Introducing: Kitschy Animals II Magnets Set

Finally!!! Kitschy Animals II! magnets!




Doll of the Day Returns (once again*)

Today I share Miranda! My super tall pose doll-like cloth doll. She's super fanstastic (a long time YJA find). I just love her - she's like super huge vintage Barbie. She was a little forgotten up there high on the doll shelves so she enjoyed today's attention.


*Doll of the Day is back!! ...I gave up on sunshine!?! I miss my daily doll ritual and so I've decided I can take photos indoors until it returns. It's been 10 days of clouds and rain - with the sun peeking out hear and there but by the time I get out there it is gone. (However, I do love the rain but my cloth dollies do not.)

Shop 66 - Artfire Shop

Rain, Rain (please) go away....

Sometimes I think I live in the rain forest!?! Not only do I live on the coast, I live in the humid South and when it rains, it rains and rains and rains. It started with two intense day of scattered thunderstorms and now it's not stopped raining for about 24 hours. We do need the moisture here but I really, really miss sunshine!! :) (Doll of the Day will return once there's light again...)

In the Shop: 1st Two Paper Doll Sets






Sneak Peek: Handcut Paper Doll Sets

Because I have lots of cute vintage paper dolls in my stationery collection, I've decided to share some of them in the following way: limited edition* handcut sets. This first edition is of an early 1950's "family" of paper dolls. Each family member with their wardrobe will be available for purchase. All handcut and ready for play. Look for the first few dolls to debut tonight (sister and little sister...then brother, mother and father will follow).

* Limited edition in quantity: 12 sets/packs only. This is due to the unknown status of the dolls origin, respect for the artist and for international copyright. Like my other reproduction items, they will not be available for wholesale either.
