New dolls and other goodies arrived this weekend....
Royal Treatment Veronique2015 online event doll and Techrat from Jem and the Holograms, a 2014 last W club exclusive doll, both arrived on Friday. I just got around to deboxing Techrat halfway this weekend. I took Veronique to my Barbie club for show and tell, still in her box- I still haven't deboxed her. I think I may save deboxing her for a special occasion for when I'm feeling down in the dumps. I sometimes do that. Save a special doll like this for deboxing. I have so many that aren't deboxed it helps.
This weekend I purchased two Cinderalla dolls at Walmart that were on sale for $13 each- the Fairy Godmother and Cinderella bride. The one in the blue dress, the one I really want was scanning at $30 so I put her back. I will try another walmart and see if she scans out at the sale price.
Annabelle also got in her new wig and it is adorable. It is a little more carrot blonde than I imagined from the photo on eBay but it makes me think of Buffy from Family affair, which is kind of endearing in a way. I had wanted a lighter blonde in keeping with Annabelle in the book who is 'fairer' in Tasha Tudor's drawings but this suits my Annabelle to a tee. She looks more rosey and cheerful with this color wig, kind of like a young Aunt Pittypat from Gone with the wind. lol.
I also got in the mail the Byer's choice croquet mallets I stumbled across on auction that are the perfect fit for Annabelle's scale! I have been wanting more than anything to make her a croquet outfit, but put it off because could not find the croquet set in her proper scale. Now that I have just to find the fabric which I saw a perfect blue and white striped seersucker at Hobby Lobby. One mallet is red and one is blue with the matching ball. I am going to make the matching hoops with wire and decorative tape.
The Gildebrief pattern books I ordered also came in the same time as her wig. I find it irritating on some sellers who print out a label and wait THREE freaking days to go to the post office. I ordered her wig and paid immediately yet it took this person until almost the middle of the week , Wednesday or Thursday to get it to the post office. I ordered my Gildebrief magazines on a Thursday and they were here within two days the same day as the wig, on a Saturday, from California to Virginia. Unbelievable. As soon as I paid they were shipped.
In these two issues they used the same pattern in a 2 part article of "1 governess and six cousins at a picnic, " with different variations of sleeves, belts, and pleats in the skirt, and one has a coat. The dress done in plaid is adorable and I was thinking of making one in a fall plaid for her like that one as I have a fall plaid in my stash, it is like a challis. Her croquet outfit would be a little more elaborate that will be another pattern, this is more simple, like a working dress.
Here are some pics of her with the croquet items-
Enjoy. I will have more photos as I wade through all of this. Techrat is incredibly hard to get his sneakers on! I am also going to try and blog on this blog every day in September, which will be hard, so here's hoping I can find something to blog about every day!! Lisa

Congradulation for your Techrat doll !
Been dying to see a Techrat, so thanks for that. Waiting for mine. Love your blog.
I will try and get photos of him uptoday, that is a goal. His shoes are the you know what. I need to set up a suitable spread for him to be photographed, these photos were awful, I apologize for that. He has another head!
Nice!!!!
Some sweet goodies!
thank you!
Lots of great goodies. That crochet set is adorable! I really like her new wig. You are right about the Buffy resemblance. I loved that show.
