My little mannequins came last week, and I'm so excited about them. Olivia huffs and puffs when I make her model skirts or aprons, so I got a size 5-6 model for those types of girly little things, and a size 1-2 babe for bibs and onesies and such.

I think they're both girls. So introductions are in order (is it weird that I'm naming them???)

The gal to right is named baby Frances. She doesn't know this yet, but I may occasionally make Frances pose as a boy, at which times I will call her Frankie.

The taller gal is miss Penelope. Penelope was almost a Vivian, but I didn't want to steal anyone's thunder if they choose to name a real live child Vivian (but it is a damn good name, isn't it?.

The girls are adjusting to life at the HQ just swimmingly.

I've already put them to work modeling a couple of little vintage sweaters for the shop.



Good girls.


xoxo

The girls are darling. . .you could have named one Viv, cut then the other would have to have been Oliver. Viv and Ollie, my mythical twins, would be so happy in the sweetjessie studio.

You're too funny! Great names. :) I love Penelope too, but no way could it go with my last name (Penny for short-- too cute!). I'm sure Olivia is THRILLED. How fun.

I so would NOT have cared if you used Vivian. It IS a good name-- we could have had name twins because that is what we decided on for sure. :) xo
