The "Restaurant" Dress

I found a beautiful white "broderie anglais" dress of Ella's in a corner needing to have some stains removed, so set to and sprayed, soaked then washed and dried and managed to get the stain out.
I showed it to Ella when she got home from school this afternoon, she was so delighted to see it, and I got informed that it was her "restaurant" dress..obviously to wear when she goes somewhere nice for a meal!
She popped it on and I was able to get a photo of her in the hallway.

Great grandmother Heatherbelle joined us for dinner tonight, she enjoys following my Blip, and saw this photo. When I asked her for a suggestion for a title, she came up with this. Thanks Heatherbelle!

And I have to report success with the iPad issue, and I am so relieved. Visited my expert this morning who turned out to be the most wonderful 17 year old lad who has started a small business in town, just dealing with iPhones and iPad problems, and he has just won a local business award. Matt said could I wait 10 minutes, to which I replied I was more than happy to. He continued with some other clients, then with a smile on his face, he said it was all fixed!!! The cost...$10, I gave him $20 and said it was worth every cent. I was so proud to see such a young chap finding a niche and developing his own business. This guy is going to go places. Thanks Matt.

...and delighted to get an email this morning with results that I had got a Highly Commended plus an acceptance in the Nelson Triptych competition.
