“Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.” —from The Desiderata by Max Ehrmann
Don’t forget to wear a hat if you go outside today. The November weather is quite chilly in Blytheville.
This is Heavenly Strawberry wearing most of her stock outfit (the boots came from Nicky Lad). Her stock hat is a bit weird; it’s almost a complete sphere, and the only way I could get it to work is to tuck the bottom half inside. Even then, it won’t stay tucked by itself; I had to sew it in place. Now it’s cute! For the theme “Apples”.
“Come on, Vera! One, two, three, HEAVE-HO!” The first item on their list of things to buy with the money from the farm stand is: a donkey to pull the apple cart!
These two Neo Blythe dolls are Vera Florentine and Prima Dolly Cassis; riding in the cart is my newest Middie, Parson Grace. The background is a jigsaw puzzle I recently completed. This picture is for the theme “Apples” in the Blythe Pure and Simple group on Facebook.
Here comes Donna with another load of apples for the farm stand. She is such a hard worker!
This Blythe doll is Donna Doughnut, with a cute apple-themed wheelbarrow from the antique mall. This is one of the props that inspired me to do a month of “apple” photos.
It’s “All hands on deck” at the orchard when the apples are ripe! Devi always volunteers to run the farm stand.
This Blythe doll is Devi Delacour, posing with the cute farm stand I found at the antique mall. I found the gorgeous apple sculpture she’s holding there too (it’s by Jim Shore).
Strange but true: Strawberry reports that her favorite fruit is an apple, not a strawberry!!
This Blythe doll is Heavenly Strawberry, posing on a jigsaw puzzle. This picture serves two purposes: it kicks off this month of “Apple” themed pictures (hopefully I will be able to come up with 30 pictures for this) and it introduces my newest Blythe. Her hair is so bright and so, so thick! I absolutely LOVE the way her lip color perfectly matches her hair, and her blush does too. She’s a gem!
I love the cute graphics on her box!
We hope everyone has a great day full of spooky fun!
These Blythe dolls are Simply Mango and Simply Guava…I made an effort this month to use different dolls than I usually think of for Halloween, and different colors overall, so I’m quite pleased with this flat lay.
