brought home just a few goodies from the doll show. got strawberry shortcake lem twin for my ada who was alone here for a long time!, a blue wig for my kemi doll, the whole mushroom rement set and brought home the sweetest bear from my friend donna hager. her name is milly and she is beautiful! i love the pastels colors! thank you so much donna!

swap from brendi dolls!

i received this sweet raggedy ann from brendidolls on saturday. isn't she sweet? her face is all hand painted and the stripes on her legs. she is big too! be sure to go visit her shop! thank you so much!

who was freida?

i found this antique picture at a resale store store. marked freida on the back. i wonder who she was.. any thoughts?

antique mall find

i found this adorable antique baby shoe at the antique on sunday. it was the only thing i bought and it was only a couple dollars. but it is just too cute! with the handmade sole. i just love it! it is just 4 inches long!

doll and bear show

went to the doll and bears show on sunday also and it was alot of fun. i brought home a few goodies and here are some pics. i meant to take more but kinda forgot i guess! the bunny is a cool handmade bunny that i liked but it was $500.00! so i couldn't get him. the bears are by my friend donna hager. aren't they beautiful!

antique mall

we went to an antique mall after the doll show. we used to go to this one frequently but haven't been there for a couple years! but it was still open. and it was fun to look around for awhile. i only bought one thing. will show that later. but here are some random pics i took while i was there. enjoy!

the kindness of strangers....

sometimes i am very surprised by the kindness of strangers. i guess i shouldn't be. i am the same way. i give away little trinkets with every order i send out. i do pif and have given away countless scarves and dishcloths. a couple years back i gave away a reborn baby doll i made to a sweet lady who love it so much. i gave a bag of dolls to a little girl down the street..boy was she excited! i really like giving gifts.
so yesterday it happened to me! a sweet fellow etsy seller hapslappy sent me a convo letting me know she was sending me a surprise. another etsy user wanted to do a pif and hapslappy picked me! cause she knew i loved one of her dollies! so i am getting sweet taffy! remember her from my wish list?
i fell in love with her as soon as i saw her but just couldn't buy her right now. so i am was so excited.
so then i find out this same mystery lady wants to give me another gift.. another doll. and this is a super special doll that i could never be able to adopt myself. i will show when she arrives.

so thank you so very much! to both hapslappy and the sweet stranger out there! i guess someone out there knew i needed a pick me up!

i did it!

i am rather computer challenged so i have never downloaded any music and certainly never burned a cd.. so i was determined to do it! so today i used pepsi points to get pink's "so what" single and actually managed to burn it onto a cd! so i am feeling kinda proud of that!
feeling better now. hopefully things will be good this weekend. planning to go to a doll show on sunday so that'll be fun!

sad....

i really wanted this blog to be a happy place. no crying or sad stories. but something happened on wed that is still bothering me today.
for those who don't know i have a son who is 5 and has autism. we i don't want to go into alot of details but on wed he threw a major tantrum. this can be very difficult cause he cannot speak to tell me whats wrong.
this was a terrible tantrum and it lasted 1 1/2 hours and he banged his heads so many times that it was bruised and bit me on my arm.
and believe me i tried to stop him but he is very strong!
so i am feeling still today very sad about it but he was much better on thursday.
i dunno what caused it.. maybe he had a headache or didn't like what they wanted him to do at school. whatever it was i wish i knew so i could help next time. this isn't the first time...
so anyways to my internet friends.. i am here.. just feeling rather bummed right now.
huggs to all!
