Now the party is over I started to pack all the decoration and I felt a little bit sad, I really would like to share some of our party decorations with one of you!
Would you like to be the next owner of these party items? leave a comment to tell me why and I'll pick a winner next week ( 1 april, no joke ;-)

Mila's circus party part 3#



Saturday is Mila's Circus party so time is running out. One of the things we needed for the party was a ringmaster coat and of course a hat. I had so much fun designing and making this coat that I ended up making two, they are completly lined and can be worn inside out so we have 4 coats now, the coats will also be great for the clowns I think!!
