Puffles, Honey and Isabelle say a big THANK YOU to their HK trip friends for their patience and perseverance in sourcing all the decorations and helping get everything home! Also for waiting patiently for the cocktails while they were being used as props 😀

Honey and Isabelle say a big THANK YOU to their special friend who made the seriously cute dresses they are wearing today 😉

And many, many thanks to all who listened patiently, day after day, to the hoof by hoof and stitch by stitch account of getting ready for this party. Great news everyone, the outfits for the next parties come out of a box, or several…
