4th of July Weekend

Happy 4th of July. I've been busy with so much lately that I haven't been posting much. 

Please enjoy some displays from previous years.

Happy Holidays 2020

 Happy Holidays!

Be like Evi, and enjoy a sedate, socially distanced holiday season. (Alcohol optional.)

Thanksgiving 2020

Happy Thanksgiving from my home to yours.

I am thankful for a loving family.

I am thankful for a family of friends.

I am thankful for the joy that cats bring to my life.

I am thankful that dolls can bring so many different people together.

And I am thankful that my loved ones have stayed healthy during this difficult time.

Stay safe, and enjoy the holiday.

A Caribbean Autumn

 Now that Halloween has passed, it is time for a new Autumn display. I put a few pumpkins on the table, including the two orange pumpkins that I liberated from my mother's basement.

The little tourist dolls in the photo were a recent thrift shop find. They were all in one tightly packed bag. When I got them home and opened up the bag, I was happy to discover that there were four dolls in all.

The doll on top of the pumpkin is on a straw-cone base, while the one in front of the pumpkin in the extravagant dress has a full stuffed body and legs.

These two dolls are topsy-turvy dolls, meaning that they have two heads and two torsos. When you flip them over and pull the skirt down, the other half of the doll is revealed.

Here they are when flipped over.

I stood them up against the pumpkins to get a good look at them, and realized they look really nice as the Fall display. What do you think?
