It is always very sensitive for artists what part of their work to share and when (you have to be ready for it!), and I thought the adorable seal rock was a perfect point when I could start sharing my writing news with my friends and readers.

And I am sure very relaxing/therapeutic, not only exciting, which is a great mix! On the bottom of these rocks, there are a few words about sharing on FB (there are groups for that), keeping or re-hiding the rock. Just so you know how to introduce this tradition to your town. :)Natalia Lialinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07552652475347261756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-4765963135358373422017-07-18T15:05:30.269-07:002017-07-18T15:05:30.269-07:00Thank you so much, my dear!!

I would LOVE to be able to wear your dresses. :) I am still building my collection, gathering pieces that touch me. I was always a big fan of 1960s/1970s, as well as 1930s/1940s, but it is fairly new to me to like 1950s fashion. But I absolutely get why women are drawn to these shapes - they feel so feminine, romantic, almost princess-like to wear. <br /><br />I am glad you understood what I meant by sharing my first rock story! It's important to me!<br /><br />I hope you'll get a chance to wear all your wonderful dresses this Summer - many happy warm days to you!Natalia Lialinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07552652475347261756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-27421520951918188342017-07-18T14:56:44.559-07:002017-07-18T14:56:44.559-07:00Thank you for visiting, Shawna, you are a rare gue...Thank you for visiting, Shawna, you are a rare guest these days! I am glad that you like staring :) at this outfit, it felt so lovely to wear it for my evening stroll. <br /><br />There is still lots of work to do, but I the little seal rock whispered in my ear that it's time to share with the world what's coming! I'm nonsense at all this "marketing/promoting" stuff - I treat everyone as a friend, not as "follower" and a target for advertising, so I am always hesitant and shy to even mention my writing news. But it is such a HUGE part of me, and of course Andrei's and Justin's life too - and I think I will start sharing more and being just more open about all of it.<br /><br />Lots of love!

I shared this story with a FB group and got (and continue getting) so many likes and loves - people love a good "first rock story"! <br /><br />I hope you will be able to get the photos that you are aiming for!

I almost did not post these photos, even though Justin did such a wonderful job on these...but I felt I under-accessorized the dress, and I had many other ideas, but at the end I decided to go with it, because not everything has to be "staged" - there is beauty in more casual approach too! I will wear it differently later and if I take photos, I'll share them too. <3Natalia Lialinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07552652475347261756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-73813092352491178572017-07-18T14:23:00.414-07:002017-07-18T14:23:00.414-07:00Love the dress!

Dresses are my favourite garments too, and your dress would fit perfectly in my collection. Somehow, I feel I'm not getting the most out of my summer wardrobe, though, as for some of my favourite dresses, it has been either too hot or too cold ... As for your big reveal, I perfectly understood what you meant from the start. How exciting, and how fitting too that you then found the painted rock with the seal. What a wonderful tradition these painted rocks are!

I wish I had the ability/equipment to do such wonderful shots! Second, I also am a huge lover of dresses! And how can you not love a dress so beautifully reminiscent of the 40s and 50s...such a marvelously feminine time in fashion! Finally, the seal rock! That is so amazing!

I was so excited to share that feeling of joyful harmony! I was so excited to announce the main character of my story! They are alive to me, just like people that I know... I love the little rock, but really, it has nothing to do with the inspiration for my character - it's a long a wonderful story in its own right, which I would love to share, but not now.<br /><br />I knew you'd appreciate the dress! I wasn't a big fan of 1950s fashion (glad I don't live in that era :), but lately I am drawn to this style... perhaps your influence, my dear! :) <br /><br />I will take the advice Vix gave me on the pads for vintage clip-ons, they should help.

Seals are wonderful, we used to live on the beach and had all sorts of close encounters with them.<br /><br />I guess I haven't expressed myself clearly.

They paint and leave their art around town, for others to be surprised, to share joy!
