New Transportation for Wren...

My Realpuki Soso, Wren, has new transportation at Santa's workshop. Hallmark Kiddie Classic jingle bells fire truck I won off of ebay. These little kiddie classic car ornaments can be found on ebay and are not that expensive and perfect for tiny dolls. They also fit Tommy and Kelly, Liddle Kiddles and Felix Brownies or Puki Pukis.









It perfectly matches her striped Christmas pj's I made her, I might take off her wig and substitute a hat. Still have to sew the pom poms on her pjs'. Meanwhile , since the tinies were having fun with the new toy, the elves were hard at work in Santa's workshop.

Now Selling my dolls on Doll Pages!

As many of you may know, I have stopped selling on Ebay. I am not going to be listing my dolls on The Doll Pages . Click on the link and it will take you to my About me page and my listings. 

For right now, I have reduced the price on some of these convention dolls-
Le Smoking Adele, $150, Chrome Noir Erin , $150, Zing! & Oomph! Basic ITBE dolls $110.  I will combine shipping if purchasing more than one doll, and insure the dolls. 

I will be adding more convention dolls as soon as those photos are taken and processed. If you are looking for a GLOSS convention Fashion Royalty Intimate Reveal Agnes, Nuface Sensuous Affair Giselle, or Elise Jolie please let me know. You can Email me with your inquiries on price.

Gracie and her toys...







I have neglected my MSD sized Soulkid bjd for a long long time now, she has had no camera time. Gracie  is my model for my 1:3 and 1:4 scale doll foods, as are my American Girl dolls and my Sybarite Slipper. I have missed making my 1:3 scale foods and would like to get back to it after the Fashion Royalty convention.  I set up a photo shoot with her and some toys, especially one of my favorite props, that little quarter scale dollhouse which works great for my 1:6 scale bjd's and Chelseas. 
Hopefully I will have some new foods in the works, and more pics coming...

Dixie goes exploring...

I have sadly neglected Dixie lately....so I took her with me on a walk at Lewis Ginter Botanical gardens and took some photos. It is a fairytale place, with tons of nooks and crannies that pixies love to build their homes. I keep thinking when I walk there that I will see the Borrowers, or Beatrix Potter's characters, or mice building their little homes in roots of the trees...yeah- very active imagination I have!





These photos were taken on a 100 year old Elm Tree that the Gardens has preserved.



I have an account at Paperback Swap and recently acquired 'Midnight in the Dollhouse' which is a very good book for those that enjoy stories, any story, about dolls and dollhouses. I have quite a collection of books like this, and have enjoyed them all of my life, ever since I was a young kid sitting in front of my dollhouse creating and playing. My good friend Wendy of Norm's Dollhouse has a new blog- Midnight in the Dollhouse and this book is what I think her blog was named for- after she read the book. I saw her post on Facebook and got the book from paperback swap.


Paperback swap is a great place to swap out your old books in good condition, receive credits for books others have posted. You can even print postage from your computer on the site and it has directions for wrapping the books. I have a full bookshelf and am steadily cleaning out books I don't read anymore. I have belonged for a few years now and have found some great books. I have another book when the Dolls Woke and am looking forward to adding it to my dollhouse book collection. 

I will try to take some more pics of the tinies and hope you enjoy exploring Paperbackswap!

Quiet on the Set! Sunday Morning....

Shhh! They are filming!


I am watching and helping Lisa with the lighting of the doll town in the doll room. Lisa has been steadily organizing and you can read more about it on her blog The One Sixth Scale Dollhouse . She has come a long way in a few days on her doll room organization project. Here are some more pics...

I love watching filming on the set!



Back to us tinies, Well, it's about to get crowded in the one room dollhouse. Lisa found Miss Hitty in a pile of clothing in the other dollhouse, as well as Wren in a teacup! (I know...dolls in teacups and piles of fashion doll clothing! What next? ) So I may very well move out and let Hitty Darling live with Maizie and Wren and have my own room somewhere else. For those of you who don't know who Hitty Darling is, she is a small replica of a wooden doll from Hitty: the first Hundred years. There are lots and lots of Hitty Collectors out there. 

Here is a photo of Hitty with her little gingham dress and red cape on. She's really very nice and keeps us straight, and worries about us not eating home cooked meals since Maizie and I like ice cream and cake and hamburgers...but she makes great pies...that Hitty is a great pie maker! 

Oh well, later- and have a Happy Sunday!

The Doll Room...


Many of you might have been wondering where I have been. Haven't been on Facebook either. Most of the time, I have just been hanging around watching the dollhouse real estate get sold off. The human is organizing, and one of her problems is she can't bear to part with any of us dolls...and she also can't stop bringing new ones home. Mostly those fashion dolls who do not eat very much...
so Maizie, Minuette and I are the only tiny dolls hanging about. Wren is around, but she hangs out mostly with Marigold and she has all the work of Finch Express to do each day.


Here we are in the big dollhouse- the Manor.  That's where we have been stuck a good while while our new house is made ready.
So here I am hanging on the front porch.

It's ok, but the reason we are going to be squeezed into the old one room school house is because I just found out our nice house that has been remodeled, will now be the home of the vintage Dawn dolls.

Say what??? But since the other two big dollhouses have left, the schoolhouse is where we are at. Luckily there are beds and tables in plenty, just not houses.



It looks pretty dusty in there...it certainly is on this front porch! And the door has no doorknob!Guess we just go right on in...



There's some leftover items, but we can manage. For now. But Lisa has agreed to let me take back over the blogging thing, to keep me busy and out of her way. She has felt bad about not spending that much time with me, and has promised to make it up to me by taking me to a fairytale place with lots and lots of picture takinglI can hardly wait!

1:4 scale doll food on Etsy...

I have recently ventured into a larger scale with my doll food- 1:4 scale (suitable for MSD bjd's, Tonner, Sybarites, Cissy, etc.) Yesterday I listed two 1:4 scale items in my Etsy shop Pumpkinhillstudios  a set of 1/2 dozen glazed doughnuts- with one doughnut having a bite out of it- my doll Gracie could not resist warm doughnuts! And a set of two biscuits ,one open with melted butter pat on one half. Both come with free shipping.

I am hoping to do more in this scale as well as experiment with materials for more 1:3 scale foods. Stay tuned and bookmark my store!

I now have an account on Instagram please follow me, I do follow back! I sneak peek alot of my private commission work, and items I am working on for Etsy, Ebay and King William Miniatures there!

Also, have a safe and happy Fourth of July!
