April Shower Doll Dresses!

Recently, on a thrifting excursion, I found these 

vintage Baby and Doll dresses.

As you'd expect they were dirty and rumpled.

After examining the dresses, I decided to use

my washing machine on the delicate cycle.

After a good wash and press all the dresses

are transformed!

HERE

THEY 

ARE!!

This first dress was perfect on Patsy Joan.

I have a couple dresses with

this style bodice.

Next is this sweet jacket on Ann!

Look at the detail on the sleeve!

The rest of the dresses fit my

20" Baby Dolls, Bonnie and Bella.

This white dress suites Bonnie's Dark hair.

I love this simple pink bonnet!

Pink is Bella's color.

This little play dress has lovely smocking.

Very sweet sleeve embroidery.

I love this blue dress.  The fabric is

like a very silky linen. Any ideas what 

type fabric this is?

The smocking is really pretty.

I believe this may be a night gown.

There are tiny embroidered roses in between

rows of fine lace.

Bonnie is precious in this little

 green gingham romper.

This little yellow play dress is so 

sweet and simple.

I love little details like this!

Well done everyone!

A Pony Adventure

Now for something completely different…

Elizabeth! Where are you going?

I heard ponies, and I'm going to find them!

OH, I better come with you!

C'mon then.

Where are you two going?

We heard ponies.

Oh, yes, they are over there.

Look up.

OK, thank you.

PONIES? ARE YOU UP THERE?

Hello, were you looking for us?

YES!

HEY, OVER HERE!

Oh, Hi Sophie.

I want to see the ponies too!

Go get Martin, he always helps me.

Hi Julie, we are looking for Martin.

Sophie needs his help.

Are you looking for Martin?

HEY MARTIN! COME DOWN HERE!

Well, I'm here what is it?

Sophie needs your help.

Oh, boy, now what?

Wait Sophie!

CATCH ME MARTIN!!

I hate it when you do that.

Is that all you needed me for?

Well, not exactly...

Can you help the ponies down please???

We're right up here.

Oh, geez, I shoulda known.

Be careful Martin.

Hmph.

Ok, you'll have to jump.

BUT ONE AT A TIME PLEASE!

Oof! You're heavier than you look!

(Giggle)

Keep catching them Martin!

Nice to meet you!

Oof! How many are there?

Just a few of us. 1,2,3,4...uh 14!

Just a few more, thanks!

When do you want me to help them back up?

OH, no need Martin, we're having

a sleepover party!

YAY!!

Huh? I mean wha...?

C'mon everybody climb up!

Umph, me last.

BEST DAY EVER!!!

Early next morning...

Clip clop, clip clop. 

Did you hear something?

Shh!

What was that?

I heard a noise!

TURN ON A LIGHT!

Clip clop, clip clop...

There it is again!

What if it's the bogey pony!?!

Don't be silly, there's no such thing.

Hello? Some nice ladies over there said some ponies

might be in here? I'm Minty.

Welcome MINTY!!!
