audience loved the show and stamped their feet and clapped theirhands â the designs were such a refreshing change. Clara Hughson was thrilled with the result. She came out onto the stage and waited while more cheering went on, then presented Saffron and Bryony with bouquets of wild flowers.
âFirstly, Iâd like to let you know that I will be stocking the Freedom range in all my stores next season. Secondly, and most importantly, all my thanks for this real treat today go to Saffron Sage, British designer from Honeypot Hill, BryonySnow, fashion writer from
Buttons
and
Bows
, Berry Coleman, fashionista, Tallulah Melage, supermodel, and Poppy Cotton, fashion princess!â
Everyone on stage bowed and curtsied, including Orlando, who had played his own unique part in Fashion Week. Poppy twirled and danced to the music, which had started up again.
After the show Poppy and the girls had to pose for lots more photos. And then there were interviews with all the toppapers and TV channels. Poppy had never felt so important. She couldnât wait to tell her family and friends back in Honeypot Hill about her amazing adventure in New York.
As they all said goodbye to Clara, she produced an envelope for them.
âThank you so much for giving me back my faith in real fashion. Here are some tickets to
Cinderella
, performed by the New York City Ballet. It starts in two hours â I hope you can make it!â
Bryony thanked Clara for the tickets: everyone was thrilled. Saffron thanked her for giving them such a wonderful opportunity, and they said their final goodbyes.
They loaded all their stuff into some waiting cabs and headed back towards their hotel. Poppy couldnât wait for the ballet show. It was their final New Yorktreat, and she knew just what she was going to wear â the Liberty dress!
THE END
About the Author
Janey was born in Edinburgh and grew up by the seaside just outside the city. Janey published the first two Princess Poppy books herself (with her own illustrations) and the books were so popular that Random House Childrenâs Books soon bought the series and re-packaged the books. The series is now going from strength to strength, including picture books, activity books and sumptuous gift books. Janey has also written two Princess Poppy novels for young readers,
Pocket Money Princess
and
A True Princess,
both of which have been very successful.
Janey read English at Edinburgh University specializing in the Victorian novel. Following this she became a teacher â a career that she absolutely adored â and then, with her husband, set up The Jelly Club, which has become an extremely successful chain of childrenâs activity centres in Scotland. She still very much enjoys visiting schools and talking to children to find out what they like doing and what makes them laugh. Janey and her husband live in Edinburgh with their three sons.
