Anthro Love

Have I mentioned lately how much I love Pipos dolls, lol.

I am so in love with them!

They are so charming, a little bit different, a bit quirky.

I'm thinking of a setting up a make believe rescue home for Pipos critters lol. "Quirky Critters Rescue Home" maybe? Or "Scary Claws Pet Rescue" ?

Basic
Curo
Heero
Grey Dali

Maid Loly Ringo
Jam Mouse

Gosh, I need to win lotto for all that lot!!! I can dream :o)

I seem to be quite taken with critters at the moment. I'm not sure why either. The shift away from dolls (dolls that look like people) has happened a bit. I could never get what all the fuss was about anthros before but now I love them, well Pipos ones anyway.

I've also just found darling little unicorns at Doll Factory. I really like the little white one with pink blushing. The purple one is also adorable.



Sylvanian Families are on my mind a lot too, since dear kittytoes wet my whistle for them with her link to the sylvanian gypsy caravan. I've always loved dollhouses and I'm seriously thinking of buying Sylvanian Families Willow Hall. It sounds a bit lazy but I like the idea of just buying a house that is already done, just buy the furniture sets you want and bung it in there, the lighting is done, just set it up and have fun. I just don't have the time to fiddle and fart around with a dollhouse from scratch, which is what I would be doing with the big one that is yet to be built (the one from my mum). And I know SF are probably not the most detailed of dollhouse stuff but I like it damn it, who cares what others think, lol. Oh and of course I'd need critters to put in there hehe. Badger family for the caravan. Maybe a rabbit and squirrel family for Willow Hall :o) Eeep I get so excited just thinking about it!! I'm such a big kid!!

Gypsy Love

Can't get gypsy caravans out of my head. If I can't have a big one maybe I could have a doll sized one lol. I have no idea how to work with wood, what am I thinking?

I remember when I was little living in England I was always really frightened of the gypsies and I think this was fueled by a very superstitious grandmother and mother. When the gypsies knocked on your door selling their wares you had to buy something otherwise they would put a curse on you lol. I remember they were always very dirty looking and they used to sleep under their caravans not in them even in the middle of freezing cold North England winters. They had dogs called Lurchers, I think they are a mix between greyhounds and other types of dogs, my aunty used to have one. Looking back now I can see they weren't scary, they just lived a different lifestyle to us.

Getting back to the caravans I just love the colours and the decoration. They look so happy and whimsical. And don't we all need a bit of whimsy in our lives :o)

I leave you with your daily dose of whimsy <3

Obsessions...

Gosh is it really Sunday already!? I lose track of time when we are on school holidays (which we are on now btw). So far it has been a really nice relaxing break. We've been to the movies, had friends over for a tea party and today we are supposed to be going out to the Kalamunda markets (if we can get our butts into gear that is).

My current obsession is Gypsy caravans. I saw one on ebay and it just melted my heart. Her name is Esmeralda, how gorgeous is that!!! Why is it if you name a car, or any sort of vehicle it takes on a whole personality and life of it's own, I just love that <3 Anyway back to Esmeralda, she is in the UK (of course) so there is no way I will be buying her, but have a look, she is beautiful.


I am trying to talk hubby into building a 1/2 scale one that the kids could play in as a cubby :o) I'd love a full size one in the garden if we had a bigger property. I think it would be nice to hang out in there,drink tea and read tarot cards lol.

Other obsessions...Pipos cheshires! As you know I put a Dark Cheshire on layaway with Piposland. Also on DoA I had an angel of a member pm me to pass on a link for a Minty cheshire on YJ. Low and behold I won her!!! I didn't want to say anything until I knew for certain I had won her and everything was ok. She is full set and in perfect condition. I am absolutely ecstatic!!! Hoping she will be here in a couple of weeks if not sooner. Hopefully some of my bit's on DoA will sell and I can pay off my little Dark cheshire too.

Another obsession at the moment is Etsy. I could spend hours on there (and do) just browsing around. I found two really wonderful artists on there that I love, The Snippets and Chicken Lips. They both make the most charming, whimsical sculptures that I have ever seen!! I'm always blown away by the amount of talented people on Etsy. There are so many crazily artistic people in this world that go unnoticed it just doesn't seem right.

Still obsessed with cuckoo clocks, can't seem to find one at a good price and also one that isn't too pretty to paint over. I did see Kaiser craft are releasing a chipboard cuckoo clock like this:


Maybe using one of those might be the way to go, though I still would like an actual cuckoo to pop out.

I'm back!

After a long time away I'm back :o) Well I haven't been totally gone, just over at lj but a few people I love on flickr are over here on blogger so I thought I would reactivate my old blog so I can follow their blogs here :o)

I will still continue to post at lj though, maybe I can figure a way for it to be streamed here too. Have to do some homework into that.

I Have Moved.............

I have moved my dolly blog here:

Sweet as Honey

Well after a nail biting wait that seemed to go on for eternity she has finally arrived.......

Meet Honey

Good Things Come To Those Who Wait

Oh my Lordy how true is that saying!!

Have a look at this little lady -

I have found my Honey.

Who is Honey you may ask? Well, when I bought Poppy (Pinky White Narae) I hoped that one day she might have a sister called Honey and preferably a Tanning Classic Narae. Well the Narae in the pic above is Tanning but she is an Open Eye not Classic, but hey who cares, look at her she is beautiful and she is the lovely creamy "older" Tanning resin colour.

So what sparked this sudden purchase. I found a Golden Beige Narae for sale on DOA at the end of last week I think it was. I was very tempted, she was lovely but I just wasn't sure about the Golden Beige resin, it's nice but looks a little yellow. Plus, I always had my heart set on Tanning. Anyway so I started reading the Narae thread and then noticed that Narindoll have changed their Tanning resin colour. It used to be a natural flesh tone colour and it seems now it is darker and has more of a greyish undertone. I was disappointed, I was planning on ordering a brand new doll from Dollfair at some stage, but the new resin turned me off.

So I thought maybe Golden Beige would be okay and of course by the time I decided this she had already sold.

So, that brings us to today. I decided that I would put a WTB in the marketplace for an older tanning Narae, classic or open eye. Before I was about to do this I thought I'll just have a quick check of the marketplace to see if there are any other naraes that have come up for sale. That's when I saw her!! I couldn't believe my eyes, swazini (Susan) was selling her beautiful tanning narae called Manon. I quickly sent a pm, but I was sure she was going to be sold already. To my surprise she hadn't sold!! Yay!! Thats karma for you :o))

Swazini (Susan) is who I bought the lovely Tindra from. Isn't that amazing. Susan, if you ever read this, I will take good care of your two girls I promise :o)
