Riding in style

I know, I know you have not heard from me in a few weeks except for the note a couple of days ago. Now here I am posting two posts in one day.

It stopped raining so I quickly got these shots. I hope you enjoy this post and the one before it.

Recently, I saw this in a thrift shop. Oh, I thought, this looks just right for one of my doll families. With a little paint it will look very realistic or maybe no paint. It even makes sounds!


Just right for hauling,  yet kind of cute!

Relaxing and enjoing the view through the sunroof

A few of my grands who happened to be with me shouted OOOO a Dora car! "Dora?", I said.
"This is by Mattel!"
Well, closer inspection and the grandchildren's wisdom along the Dora themed colors revealed that was just what it was. And yes Mattel makes Dora products.



Yep, Dora alright! (please don't ask me why that tape is there. I don't know lol)


Looking under the bush

Last Sunday I packed my daughter and three of my grandaughters in the car. We went to Charlotte North Carolina to the National Convention of National Association of Miniature Enthusiasts' (NAME) public day. More about that later.

I was also looking for a package of bushes that are sold at Joann's craft store. I read about them in one of my yahoo groups. I called Joanne's craft store in Charlotte. Bingo! They had them.I had just the right place for them in my dollstory town.  So, I made two trips in one.

Here are pictures showing why I wanted them:

I already had a  flat mini sized map.





There are also places to put stones and flowers


This shows some of the assorted bush types which happen to match the ones on the map. Notice the ferns.


The bushes come in a pack of nine. They are a slightly larger  than a golf ball.
 These bushes glued on with a few stones and flowers will make the "park" three dimensional. Just right for a relaxing dolly walk.

Rain, rain...please call before you come

Hey everybody!

I have three ways to make it rain.

1). Wash my car
2.) Water my garden
3.) Plan to work on minis outside

Today, I did numbers two and three. Wow, look at it pour! lol I will be back in a little while with another post after I do some indoor stuff.
