Goodness.



Not only does this dress have goodness written all over it. BUT, Tiffany, the woman who makes it is goodness in human form. Let me tell you a story about her AND this dress that is pure goodness...

My beautiful, Miss Betsy Jane, was chosen as a recipient for the Rosemary Zander Award. Yeah! I wrote about it here many weeks ago. It is the highest honor the St. Louis Special School District bestows upon students who show outstanding achievement. Yeah, again! Anywho, I wanted to get her something special to wear on the night of the big award banquet in April. I knew I wanted something a little bit more custom, definitely handmade, and undoubtedly, from etsy. The search began, but, luckily, I found that little number above, fairly quickly. The problem is, that I like Betsy to have bloomers or leggings with dresses because she still wears a diaper. April is more like a bloomer-kind-of-month. So, I had to contact Tiffany of the etsy shop, princessister2, to see if she could help me out. I mean, I needed that dress for Bets. I explained the potty training situation because of Betsy's disabilities (sometimes I feel the need to explain myself, guilty as charged), the award banquet, the special dress, etc., and not only is she going to whip up bloomers in a size 7, but she is doing it FREE OF CHARGE as a gift to Betsy. How freakin' cool is that? That, my friends, is the embodiment of goodness.

I don't know about you, but these kinds of things always happen to me just when I am starting to doubt the human race. Wowza, God is a mastermind, THE mastermind, isn't He? Giving us just what we need, right when we need it. Incredible and good.

Later, gators!
