Doll Therapy

This is number 1 on my list to Santa..Along with her ultra girly party accessories, Ce'cile dressed for the masqurade ball is at the top of many Xmas list.

After the smoke cleared about 10 am..I set out to one of my secret designer spots and found some deals at 50 percent off .I found this chair that will be upcyycled for Addy....Then I went across town to meet up with a lady who was selling part of a relatives collection..Addys limited ed. Stilt suit..15 bucks..and school desk 50 BUCKS...I feel good when ever I can score a sweet deal..Stay tunend to see that psychodelic ol' chair become a nice period piece for Addy or any other American Girl Doll. Funky Old Black Friday Bargain Upcycled Chair for American Girl Doll ! (A lil black paint and country sun goes a long way)

I'm sure there have been times where you run into people who think its very weird to collect dolls and even more strange if you admit to playing with them.When I tell people about my collection and show them pictures, most seem to be very intrigued. I recently submitted an idea for a continuing education class at a local university, much to my surprise the class has been picked up and will be offered in the Spring.. Its called Modern Doll Collecting I am the brainchild behind this idea to spread the love for collecting to a new generation of people and to continue connecting with those who have enjoyed this hobby. I plan to create an intermediate course and advance course in the near future... wish me luck!

Addy in front of the American Flag                                       I used an epoxy to adhere the tin and wood                           A cut out of a window with real dried flowers hanging A pie cabinet with a sweet potato pie     I want to welcome everyone to my Doll Party.  This is the place were we hang out and I get to share my doll collection and projects.  Today, I'm posting pics of an American Girl Cabin for Addy, I made a few weeks ago. I used an old dresser, wallpaper that looked like aged wood,galvanized tin and furniture purchased from Hobby Lobby. I made the sweet potato pie, farm eggs and watermelon all by myself
