    No Holidays for Lady Chrystel !

    Lady Chrystel never stops !

    No vacations, no holidays this summer : only kilt making !

    Here she is under the family prune trees with what shall soon become one of her Double Box Pleated Kilts.







    Best,

    Robert,

    That material is beautiful! Only you can pull that off with your looks and Lady Chrystel's magnificent talents. I love the fact that your dog is standing watch so fiercely while she toils over the garment.

    That is a beautiful blue. What a glorious setting for kiltmaking. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.

    I'm afraid I have nothing to do with the choice of Milady's customers ! although it is a great looking tartan !

    I see you and the dog have your priorities set correctly, relaxing while the Lady toils relentlessly.
    I always believed that prunes were dried plums so I take it these are plum trees in your garden?

    Hello Ancienne Alliance, how are you.
    Hope Lady Chrystel gets a holiday, she
    works so hard at the delight of her
    customers.
    Kind wishes.

    Robert, that is a very bold tartan, simple yet elegant - can you tell us what it is?

    Regards

    Yes, of course. It's a very impressive Elliot Ancient (13 oz ; Old & Rare)
