Good for your Choca, they are really special.  Isn't nice when you find something you just can't resist.  I can't wait to see where you put them, I know it will look fabulous.  Since your moving (ugh) don't want to do that again it will be a while until they find their home.  Good luck on the move, your smart to pack early and mark your boxes well.  It was the first time in a long time I knew where everything was.  Not now of cause.  LOL  Good Luck,  Dolly

Lori: re: wallpaper....I never buy less than three sheets. And depending on the pattern... I might buy FOUR.. just in case. 

I used a lot of scrapbook paper in the last two projects I did, which is another whole can of worms. ha.  However, it's easy to work with because it's stiff, compared to actual dollhouse wallpaper.

Wee was wearing only panties so i put her in the blue gingham dress from a plastic repro wee patsy. and i found a tiny heart necklace yaaay

 

 

Oooh, swoon drool thud... What a lovely group!!!

Congratulations on the Wee Patsy!! HOo ha!
I have a Wee Patsy as well; she is the one that came in a box with the Colleen Moore Dollhouse stuff on it, has her own little wardrobe and all.   

I really lost control at the doll show.   This is my Miss Dolly Schoenhut. She needs work, but she's solid and I got her for a good price. There are no chips or dings on her face.. I think some little girl just took extra good care of her and washed her facepaint away. LOL

hi everyone, in this heat who's wishing for winter already? LOL~  nearly half finished with August zoom...

Choca, your Miss Dolly sure looks happy AND excited to be safe in your hands!  how tall is she?

did you see the recent Schoenhut carved hair listings on ebay, gosh they will need a lot of restoration. s'one will know what to do.

by the way...there's another LG on ebay but the listing has her ID'd as Effanbee Suzette. i'm just watching to see price it fetches, i don't need need need another i'm very content with my little group.

the only other goodie i am watching is a cute Effanbee Patsyette, she has the bracelet and original buckle shoes.

price will prolly go too high for my pocketbook. plus i've already exceeded the "shelf space" i have limited myself. so i **sigh** won't be bidding

okaaaaaaaay i gotta go do some housework yeck...ugh... gotta look forward to a shower and nap afterwards yeah that'll motivate me.

G'day everyone~

Your little girls look fresh, clean and cheerful in their new outfits, Diane!!  LOVELY!!

Miss Dolly is 19" tall.  

I ordered her a new wig... so I'm waiting for that.

She'll have to be content with that for now, I think.  
I'm probably not going to be able to do anything else for her for awhile. Although....I can still get at my paints... so I COULD be tempted to work on her face a little.

(where are my brushes?? omg.  )  hahaha!

Starting to work on my 2nd Tin a little bit. (As Summer is ending??? Whats up with that?)

I'm having a tough time though, I recently purchased a bath set on e-bay, but it was the wrong scale. I just got back from a week in Maine  & was excited to find a multi dealer consignment shop that had two Tinnys in it. I just KNEW I would find furniture too! Well, I did, but was terribly disappointed that prices were high & condition was awful. The houses themselves were cheap in both booths I found them in, but the booth that had the furniture was waaaay out of line. All I really need to buy is a bed, & some bath furniture. I got all excited about a four poster, but two of the four posts were broken, missing legs, and still priced at $9. Not for me. They had other pieces, but they were either things I don't need, or in equally bad condition. 

Oh well. I guess the hunt is 1/2 the fun!

BMD,

Which tinny did you purchase? I'd love to see it! Any chance of a photo, or even if you just tell me which one I can "see" it!!!

Choca,

Here's a few pics of stuff I've done lately just to tide you over while your stuff is "resting" prior to your big move!

I painted and shabby chic'd the furtniture, and made matching stationery for the desk by copying the fabric onto paper. The pen is made from the tips of a bamboo toothpick and colord with a gold leaf marker. I painted and aged the oars too, which was great fun!

Toni!  Bravo Bravo Bravo~

Twanger,

Thank you ma'am!!! I'm all hooked on shabby chic cuz you don't haveta be too careful about how you paint, hee, hee!!! Fun!!!

Lori,

I do love this house!!!! I love the pops of color you added! It gives a room realism and life when everything is not all matchy matchy, which I USED to prefer! Now I like a room to look like real folks live there! This room is great and I still love that china on the pretty dining room table too!!!

hi everyone

Toni, fer'sure your inner artist is shining thru, because you could see the wonderful potential in those "before" pieces.

your color choices definitely evoke classic Shabby Chic, the off-white and soft pink, distressed in all the right places

way fab copying the fabric, genius idea

i luv that seagull too, perfect life-infused finishing touch

everything is lovely~

Wow! Youse guys always make me feel so good! I'm thrilled that you like my shabby chic stuff, it's been great fun to do!

Hey Choca! I can imagine you UN-packing some boxes looking for minis and paint and fabrics!!!! It's all my fault!!! Tell hubby I'm sorry, I just HAD to post those pics!!! G'head and do it, I'll come over and help clean up!!! Hee, hee!!!
