Happiness in a dress Wednesday

Like you all know Tante Betsy dresses make you happy. 

Today I received two new dresses and wow they are beautiful and they make me really happy. 

Dress Anita is just stunning, I love this model, I have lots of Tante Betsy dresses like this model, 22 out of 40 Tante Betsy dresses ;).

I love the print, the blue and green print on this black dress is beautiful and make it a really colourful dress. 

But it also makes me very happy to see blogfriend Sandra http://beautifulboardwalk.blogspot.nl/ who also bought some great Tante Betsy dresses from the new collection. 

She went to Pantalone, it's a great shop in Eindhoven and they have a wide collection of all kinds of brands, http://www.kunstvanhetkleden.nl/ is their website. 

On this picture is Mariken, the owner, she is also wearing a Tante Betsy dress :). 

It's Sandra's very first Tante Betsy dress and she preferred to fit them on to see how they suit her and they suit her perfect!

This is dress Retro Go Black, doesn't she look great in it?

And dress Mimi Blue also looks great on her! The print is great, flowers combined with polkadots. 

And I have a confession to make it also looks good on me ;). 

I've got the same dress in Red (Mimi Red)...it's not even in the webshop of Tante Betsy...but she send it to me. 

So happy with it, in fact I even switched my outfit today and kept it on.

Red is one of my favourite colours and this one is combined with pink which is also one of my favourite colours :). 

If you want to buy one of these dresses, go to Tante Betsy her webshop (click on the link on the right side of my blog) or to one of the other shops, like Pantalone, maybe there is one near to your home town to fit them on. But you have to be quick, they go fast! http://www.tantebetsy.com/nl/verkooppunten

Creative Tante Betsy Tuesday

Hi girls, on Instagram I found lots of great pictures with Tante Betsy dresses/skirts and I notice that lots of us girls wearing happy Tante Betsy dresses are very creative. 

So today I want to share those creative minds with you girls. 

I'm also creative and make my own jewelry so they match with my lovely Tante Betsy dresses. 

I love bright colours and I love gemstones and the power of them, so I try to combine both in a necklace combined with my love for classic Mini Coopers. I blog about them at http://365dagencreatief.blogspot.nl/

I've seen lots of beautiful crochet work with vibrant colours and beautiful patterns. I'm actually a bit jealous of your great work girls. 

So here they are, with a single picture, I keep others for another time/day ;). 

These are their Instagram names, but will try to add links to websites, when they are included in their account.

Monday Family Time

Hey girls today it was all about family. 

Not that much time to make pictures and it's allready quite late to post my blogpost.

In the morning I had some quality time with my daughter (picture is an older picture from a couple of weeks ago, wearing my Dress Line from Tante Betsy and also my blue Tante Betsy hoodie vest).

And around noon my mom came to visit me, I made a picture with my iPhone on the tripod, so much better than making pictures with my selfie stick ;). I used the app 'Selfie Cam'.

Today I'm wearing my very first Tante Betsy dress, I still love this green polkadot dress from an older collection, Dress Charming. 

This picture I made on the 11th of September. 

Lots of love from Susan

World Animal Sunday

Today it's world animal day and I happened to stumble upon a few great Tante Betsy girls pictures with their beloved animals in them. 

Esther is a big animal lover, I allready shared a picture with her and Oscar on Instagram Thursday, but couldn't resist putting it in the collage again, it's so cute. 

Here is another one with Oscar in it, Esther is wearing a flower print Tante Betsy dress from an older collection. 

But she is also into cats, here is another great picture with her and Bram, the kitten. Wearing one of her favourite dresses, Dress O Dear Red.

Yesterday on Pink Saturday Bianca left a comment on Facebook, that it was pink saturday for her too, with a picture of her in a pink Tante Betsy dress (I have the same and I love it). 

And look what a great picture I found, together with Miloes. It's an older picture bit couldn't resist sharing it with you girls, wearing the pink dress (spring 2014). 

And another one wearing Dress Garden from the Spring/Summer collection 2015 of Tante Betsy. 

Oops completely forgot about this great picture from crochetrainbowtales :). She's wearing Strawberry Blossom Blue. 

Have a great Sunday evening!

Lots of love from Susan

Pink Saturday

Today it's pink saturday :). 

Pink is one of my favourite colours together with red and orange. 

It makes me feel happy. 

I do love bright colours, I'm not into pastels they don't suit me, they make me look pale. 

Today arrived a really cute dress from one of Tante Betsy's older collections. I scored it second hand but it still looks really well. Do you see the cute broche on the dress? So happy with this little gift :). 

The dress I'm wearing today is also from an older collection of Tante Betsy and I also scored it second hand a while ago. 

But this one looks not that new anymore but I don't mind, I like it anyway. 

Petra is just like me fan of pink but I was quicker than her with scoring the pink one, which I received today.

She is wearing a pink dress on this picture together with daughter Marit. 

Marit loves also the dresses Petra wears and would love to have the same as mommie ;). 

So I also share a picture of a really happy Marit, it's not a Tante Betsy dress but it's just such a cute picture. And it's the same dress as her mom's :). 

Allright girls have a great saturday!

Lots of love from Susan

Polkadottie Friday

Oh sometimes it's difficult to find a blogpost title for the day of the week but also what should I share with you and what kind of picture/pictures?

I know I just started my blog...just one week blogging about my love for Tante Betsy dresses on my new blog 365 days of happy Tante Betsy dresses. 

In one week time 92 likers on my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/365daysofhappytantebetsydresses

Also decided to go on Instagram https://instagram.com/365happytantebetsydresses/, great decision because I allready found great Tante Betsy pictures of you girls. 

In 4 days 40 followers on Instagram. 

The followers on the blog self aren't that much yet, 9 ;). But 1093 page views :). 

Today I'm wearing dress Polka Dottie Petrol from the Tante Betsy fall/winter collection 2014/2015.

It's the first dress I bought @ Tante Betsy webshop, it was my X-mas present ;). 

In the pictures you also see a cutie, my first Dachshund made from retro fabric, still love this one allthough in the meantime I also made some others ;). 

This blue one I made for our second grandson.

And another one for his 'big' brother. 

They are still living at our house but hopefully one day the little ones can take care of them theirselves. 

Allright girls have a great weekend! The weather in the south of the Netherlands is great. But not always easy to make pictures with loads of sunshine ;). But I'm not complaining :). 

Oh looking forward to more new dresses in the Tante Betsy webshop, I heard some new ones arrived. My favourite model too...so very curious to see the other prints and colours...

Maybe tonight they will be online...last week it was also late in the evening at Fridaynight ;). 

It would be great if you click on the Tante Betsy link on the right side of my blog (web version). http://www.tantebetsy.com/nl/

So our dear auntie can see that you have been visiting this page and maybe I can share real soon a great Tante Betsy give away on my blog/facebook page/Instagram. Wouldn't that be nice?

Lots of love from Susan

Instagram Thursday

Today it's Instagram Thursday and I'm going to share Instagram #TanteBetsy pictures with you girls.

I asked them all if they were okay with me sharing these on my 365 days of happy Tante Betsy dresses blog, most of them wanted their Instagram name shared and that's okay with me, I was doing that anyway ;). 

So if you don't see pictures of yourselves and I've asked your permission...they will come...not going to share them all right away :). 

But these nine I'm going to share, I made a collage out of them as you have seen, but will show every single one also complete. 

Thank you so much girls for sharing these great pictures. I'm looking forward to more great pictures of you girls or just your dress...or...
