Back again...the dolls explore

I have been very very busy and haven't had much time to spend with the big dolls of Pumpkin Hill. Felicity, Becca, Kit and Gracie have been a little miffed with me lately. I found them 'exploring' the recent items I have been creating for the 1:6 scale divas of Barbietown, and hope they were not jealous...Becca of course, incited the rest of them ..

Hey you two! Where is Kit?
"I dunno, why?' asked Felicity.
"The human is at it again!"
"What now?" asked Gracie
"She's creating stuff for THOSE diva dolls in that town!" Becca said...
"...C'MON I'll show you!"
so Kit came along, but Gracie and Felicity declined, I guess that antique chase lounge is comfy..

Kit and Becca surveyed the W club doll, Vanessa reclinging on the new custom bed I had created..when she awoke and went 'ACK! GIANT DOLLS!'
...thereby scaring Becca, who also yelled' Diva doll is awake!'
Kit went..."she never makes cool beds like this for US!'
Vanessa is still yelling "ACK!" (I would too if I had giant dolls standing by my bed-)
Becca -'I told you she has been building for The One Sixth Scale Dollhouse again! And that town has gotten BIGGER!'
Kit shrugged her shoulders, and turned to go back to chatting with the other dolls- she has been sitting on the dolls' bed in the human's room, and hasn't had much company lately.

She and Rebecca did insist on a photo of she and Rebecca posing with their mini American Girl co-horts who live in Barbietown...the mini dolls are wearing Re-ment cheerleader outfits that match!

I also explained to Becca that I have been extremely busy listing on Ebay as well as working on custom items for dolls.

When she saw the great pile of boxes of product waiting to be shipped, she was more forgiving. But she did promise me to start making more items for Etsy store especially since Halloween is coming up and I have all of those doll masks. So I did promise.

Please be sure to check the new items up on our Ebay auctions and in our Ebay store as well as I am currently working on  my handmade items from Atelier Lisa for the Etsy store. I have been brainstorming and hoping to move some of these items, so stay tuned for more. Right now I have four listings up, but hope to have more items up soon.

Note: the chaise the dolls sit on in my home is an antique children's chaise lounge that I purchased at an antique store about a year ago- it used to reside in our doll and dollhouse shop where my porcelain dolls were used as a display, quite marvelous. Everyone wished to buy it but not at the price it was worth- it has a swan head on the arm in the carving, simply lovely. So I didn't sell it and brought it home and the AG's and Gracie all love it. It sits in my den near the window and other miniature displays as well as my photo table and the tv...

Will have more pics later when I get the dolls into new outfits and all...

Felicity, Felicity...

I have sadly neglected Felicity lately....and imagine my surprise on AGPT forum when I found out her birthday just recently passed! With me as big of a fan as Felicity as I am- and I live 45 minutes from Williamsburg!

To atone for this somewhat, I have started paying attention to her, and mini Felicity as well. So here are some pics of Felicity I took today, hopefully we'll be able to do something special on MY birthday- May 1st...

I thought I captured the real character of Felicity from the books- climbing on the roof and eating apples to hide from her little sister. Can't remember the story now but it made me smile because I had climbed trees when I was young too. I hope to take more pics later of her, with the other girls too.

Catching up...

Not much is going on in the Pumpkin Patch, Rebecca (aka Becca2012) has not done any time traveling and most of the activity in the 'Patch has been done in 1:6 scale- with the current building of Barbietown. However, our mini American Girl dolls have been getting some new clothes and mini Rebecca also got some shoes!
Big Rebecca had on her new dress bought for her on Ebay- blue is such a pretty color and decided to recline on the antique swan chaise lounge the big dolls use. I made the needlepoint pillow.

I have also included some pictures from Easter, with Mini Kit, Mini Emily and the other dolls in the 1:6 scale dollhouse celebrating Easter. Enjoy!

Dixie here.........March news from the Pumpkin Patch...

Hi there. Dixie here. Boy do I have alot of stuff to report on in the Pumpkin Patch here at Pumpkin Hill.........

My co-hort here, Lisa who's in charge of us dolls....well, alot of dolls have left the Pumpkin Patch. Most left by way of Ebay....something about 'needing more room' is what she kept saying. Needless to say, alot of furniture and props us dolls were not using left this way too....

As you can see, I'm reporting on this from on top of the The One Sixth Scale Dollhouse where the fashion doll divas live........sigh. As you can see, their picnic table is on top of the dollhouse, now called the 'terrace' or rooftop patio.....Lisa cleaned off a TON of stuff on the dollhouse, and moved Skipper and Kelly's bedroom diorama to another shelf.

It's quiet up here, considering how much building is going on...I can see my house from here. Duke is here with me too.
Well, the news is the Patch is got a whole bunch of new buildings or 'dioramas' as Lisa calls them, including a whole 'town' or street of shops for these noisy fashion doll divas......seems they kind of like to shop.  The town of Pumpkin Hill now has a 1:6 scale McDonald's restuarant! I went there to sample the food...they are still under construction- need the floor tile laid, etc. but bunches of dolls go there to eat, just like me.

I kind of like it...but I love burgers! and the ice cream too!

As you can see, some of the other dolls do not know what to think of me...especially Grandma Barbie over there...because I'm small and all.

We celebrated Hinamatsuri recently here at the Patch, here is our set in the Japanese room. Miss Happiness loves setting up the scene. We also had tea for the tea ceremony. Miss Happiness taught me all about tea, the dolls and more. It was fun.
But back to the town...Here are some shots of me in front of the shop front that is going to be a cafe...

As you can see, ALOT of building in 1:6 scale has been going on, and these divas are just loving it! They are talking about a boutique that is coming soon where that brick wall is...construction is still going on...the worker dolls start EARLY in the morning, I usually get up when the contractors get up here...

Here is a shot of what the town looks like.....so far. From the rooftop terrace.
Well, more later after I finish my burger! Thank you for following my Facebook page!
Siging off down South, Dixie
