#32. White Lacy Mini Ears

A similar pair to #29 that got sold at A Little Bazaar yesterday.

I've had quite a few requests for my first pair of lacy ears so I thought I'd start with some mini ones first.

These are "learner's" ears - much smaller than the usual, to help you feel comfortable wearing some before graduating to the larger ones. Like those wheels on your first bicycle.

~ Fabric used: 100% cotton white crocheted lace on the front and 100% cotton drill on the back

Price:
~ GONE! Given away to a bride-to-be to wear on her Hen's Night. Tee hee hee.
