Tulip

I met Tulip on Sunday at the Hollywood Farmers' Market Flea.
She is from London.

I loved her sherbet hued tye-dye dresses for children, cozy summer striped jersey tunics, and softest "vegan" fur vests, perfect layering items for L.A.

With that, she sent me off with some incense to burn...
What a generous gypset!
