HI everyone,
We had “Christmas” last night (I know it’s early but it’s because my kids are here!) It was fun and fruitful… (I got a Hobby Lobby Gift Card from Rebecca!) One of my favorite places to shop (and dream!) We are hitting a few thrift shops tomorrow, and I’ll be doing some alterations for Rebecca!
Barbara is taking a turn today… This is what she wrote me…
Hi Jeanne,
I heard from Magalie Dawson this morning that my new Little Darling Sculpt #5 is ready to join our family. Her name is Julia Hélène. Isn’t she lovely. Her sister, L’il Dreamer Lynzi, arrived yesterday. I had to change the color of Julia’s hair because Magalie did not have the darker wig I initially wanted. I changed to this color because I like the color and the style. When Lynzi arrived I realized the two dolls had much the same coloring and looked like they were sisters so that’s the plan.
Barbara
Thanks Barbara… now we need to see Lynzi… I don’t think we have seen her yet… (have we?)
I also hope you don’t mind, Barbara, but I wanted to add someone else to your day because I missed her…
I missed posting Linda Gronvall’s email and pictures to me, so today I’m making it up to her. She sent this to me on Veteran’s Day!
Hi Jeanne,
My husband is a veteran and I was inspired to set up this shot today when the Flanders Field poem showed up on my social media…
Yes, it’s a 48 star flag, the kind that 1930’s Kit would be familiar with (and some of us readers!) She is wearing her poppy, a reminder of WWI soldiers.
Blessings,
Linda G from MN
Love watching you create the incredible doll clothes and enjoy the camaraderie of the sofa sisters. 😉
Okay, now I think I’m caught up on emails and pictures… if I missed you or your pictures, please let me know…
Have a wonderful weekend,
See you Monday,
Blessings, Jeanne
Oh, Jeanne, that’s one of my favorite kinds of presents–a HL gift card!! Enjoy spending it!!
And hopefully you’ll get some photos of your thrift store adventures to share, too? Hint hint!
Barbara, your new little girl is just wonderful. And what a pretty name, Julia Helene (sorry, I don’t know how to do the accent marks–I know there’s a way but….). My Pearl is by Magalie, too, and she certainly does a lovely job!
I hope you’ll share a picture of Lynzi, too!
Linda, thanks for sharing the poem, and also the picture of your Kit all ready for Veteran’s Day! Yes, I certainly remember when our flag only had 48 stars! And then for a few months it had 49 (Alaska) and after that, 50 (Hawaii).
I have gone thru and replied to everyone (I think) from yesterday’s blog. Thank you all for your kind comments. My toe is already feeling quite a bit better, the redness and swelling are receding, and it isn’t quite so painful as yesterday.
Jeanne, I htink we all would love a Hobby Lobby gift card!! Lucky you!
Barbara, your new little doll is darling and looks so perfectly dressed, which is always the way Magalie does her dolls! Is that Magalie’s picture or yours? Is she home with you? You must send a picture of both Julia Helene and Lynzi!
Linda, (love your name!), oh yes, your picture of Kit reminds me of my own pea coat I wore in fourth grade back in 1950! And the 48 star flag is one that I remember being in our classroom too! I have one that comes with Molly’s camping accessories, is that where you got yours? Love the poem and sentiment, so fitting for Veteran’s Day!
Thank you both for your pictures and Jeanne for showing them!
