Some New Treasure

As you probably know,

I love collecting beautiful artistmade

Treasures!

So,

as I've not had much of my own work to share lately,

I thought I'd share some photos

of recent additions to my collection.

Around Christmas time

Adelaide and Christopher

found they needed a new brother and sister.

From

Alliebean

This is

Little Dot,

about 2 3/4"long, squished into Midgets cot.

Adelaide has loaned her a play suit

but it's a trifle on the tight side!

Adelaide and Little Dot get on well together.

Next we have

Henry.

Also squished into Midgets cot.

He's not in the least concerned that he's 'naked'!

Henry and Christopher have something in common,

they both enjoy a good snooze!

I absolutely love Alicia's OOAK babies!

Next aquisition via ebay

is for the stable.

I'm gobsmacked by the craftsmanship of this set.

The riding crop is a perfect rendition.

That crash hat is silk lined!

And the boots are beautiful thin leather

made to appear well loved.....

I do love them!!!!

Then along came another exquisite

handmade miniature

to tantalise!

One of

Pamela Junks

little dollies.

Adelaide took one peek

and claimed her for her own.

And last but most certainly not least,

a recent exciting parcel arrived

from

Christine

I've loved Christines miniature toys

for a long time,

they're her own unique style

with such appealing little personalities.

This little bear spoke to me

and said it belonged with Midget!



Midget and Gidget

For the benefit of new readers,
the gown that Midget is wearing
was inspired by a Doris Thurlow design.


Today is the first day that feels like autumn,

Yay!!

Yippee!!

It feels soooo good :)

Enthusiasm returns,

get the camera out and

do some pics!!

A few weeks ago,

Midget

acquired a twin sister.

Her name is

Gidget!

(what else?)

Here they are together.

Gidget never cries.

Midget is a sweet natured baby too ;)

I really love these little ones!

Midget gave Gidget her christening layette to wear

while she waited patiently for some clothes.

Poor naked baby!

Meantime I started working out

a layette for Midget

using finer thread than the previous set

that I'd done as part of the swap for

Midget and Gidget.

With the finer thread I thought I'd try crocheting the entredeaux

instead of using the machine made type.

It turned out quite well,

a bit smaller than the bought version.

Here she is in her

"smalls".

In her petticoat.

And in her gown.

Not ready for a sleep?

Play time.
