Hi everyone,
Linda Gronvall, from Minnesota sent me the sweetest picture…OF A DOLL IN A DRESS!!!
I know you will be excited!!
Hi Jeanne & George,
Thoughts and prayers for you both!
While digging in the fall decorations a few years ago, I was inspired to re-create a 50’s feel from my childhood. Remember these paper honeycomb decorations??? They folded flat but became 3-D when you opened them up. Every holiday had a different one… bunnies, pumpkins, snowmen, and a turkey for Thanksgiving! Kirsten is wearing a basic cotton school dress from Woolworth’s, (aka: Linda) black patin leather shoes, white anklets with lace and has her walking doll to play with.
Happy Thanksgiving to all the sofa sisters.
Linda
Isn’t Kirsten adorable in this dress? Thank you for sharing, Linda!!!
See everyone Monday!
Blessings, Jeanne
Kirsten certainly looks cute in her blue and yellow (Swedish colors!) striped dress. Did you make it, Linda? I like the “stripe play”–where the little vest part is cut with the stripes going the opposite direction of the rest of the dress, and have done that myself with a blouse and a dress in the past. And yes, I do remember the honeycomb tissue decorations. Let’s not forget the tissue bells, too, for bridal showers and such! I always thought the honeycomb tissue things were so pretty.
Tomorrow and Saturday are card-making days at our church; several of us ladies will attend. Hopefully I will have some more pictures to show like I did last time. I still have a couple of other pictures to get to Jeanne, too–hopefully this weekend!
What a darling picture of Kirsten, and looks so well taken care of! I love the colors of her dress, and the dress itself is perfect! My Molly would love it as well as the other 40’s girls!
Oh yes, I remember well, those tissue decorations! My wedding g shower had some big white bells as decorations, and yes, every holiday or occasion had some to pick from. I remember seeing a lot of them at the Hallmark store. That turkey is darling and I love how you set up your scene so lovingly! Thank you for sending to Jeanne, Linda!
Jeanne, I hope this weekend is a good one for you! Get ready for some really chilly weather! Soup, stew or chili is a good possibility for staying cozy and warm!
What a lovely doll, her dress is so beautiful and her hair looks as if it has never been touched! The Honey Comb pieces are so perfectly set around her. Thank you, Linda, and Jeanne for sharing the fun.
We are leaving for most of the day to visit with Peyton’s family. They come to our area twice a year. The place is a hunting/fishing place at a lake about 20 miles from us. His family has been going there since Peyton’s Grandfather signed up. We are going there to meet them for breakfast and a visit. We had a great time with Ronny when he wasn’t upstairs working. He left last night to visit his good friend down at St. Simons and they will be fishing today.
I hope you all have a great weekend, and Jeanne I hope you and George can have a restful time. Sending love and prayers.
