The night Before Christmas...

Everyone look!

The Christmas tree is up!

Oooo, so pretty.

Ann, read us a Christmas story,

PLEEEEASE?

Alright, which book?

A Christmas Carol!

"Scrooge was his sole executor, his sole 

friend and sole mourner."

I want to see the pictures.

"On Christmas Eve - old Scrooge

sat busy in his counting-house."

(reading, reading, reading)

""Are you the spirit whose coming was foretold to me?"

Asked Scrooge."

(reading, reading, reading)

"Scrooge was better than his word.  

He did it all and infinitely more"

"God bless us everyone! Said Tiny Tim."

All right time for bed, Santa will be here soon!

Good night Ann.

Good night Patsy.

Good night Joan and Charlotte.

And to all a good night.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Glamour Girl's Christmas

Cissy, Emily and Marylou are having their own

Christmas celebration.

Complete with Gingerbread cookies, hot

chocolate and candy canes.

This little guy came to join the party.

And look! He brought a friend.

The girls are all wearing Taffeta Christmas dresses.

Cissy is wearing a lovely forest green and black

Taffeta gown with black net and sparkly accents.

Emily is wearing a Royal blue and silver

Taffeta with a pilgrim collar.

Marylou is wearing a red plaid Taffeta 

with gold ribbon accents.

After their party the girls just want to 

put on comfy pajamas and relax in their apartment.

The girls have a new room arrangement.

A pretty pink tree.

A new rattan settee.

There is nothing like getting cozy with your pet and a book.

Emily is dozing.

Cissy and their poodle 'Cocoa'.

Everyone is pretty in pink

What a cozy and comfy end to the day.

JUST FOR FUN

Our friend Sandra has a new doll blog called:

Thimble Works Doll Room

A Sweet Surprise!

As most of you already know, I found 

Charlotte a few months back.

Charlotte's Homecoming

She came wearing this original dress.

The dress had these unusual butterfly sleeves.

And the dress closed at the shoulders.

My friend Karen suggested I make a pattern 

of this dress, as it was quite unique.

Here is the pattern for those who didn't get it before.

As a THANK YOU for sharing this

pattern, Karen said she would make a dress for Charlotte

AND

HERE

IT 

IS!!

Karen chose a vintage dimity with a sweet yellow rose pattern.

A yellow rose symbolizes friendship.

The ribbon is also vintage.

Look at the sweet beaded details around the bodice! 

There is a tiny bead inside each lace flower 

and spaced along the neckline.

Here is the sleeve with more beads.

The dress top is open and 

there is a snap closure on each shoulder.

Here is the back with  more bead details.

Another view showing the back pleat.

This dress will be treasured by Charlotte and I forever!

Thank you Karen!!

I love my new dress!

Hugs, 

Charlotte
