A Wedding Dress, Something old and Something New

A Wedding Dress

As promised, here is the lovely gown I won from Felma in three different locations . The Bridal shop is finished for the most part. Save for replacing a couple of glass shelves that fell off the walls. I was concerned it might throw off the colors since I used the all white gowns I made some time ago for the rack.
 
Now I see the picture frames go nicely with it and I will replace a couple of white gowns for other shades of white or maybe even a bright color or black.  I thought the gown looked nice in the boutique also. Fashion wise, my daughter and I went back and forth until she decided maybe a pretty gown could fit into a store targeting younger women and I agreed.

The seamstress' work room looks a little contrived because it has been going back and forth between being a bathroom and a sewing room. It once was looking pretty nice with all of the Victorian posters etc on the walls as a sewing room. For some reason I want to have a bathroom in every house. For this house it would really do better as a sewing room, but then where would they do all of their...well you know...

(Click on pics so they will be a little more visible)

I chose the bridal shop
It looks a lot better up close

It didn't look too bad here because it was center stage like it was being highlighted.

I also like it here. If I had the room fixed up again with sewing notions, fabric and posters as well as other completed or clothes in progress projects it would really make a statement.

 

What do you think?
Thanks again Felma!

Something Old?
  

One of the things keeping me from minis these days is gardening. The season was pushed back a little because of the cold weather, so we must hurry to prepare the ground for my seedlings.

 My grands and I were preparing the garden when my granddaughter started yelling! She came across this while she was doing some digging! It was in a shallow grave in a spot I thought I had dug at least once before. She and my grandson are convinced she is a voodoo doll someone buried there. I have no memory of having this doll although that does not mean I didn't at some time.  Anywho here she is. No hair. No clothes. No identity. We don't know where she came from.

Now, the question is do I clean her up and give her a make over or give her a tour of the bottom of a landfill ("garbage" for my international followers)

 

 

Kind of  Creature From The  Black Lagoon-ish

Her smile is sweet, but her eyes are downright scary!

New High Tech Barbie- Good or Bad?

 

Here is an doll that just doesn't seem right. I like that this one has an average physique. I just don't think anything should be going over the internet by little children. There is always the chance the child can send something unsupervised. Anyway, who wants their child monitored by a stranger?

Giveaway Prize and Cat Rescue!

NOW FOR THE PRIZE REVEAL!

 

I won this fabulous dress from the give away at  dollhouseminiaturesbyfelma.blogspot.com/!

I know. Gorgeous right? I was so excited I said, " ok this is going in my bridal shop. Then, I thought wait, it could go into my boutique, now I am wondering, even though it is a little more modern, if I should put it in my Victorian seamstress' at-home sewing room. She is a little before her time. LOL I am sure it will tell me where it wants to go when it gets here. Oh, for joy, for joy!

 Thanks So Much Felma!!

 CAT-A-WHAT?

 

When I first saw this in the thrift store, I saw cute little kitty cats. Then I was horrified as I realized this was some kind of sadistic game. Can you believe anyone would have fun playing this? It is played by catapulting the little kitties through the air aimed at a target. I liked the kitties. so I  decided to buy and rescue them.

The catapult will be dismantled and used for parts. (sorry the pics are so dark. Still haven't learned to send Print Shopped pictures to Blogger once I edit them) 

 

Don't worry....they have all been adopted!
