Am I to old to play with dolls?

I really don't think I am too old for dolls...do you think I am? I am not talking the feed me, change me baby dolls type dolls or those slightly scary porcelain dolls ( that I had to sell at really great prices because they were scaring the bejeebies out of Rosey...we even kept them in a trunk so she couldn't see them)...anyay not those sorts of dolls...I am talking about these fabulous cloth dolls made by the ever amazingly talented ladies at Lilliput Loft .

These arrived the other day and as soon as they were out of their beautiful wrapping I took their photo...Alice in Wonderland and Little Red!!

I have grand plans for these sweeties with all sorts of tea party adventures planned...expect to see their sweet faces and groovy legs in some photos very soon...unless of course I am too old to play with them.

Mary Monday who is now 10 ( can you believe it!) wants them desperately for herself...and I said NO....but she can play dolls with me and you know I am sure that is way more exciting for her, someone to play with!

More bunnies, hearts and ticking.

I have been sewing bunnies madly this week and will be selling more on my Facebook page HERE  and if I get organised enough, on my Etsy site as well.

I seriously think a bunny is not just for Easter, I could look at them all year round. You can also see my current obsession with ticking and ongoing obsession with vintage crochet, lace and trims.

Goodness it is the weekend again, where did that time go and can you believe it next week is Easter, they have had the goodies out in the shops for so long, I think I got a bit blase and now it has snuck up on me and oh my goodness the children are on school holidays as of this afternoon..eeek.

Mind you the weather is a little bit fabulous at the moment, cooler mornings and evenings ( which means children might sleep in..huh!) and then it is blue skys and warm sunshine for the rest of the day ( oh ok so the rain does keep spoiling that bit every so often but most of the time it is lovely).

 

Hope you are having a wonderful day,

A little bottle of little buttons.

Nothing more, nothing less, just the cutest little bottle ( an old vanilla essence bottle I think) and the tiniest little buttons to go in it.

These are the things I waste my day on,

I love Ticking!

I am so loving Ticking at the moment and have been using it on everything as it is a wonderful weight and looks so crisp and fresh.

Luckily I have been able to feed my Ticking addiction with a steady supply of it from Fabric Traders .

This was my latest delivery...see I love it so much I took photos..the colours are so great!

Now to go and use it.

Perfectly pink roses.

A little simple view from the shelves of Lilly Cottage. The divine Rambling Rose tea cup and a stunning floral print on canvas in just the most perfect colour pink...aaah.

Relaxing Weekend Window Shopping.

Winding down from the weekend of window shopping, these things should make you feel a little more relaxed.

Birdcages, Paris and Owls Weekend Window Shopping.

The weekend is not quite over yet, have a little look at this corner of the shop...black and white..lovely.

 

I love that owl, he makes me smile everytime I see him, I don't know where he would go in more house but I love looking at him.

Tea Party Weekend Window shopping.

Having pretty tea things just makes you feel special I think..and having ones that say ' Keep Calm and Carry On' doesn't hurt either. I need ones that say..' Slow Down and Breathe deeply'   I wonder if that would work.

Hope you are enjoying the weekend of window shopping..still more to come.
