LaBelle's windows at Valentine's day...





The windows for LaBelle's boutique in the doll town are done in pink and red and the shoppers are dressed in pink, rose red, black and it's all about the color of love.... Some of my lovelies are shopping and I wanted them all to match. Ever watch TV and wonder on some of these shows how they get the actress, the star, to just stand out from everybody else and it dawns on you, she's wearing a white dress while everyone else is wearing blue, black or some other drab color and her hair is angel blonde ??? Like, even the architecture is stone washed so it doesn't clash with the color of her eyes? That has always amazed me. I think it is wonders what photo shop can do, snicker. Especially in film, it draws our eyes and emotions even more to the storyline. So with these photos I tried to get the colors to tone and see if that played together just right. In the first photos, I made all of the French pastries, the St. Honore, the Religious pastries on the plate, the three tiered pink cake, I wanted to do a chocolate theme but it did not turn out like I wanted to, so I went with a pink theme which matched the clothing I had on hand. The chair and table are Bespaq. In the other window, I made the dress on the Barbie basics model, the end table is also Bespaq. The little felt hearts were so hard to find, they were at ACMoore. Nothing in the way of decoration fit and this is why it was so hard to decorate in a timely manner the way I wished. 

I hope to do some more 'romantic' type of scenes with the guys and have them up by tomorrow here. The cottage interior walls got more coats of white paint which I had to go out and pick up in my travels as I ran out. Won't bore you with more photos on the Extreme Kitbash until further along with more to see.




Hope you enjoyed the photos, and Happy Valentine's day!

I love this look for La Belle's. Great Valentine's Day shots. Have a lovely Valentine's Day. Will you and your Hubby do something special?

Thanks Phyllis! we have been busy with a large commercial project LeoPaul , our company has been working on and it has not been keeping to schedule, he has to go into to oversee it today and because one of the vendors- the city inspectors, dropped the ball, it has put the project behind the eight ball so to speak. This kind of stuff happens. I am going to cook a nice meal since he might be working late tonight.. and we will probably watch Downtown abbey and Grantchester, two of our favorites! I might try and get some valentine photos of the new guys I got at convention with my new ladies and maybe get some stripwood to work on the timbers for the medieval forest cottage if I get out today. Hope to have more Valentine photos up!
