HI everyone,
I am still not quite myself… this cough has taken over my life it seems. Every night I go to bed, I hope and pray it goes away… so far, it’s sticking around…but maybe tomorrow it will be gone! One of these days I’ll get that surprise! :o)
I have been taking it easy as easy can be… my hubby has done the dishes, gone for groceries, bought me ice cream, rubbed my throat with some tube of something he bought (kind of like Vick’s), done the laundry (but he’s been doing it for years and years, so that one doesn’t count, he’s been quite the trooper and with NO complaining. BUT, I think he’s tired of the coughing too!
I just did something simple the last couple of days… I listed some things in my Etsy shop that didn’t require any energy. I just had to move pictures around. I hope you’ll check it out. I still have other things I’d like to get listed… but so far, that’s what it is.
I Dream of Jeanne Marie Etsy Shop
I’ve received quite a few emails from some of you and need to get this posted… so we’ll start with Susette’s newest dolls… I’ll let her tell you about Kiki… She’s SO pretty.
I’ve been busy this morning. Ready for a show? First box:
Kiki: That’s the wig on the left. On the right is a genuine pyrography! I had seen the FrUpdayte by Derf about the art but didn’t realize that there would be a real one included with the doll. You can see the indentation where the heated pen has affected the paper. What a nice surprise! The jacket frogs were buttoned and extremely difficult to undo. I was picturing not being able to get them bottoned again but it was a breeze with a tweezers that has a flat “point” and it was the easiest part of dressing her. The dolls are just beautifully designed and constructed.
Susette also sent some pictures of her newly acquired little DAZZLE doll…she’s only 5.5″ tall and that’s smaller than my Bailey by My Meadow. She came with lots of different accessories… including a SEWING MACHINE… Look at these…and see what Susette says about them.
I give up. I’m using the platform for the Asian scenes. These are for comparison of sizes of the dolls. Ten Ping on the left, Dazzle in the middle and Mini Sara on her scooter. Don’t ask how many times she fell over before deciding to ride her scooter!
They are all in their original outfits except for Ten Ping. I made her dress shortly after I got her. Can’t remember about the scooter but might be something I found on TEMU long ago.
Still from Susette…. here’s something really fun…
When I was in high school, my best friend’s father serviced these machines and they had one in their basement. Russell (a RRFF doll) is sure having fun with this AG one! (Susette, I think it’s the perfect scale for him… and he sure is cute!) (The pinball machine is actually from American Girl’s Julie’s collection…70’s!)
I thought I was buying a sweater for Russell when I bought it, but it’s a printed pattern on a soft flannelette fabric. They sure matched it up perfectly at the back as well as the sleeves. You know how it bothers me when patterns don’t match!
A little bit more from Susette…
I saw this post on Facebook on an RRFF Fan Club (Official) website. Of course, I had to find one if possible! Entering Flower Pot on Michael’s website didn’t work. So I looked at the post by Christina Marie again and added Fairy Garden to Flower Pot and there it was. Dashed right down to Michael’s and picked one up. It would be a good one for beginners with fairy gardens. That’s tiny Dazzle who’s checking it out.
Well, thank you Susette… I know lots of ladies will be scouring over your pictures to see all the details. Your new kids sure are cute! Thanks so much for sharing what’s happening at your house!
I have these ladies pictures waiting in the wings… stay tuned…
Rosemary, Charlotte, Linda and Joy
See everyone tomorrow,
Blessings, Jeanne
I’m glad to hear you are starting to feel a bit better, Jeanne, and that George is taking such good care of you! Good, too, that you were able to get a few things listed in your Etsy shop. I’m wondering if those little hats would fit on our Dazzle dolls (it seems several of us got them)–perhaps you could measure the inner circumference (if you haven’t already–I just took a quick peek–to see if that might work for us.
Thanks, Susette, for sharing pictures with us. Your Kiki is lovely!!
I enjoyed seeing your display of your smaller dolls, too. So nice to have that kind of dedicated space where you an keep your dolls out on display so you can enjoy them every day.
Russell is just great–I have him, too–and the pinball machine is perfect with him. I expect he is becoming a real expert at pinball by now! His sweater is nice, too. Amazing that it’s not real knit, just printed on a base fabric, and yet it looks pretty and “real”!
Dazzle certainly looks cute on the fairy garden/flower pot! I wonder if she has planted anything there yet?!
Wow, Charlotte wrote first this Monday morning!
Susette, your pictures are wonderfully clear and full of such wonderful dolls plus the settings are perfect for Asian dolls! I love Kiki’s long, beautifully wavy hair! That’s amazing that a genuine pyrography was included with this set! Everything about this set is perfect, as is the darling little purse!
Your Dazzle doll looks so sweet with her little sewing machine! Now let’s see if she can see if she can sew!😉
Mini Sara is having a ball there on her bike, while Russell looks like he is doing what a lot of little boys love to do! That “sweater” is amazing!
The fairy garden flower pot is right up your alley, since you do have fairy gardens and also have a green thumb! I can’t wait to see what you do with it! Thank you for sending the picture, and Jeanne for showing them!
Jeanne, you are not alone in having a cough hang around. Yesterday at church, quite a few people were coughing, and I am finally getting over mine. Some are allergies, some colds and it always seems to happen during these days when the weather is turning from winter to spring. Cold one day and too warm the next, the all the rain! Hopefully, better days are ahead!
