Beagles::Designs::Award

IMG_0699
I thought I would pause a moment on this lovely Tuesday and share with you another of our previous designs. Our love of design and creating eventually led us here to Italy, and this outfit was one of the early projects. It was meant for practice, but the old-fashioned style was exactly the look that appealed to us...we felt it encompassed a slightly regal yet casual elegance. The beagle in the photos was our sweet puppy and it seems she added a nice touch!
I hope you are all having a fantastic week and I would love to hear your thoughts on this design!
