Whew, I finally finished....A bunch of kids, chaos and a deadline! My kids are out of school, my daughter came home from college for the summer and a few extra friends and cousins. I do enjoy creating and making things, but sometimes I forget to enjoy the process....finding the balance in chaos....
I joined a group of women who were making Toy Theatres. They are going to put them into a book form.
I can't wait to see everyones creation when they are all completed together...
Well, call me crazy. I am already thinking about creating my next one. It was so much fun and I learned alot
about one of my passions, Costuming and fashion....Happy Wednesday Pinkie
You have outdone yourself! This is so nice. I'm really anxious too to see what everybody comes up with and all of them together!

Thanks for visiting me, Pinkie! I just finished going thru your WHOLE BLOG! It is so beautiful and has such wonderful and loving articles. How very blessed you are to have such a loving, talented, supportive family.
I also wanted to comment on the post about the Romantic Homes article that you saved, then met the woman who's restaurant it was--I have to tell you--I've saved that article myself, in hopes to maybe one day open an antique store/tea room! I want the tea room to look like that!!
I've been to the "WX" as the dealers call it (the antique market under the freeway)..It's the first Sunday of the month...maybe you could plan in advance and get someone to cover for your class? It's a good one and about the fourth size of Alameda--I didn't even finish that one!!
Anyway, could you email me sometime, please? I'd love to chat more, and I can't access your email..
Blessings,
Myrna

It is beautiful Pinkie and will be admired by all.I adore the use of pink (of course) and the trim that you added to the hem of the gowns making each lovely lass more tantalizing.The daylight that peeks through the side panels gives it a natural lighting effect. I love it!

Very beautiful blog. I was given this blog by the writer of the article about Mary Hubbard's house. I fell in love with it in Romantic Homes. Is she your mom? Where can I see more pictures of her house? I've been looking through your blog but I'm not sure if they're your home or her home or what, they're all great. Diane

We don't know each other yet but I had to tell you that it was pure eye candy to visit your blog. Everything is so Victorian, which I love. Your crowns and theatres are fabulous. I've never seen a theatre before. I like that you can have all your beauties out for everyone to see, it's a Victorian wonderland.
Hugs
