Hello Dollies!

So I've been really busy around here sewing & thrifting. I made this dollie for my niece {1 of 5} so it looks as if I'll be tied up for the rest of my summer.... I 'm not complaining though I love to sew. What I really miss is scrap booking. All my supplies have been packed for a little over 1 year so therefore I don't really scrap much anymore. I can't wait to move and unpack all my goodies, boy I bet I'm going to feel like a 5 yr old on x-mas morning! heehee




she was so cute!! I finished her up in one day & she didn't even get to spend the night here with Miss Betty Lou. My niece & god-daughter Davina came over to visit that afternoon so she got to take her home. I really like the color of her hair. It was the only "girlie" color of felt I had on hand- but overall I really like her cheery colors perfect for Davina! I only have one problem My youngest Son Alec & Davina's little brother Daniel now want a "boy" doll. ....let's just say they're in the works.


A few Saturday's back I went to the Farmer's Market and got some yummy fruit & Flowers. These cherries were not only pretty but sweet.


and these sweet pea flowers smelled like heaven. I love this scent!





Isn't this little guy adorable!!! I picked him up last week during my lunch hour thrift finds. You know it's funny how much you can do in one hour! I know it's vintage but I'm not sure what exactly he was used for. Maybe a planter or some sort of holder because he's got the opening in the nose?? who knows. I have him perched on my kitchen window sill & he makes me smile when I'm doing the dishes. I've nick named him 'Roary'
I love him and for $1- I love him even more. I collect vintage planters like these I have about 10 already and I never pay more than a few bucks for them. I also have a large collection of Lady head vases. I'll have to show you them in a later post.


{Bambi} came home with me too along with other stuff.....


Well I don't know about you but I love the way brand new flip flops feel on my feet..
every summer I get a new pair(s) this year I got the lightest shade of pink. I love these from old navy and they were only 2 pairs for $5- about 2 mos ago. I wear them every where, they even feel better when you take your kids to the park to play & your sitting on the park bench with a good book.......ahhh summer, it's gotta be the best time of the year- next to x-mas.

I leave you with a long post & Miss Betty Lou, she has some flowers for you!
I named her after the {beautiful} late Ms. Betty Page & Lou is for Lucy Arnaz, cause well 'I love Lucy' & she's a red head!
hope you've enjoyed my babbles & such.
I'll be back soon to show you more of my lucky finds....oh yeah and the boy dolls.
