Wizard of Oz Kelly & Tommy set

This adorable little set came in the mail today. I found it on Mercari , a selling site and it was used but came with all of the accessories. Dorothy even had her basket, shoes, and Toto! Tin Man even had both his little ax and his oil can. They had all been displayed, hair was a little awry but they were in mint condition. I could not beat the price with free shipping. 

They are simply all adorable. My next move will to be purchasing tiny little stands for them. The lion fell a couple of times and I had to fish him out of my flower bed for this photo shoot. I wanted a yellow field/yellow brick road feel to this photo shoot and the wheat field across the road from my house gave that Kansas look/ to these little cuties. 

Tiny cars....

With the holiday season there are so many cute photos of dolls, doing holiday things.
One of my friends on Facebook and Flicker had purchased these Hallmark Kiddie car classics for her tiny bjd's. Of course, Wren had to have the happy jingle bells firetruck. 

She is sickenly cute in it, it matches her little pj's I made for her. I'm thinking of taking off her wig and putting a little green cap on that I made, and then she would match it. 

It also fits Tommy and Kelly, Liddle Kiddles and Felix Brownies or Puki Pukis.

Tommy didn't fit all the way in because of his shoes. The other Kiddie Classics fit the tiny dolls better. Here is an example of Amelia Thimble in kiddie classic 

Just too cute for words. Hallmark ornaments make great props for the tinies and also make great toys for a 1:6 scale toy shop.  I would love to do a 1:6 scale dollhouse/miniature shop in my town. sigh, so many dioramas to build, so little room!! 

Been very busy so it's been hard to take many Christmas photos, and I am reluctant to take down Santa's library/study just yet. I have wanted to do another video but during the week it will be tough. All for now-

Making Minis and I found Darrin!

Forgive the haphazard title. I have been working on some books for the dolls, and that has been what I have been doing for a couple of days. 
PLUS,I found the ever elusive hard to find Darrin! He was in my local Walmart and the LAST one. If they ever had them. Maybe they only come in one at a time. lol.

But back to mini Bookmaking. I belong to a group on Facebook called 
Paper Minis for 12 inch Fashion Dolls and the person who started it, Angel, created oodles of miniature book cover files. You can also upload your own paper mini files to the group as well. Over the weekend or on Monday I printed off a bunch of these onto cardstock. It has always been my intention to make bookshelves filled with books for an elaborate library. I love to read and so do my dolls. 
Here are some of the finished books.

I printed the files out onto regular cardstock, then used scraps of foamcore cut to fit the book covers and glued them, and let dry. I then coated the front, spine and back with triple thick to give the colors more pop and make the covers look glossy.  

the doll at the desk is my original Mini Me - or Mini Lisa. Her desk looks alot like my own out in the office- covered with books (mostly bills and paperwork and folders and computers in real life!)  and my 'real' desk is much larger, lol. Mini Lisa's desk looks more cleaner and fun then mine...Right now she is reading the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and like me, loves Egyptian history. 

Mini Lisa, Trixie, Darrin and Tommy are enjoying the Harry Potter books- they have the whole series. 

I had also made a long time ago reproduction Victorian Godey's ladies cards with matching envelopes and stationary paper, tied with silk ribbon for the desk. The envelopes were made with a crafty punch that I purchased online a few years ago and I still use. 

Here are the photos of Darrin in his package and size comparisons with Tommy:

He is much cuter withthe plastic hat off. His head is ok, but seems a little larger than Tommy's, and I dislike those teal boots/sneakers intensely. He looks too feminine for a boy- his sneakers should be white and the soccer ball on his shirt should not be pink!! Tommy on the right looks far more boyish and real looking to me than Darrin. He looks like a Chelsea with a short hair bob. I will probably be changing his shoes most definitely. 
Enjoy!
