So yesterday I spent the day with wonderful Dee, of One Denim Bird fame. Yes, the awesome seamstress who made me this incredible frock.
She came armed with a vintage suitcase full of gifts, including this amazing dress, with the most magnificent sleeves...
I gave her this gorgeous crazy kaftan...
The sleeves! THE SLEEVES!!!
Backyard dancing was in order, obviously.
But her best gift of all was a day of laughter and half finished stories,
hugs and chats and gossip and love.
hugs and chats and gossip and love.
More tomorrow (we went op shopping)!

your posts are always so much fun! both the dresses are divine!
Another kaftan-rocking headband-flaunting gal who loves to perform interpretive dance in the garden? Dee is a babe after your own heart, Sarah! And I don't want to worry you, but she's running you pretty close in the posing stakes, you know...
You look as though you are having a ball, I only wish I was there too. Fabulously hippy dippy trippy dresses, the Age of Hilarious Aquarius Do-you-dare-y-us indeed! Sleeves of Glory!
LOVE! xxxxxxxx

Eeeekkk! I love to see blogger meet ups and I've been dying for this one! You both look utterly wonderful, rocking those amazing caftans like Mama Cass on acid!! Love it! Wish I could have been squished in between the two of you!!! I knew Dee would be tremendous company, she's adorable and how shiny is her hair?
Love you more than angel sleeves! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
This does look like a great day and a meeting of two kindred spirits. Also I'm so envious of your headband Sarah, wish you lived closer so I could borrow/nick it from you because it's just what I need for the weekend. Guess I'll just have to use these pics as inspiration and get creative myself. xx
that's so nice! I wish I could be there too, so you ladies could caftan-ify me! You both look wonderful, and like you had so much fun. I do indeed remember the dress Dee made for you--so talented!
You both look amazing in your SleevesofAwesomeness!! I love both the dresses and what fun you are having!! i'm sure you gave the neighbors quite the show!!
Haha, brilliant. You two are sisters from another mister!

Great kaftans, would love to join in the dancing x
I can see why the two of you hit it off so well! You look like druid priestesses in your robes and flowered headbands dancing around your backyard. Can't wait to see what the two of you found in your shopping expedition.
You are truly two sleeve goddesses to be sure!

The blue striped dress is very extraordinary. Reminds me of the outfits of the famous Austrian art nouveau painter Gustav Klimt.
