Happy New Year!

 I got a little new year surprise today!   I was browsing through Pinterest and saw something that looked mighty familiar.   My  Home!  Photos from the  Better Homes and  Gardens Holiday Decorating from 2003 are up on their website under Vintage white decorating.  Its fun to see photos that didn't make it into the final spread.   Here is the link

 Vintage-white Christmas Decorating

Surprise to me!  Here is what it looks like today... a litle bit of swapping of outfits  but still largely the same!   

 Wishing you all a very Happy New Year and I am looking forward to fun things in 2012! xo N

Best Wishes for the Season

 A Happy  Christmas to you!     The last days have been a whrirlwind of family and baking and decorating and wrapping of secret surprises for everyone.   What a joy!   I love my family and friends and I wish all of you  everything  that you may ever hope and dream for!

 Decorating was simple this year... a new paper dress for my beloved santos doll

a new paper hat for my santos fragment...

A simple tree and greenery tucked in...

candlelight to give that warm and home-y glow.... 

just add family and friends and my world is complete!  Wishing all of you a very merry Holiday!!!

Doll Show recap...

Well,  who knew.... Doll people like dolls!  

It was a great day at the doll show yesterday with new collectors and loyal favorites.  Everyone was so kind and complimentary I had such an enjoyable day!  Here's a shot of my table....

       Thank you so much for  everyone who put the thought in my head.  Last May I spoke with the fabulous Nancy Wiley and she asked if I ever did doll shows and the ladies from the local doll club, some of whom I have known for years,  encouraged me to  try it...Actually I never thought about it and I always thought my dolls were too different to fit in.  Well, come to find out.. different is good!!  

 Thank you Nancy and  doll ladies!! It was wonderful! 

Also...   here are the last Halloween dolls of the season still available..

From left. Spelldora 18" SOLD  ,  Arachnia 22" 525- , and  Myrtle  12" SOLD
