MY NEW BLYTHE!

my new blythe doll arrived last week. i already gave her bangs and changed two eye chips! she is a cutie! here are some pics for you to see! she is winsome willow.

recent creations

i have been crafting.. just forget to post pics here. so here are some recent things i've made!

now i'm reading...

my sister sent me 4 nicholas sparks books to borrow. so i finished the rescue. i really liked that one cause the woman has a disabled son like me..so i can relate!
so now i'm starting a bend in the road....

oops missed one

oops missed this! i saw this adorable little vintage box.. marked $1.00 and i said ahh how cute!....


then i opened it and to my surprise two vintage silk garters..likely from the 1920's were inside! so i snatched them up! hey only $1.00 how could i resist!

THE HUGE YARD INDOOR YARD SALE

we went to this horribly crowded indoor yard sale on saturday. when we got there the line was so long. so we left and went to the antique mall and came back to no line..weird huh? so i spent a fortune.. just look!


vintage skunk figurine. so cute. reminds me of something that happened when i was a little girl. cost $1.00.


vintage buttons. loved the colors and those very old mother of pearl ones. cost $4.00.


stack of vintage pictures. these are alot! i'll be keeping some and some will go to esty. cost 4.00.



vintage candy box.. cost $2.00 it has all of the candy names on the inside and these cute compartments! great to store embellishments i think!


vintage silk cushion. pincushion? i don't know.. but it's pretty cost .50 cents.

so as you can see i spent a fortune! i probably would have found more goodies but you could barely move in the place!

a gift from rima

sweet rima from willy nilly waterlily sent me this sweet gift! i was so surprised when she told me it would be coming! two of her sweet apron dresses for blythe! as you can see olivia has claimed the one with the cute piggies! willow will get the sweet floral one when she arrives! as usual they are super well made and adorable! thank you so much rima! you really are the best and the sweetest!

i got my fun swap from my sister amy last week. so behind on everything! this time the theme was roses. she send a bunch of rose stuffs and some spring time things.. two things are missing from the pics.. rose printed papers..they wouldn't lay flat! and an owl stamp..that mikey hid from me!
