essie!!!!!

our friend essie is visiting from south africa right now to see friends and family and take a letterpress class in san francisco and we are SO excited!!!! we haven't seen her in 5 whole years! we were lucky enough to spend a good amount of time with her last week because dottie was on spring break from school and dottie has been missing her ever since. we had fun running all over town with her and dottie even got to come along to see her try wedding dresses on at marina morrison. every time she came out in a new dress, dottie would exclaim, "i like that one!". this morning at breakfast she said, "where's essie?". lucky for her we are going to see her at dinner tomorrow night!
