Amber does Fancy Nancy

No time for lamentation - but YIKES! February-March-April have not been kind months weather wise or health wise.

In spite of the nasties and the elminiations -

Let me present Studio Doll AMBER (my first and fave) dressed in clothes from Tonner (or was it Effanbee?) that were intended for Fancy Nancy but look wonderfully whimsical on Amber!!

THE POODLE - shoes were from a multi pack for Tonner's ME Ann Estelle


 
Who love sthe color PURPLE with a touch of ORANGE?!

Drearydom Larks - the dollhouse

"They" say the most appropriate way to store collectible dolls is NRFB in a climate controlled environment. If one must view the doll, an enclosed glass front display case/cabinet would suffice while keeping out dust and such. Well. I prefer constant doll viewing even if limited space requires me to submit to a swith doll display on my one Ikea book shelf.

Until now.

Rushing into CVS one day to replace my empty toothpaste tube (think the back-up tube was hiding with a NRFB doll somewhere) I stopped, spellbound by a product display unit intended for Halloween candy. The Drearys and the display case were made for each other. The perfect display prop for Drearydom Larks.
