Mid-life madness

Porcelain dolls I have dressed and or painted.

I picked up this brochure at the 2021 Good Sam showcase of Miniatures. I was hoping he had a website, but I found nothing. Anyway, I thought this might be of interest to some of our members .

This is an album of porcelain dolls I have created or made from kits. Some of their faces are painted by me.
Wycked Wood from this site and Dana Burton inspire me.

I can never say that Las Vegas is the dollhouse desert because I stumbled upon a rare beauty. She is a purple behemoth at the moment. The seller said someone gave it to his daughter and she has been playing with it, but they are moving and it needs to go. She looked sad when I carried it away, and I felt bad for her. I feel happy for the house, because I will take loving care of it.

This is a complete kit by Cynthia Howe that I bought about 2 years ago. It is electrified and everything was included in the kit. This was the best diversion during the early stages of the quarantine. No thinking, just follow the directions. It was really satifying!

I traveled to Dallas this past weekend and met up with Colleen @1martinimomma . We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We made some great minis and shopped til we dropped!

The exterior of this house always shows up on Pintrest, but I never could find any information about it. I bought some out of print mini magazines and the house was featured in Dollhouse Miniatures Dec 2000 edition. I almost didn't recognize the house as the pages have a yellow hue, and the interior wasn't at all what I expected after drooling over the exterior for months. It is a gorgeous house. I hope you can read the article, as it is nice little write up.

Colonial, Georgian, The Willow,

I was on a bit of an upholstery kick a while back. These are some of my creations
