Happy Memorial Day!

I am wishing everyone a Happy and safe Memorial Day. Not much going on here with the foggy and rainy weather. Here are some photos from the archives-- my hubcap and I are mainly planning for the Fourth of July 250th celebration- so that means lots of changing of costumes for the dolls! Here are some photos from the archives---

 

I hope you have enjoyed the photos. On another side note- no dolls for my birthday this year- but I enjoyed an absolutely wonderful seafood dinner planned and cooked by my husband, even down to the table settings and china. The china plates and salad plates were the pattern Le Richesses de la Mer and made in England, ordered off of Ebay, with scenes of Lobster, mussels, shrimp, oysters on the rim and center of the plates. The tablecloth was in a plaid pattern of red, white and blue with lobsters and scallop shells. He really planned it out- we had scallops cooked in garlic butter and shrimp steamed with old bay seasoning, both served with cocktail sauce. The lobster tails were also cooked with garlic butter and were served with melted butter and delicious- we also had coleslaw, french fries, and onion rings. Below are some of the photos of this wonderful dinner..

This is the lobster centerpiece- I think I purchased this at Hobby Lobby a few years ago..I display it on our cake plate 

Dinner plates & Salad plates side by side

there is one pattern on the dinner plate, and 3 or 4 patterns on the salad plates.

I hope you enjoyed the photos, and Happy Memorial Day!

May the Fourth be with You!

May the Fourth Be with You! In tribute to Star Wars (and us Trekkies too!)

 Also, today is a special tribute to Lewis Carroll- and Alice in Wonderland-

today Alice fell down the rabbit hole on May 4th, 1865.

Here is my little diorama from the archives with Alice-

Enjoy! 

Happy May Day

Happy May Day! and...Happy Birthday to me! I have  a few new goodies to show off here. But a message from the dolls to celebrate! 

 These photos are from the archives, done a few years ago. I really enjoy doing dioramas with the dolls. 

Now onto the new ones I have been acquiring!  

Back at Barbie Palooza, I had purchased Wedding Day Midge and Barbie bridesmaid. Recently, on Ebay I was lucky enough to get Wedding Day Alan the groom and Ken the Best Man, new in the box with good prices. 

The only two I now need to acquire are the Stacie and Todd flower girl and ring bearer. I wanted to watch my budget, but the wedding sets are so adorable. When I get that set then I can take more photos of them all in the box-AND then take pics of the dolls out of the box with the wedding day scenes for June I have planned.
