Lola takes a trip

I have two mannequins in my studio that I use when making aprons for my Etsy store. They are named Lola (the larger of the two) and Lolita. When I am in my studio sewing or designing, I always put an apron on them. The aprons inspire me and I actually feel like I have a friend nearby. Silly, though, they really keep me company when I'm working AND they never leave a mess or talk back!

Recently, a friend asked to borrow Lola. She is making a wedding dress for her daughter who lives in another town. How could I say, "No." So, Lola is away for a few weeks! I hope she finds the work satisfying. In the meantime, I've noticed that Lolita has easily filled in for her big sis'.

That's cute. I am in awe of your work. I started a non profit Parenthood for Me.org. Our mission is to provide financial and emotional support to those starting families through adoption or medical intervention. Check out our blog and website.
Would you consider donation an apron for a giveaway on my blog? I am trying to spread awareness about our organization and giveaways seem to be a great way to build up readership.
Just a thought.
Sincerely,
Erica

This is funny to me because my youngest sister's name is Lola Jill and we call her Lolita all the time. Hurry back Lola.
