I found out through Donna O'Brien's blog The Ribboned Crown http://donnaobrien.typepad.com/ , that today is doll sharing day at Lori's blog Faerie Window. http://faeirewindow.blogspot.com/
The closest things to dolls that I have to share are, my antique dress form Isabella Crane, and a small collection of Chatty Cathy shoes.
Donna assures me that anything relating to dolls, doll parts etc. qualify.
So this is my show and tell for the day. I'm sure you have seen Isabella before on several posts.
She keeps me company in my office/studio, while I work on my many art projects.
I have to blame, well blame is too harsh of a word, Andrea from 100 wishes, ever since I saw a Chatty Cathy shoe on her blog, I have started a small collection. I think the velvet with the flowers on the shoes are adorable. I love the colors.
So that is my little tribute to dolls today. I have to go and get busy with my glitter, and glue now. Just wanted to check in, and say hi. If you have anything doll related, go and visit Lori.My 1 year blogaversary is coming up later this month, so lookout for a giveaway soon.
Have a great day!
Rosemary

I had a Chatty Cathy doll when I was little - I really preferred horses so she didn't get played with much. The only other doll I can remember having was a Shirley Temple doll in a plaid dress. ::Jill
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI did not know that the adorable shoe was Chatty Kathy's! It is beautiful! I can see why a collection IS necessary : )
Hugs,
Mary
