~DOLLS AND SUCH..~

Ok..I am going to take the plunge here.  I have struggled to figure this out for the past couple of days..and just kept messing it up...not to mention losing MY FAVORITE BLOGS!  I am still working on that and figured it out.  Just printed out the list..and then all I have to do is COPY EVERY BLASTED ONE OF THEM!!!!     (wow..I feel better now)  Did you know you could SHOUT on here.  Yep!  :)   

I don't really play with dolls.  Not really.  I like to  decorate with them..and I don't think I ever really got over  loving baby clothes.  That's all it is.  Anyway, I recently bought a lovely set of doll bedding for a pretty little cradle I found in a second hand store.  

The cradle fits this little doll exactly..so it was the one I chose to go with this bed.  She is vinyl and the little Grands can play with her...and no problem at all.

Dolls.  I think I am still trying to replace the toys and dolls I lost as a child.  I suppose that is part of it.

The bedding came in several layers.  The material is lovely..lots of lace and the color is the softest pinks.

The mattress has a lace cover on it..very soft and fits this little cradle perfectly.  Love it.

See?  Such pretty material.  Layers of ruffles.  It's probably the sort of thing I can make myself, and am just too blasted lazy to do it.  And, besides, I have a couple of little granddaughters that will love it in a couple of years.   Honest.  No, honest, I plan to give it to one of them.  As a matter of fact I have several dolls that I will give them.  :)

Isn't this the sweetest little cradle.  And, even if dolls and cradles and doll clothes aren't your thing...I doubt there are many women out there that don't at least like to look at them.  As I said, I like decorating a bit with them. 

I never gave my babies one of those things,  and here I am sticking one in the dolls mouth.

Have I named her.  Sure.  I call her "Pickle Poo"...yep.  I do!  LOL  LOL

This is a terrible post...but hey..by the way, am I the only one having a terrible time with this new..posting feature.  The writing starts in the middle...anyway.  What on earth has happened? 

My computer has been acting up...freezes and looks foggy.  Who knows.  This one isn't all that old...so..

We actually went out to garage sales this morning.  My sweet friend who was here to visit for a couple of days went with us.  I will let you see my finds tomorrow.  I didn't hit any jackpots..but it was really lots of fun.

Love and hugs..

p.s. did you notice that I hadn't figured out the "alignment thing" but I am not going to do it all over. 

p.p.s...  About playing with dolls.  I lied.  I do love to play with them, if you can call dressing them..and talking to them..and giving them an occassional hug... :)  Nuts?  Probably...  Now you know why I had so many babies...one..and I was hooked!!
