Happy Cinco de Mayo 2019

Veronica managed to land a spot in the mariachi band playing the maracas for the Cinco de Mayo celebration. She doesn't know much about music--or Mexico--but she couldn't miss the opportunity to wear that fantastic sombrero. 

I found the sombrero at Hobby Lobby. It's meant for 18" dolls, but I'm loving it on Blythe! I couldn't leave the store without it. This Blythe is Bow Wow Trad. The maracas came in a set of Barbie musical instruments that my friend Susan gave me. Thanks Susan! 

Cinco de Mayo 2018

She's Mexican for a day.

This Blythe doll is Bow Wow Trad. For the third time, I've made a Cinco de Mayo picture using the same background and the same dress, because I just don't have many Mexican-looking props! You can see the others here: 2016, 2015 (I guess I forgot to take a picture for it last year!)

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Cinco de Mayo commemorates the triumph of the Mexican army over the French at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. 
Just in case you wanted to know.

Okay, so, yes...this picture is very similar to the one I did last year for Cinco de Mayo. The same doll (Milky Way Sugar), wearing the same dress, in front of the same background. The guitar is a better prop than the felt taco she was holding last year, so that's an improvement! I was really out of ideas for this. Here's last year's photo, below.

Cinco de Mayo


Did someone say "Fiesta"??

Happy Cinco de Mayo to everyone!

This is Eve, my Milky Way Sugar Blythe doll. I was hoping to show her posing with some half-size souvenir maracas my husband brought back to me from a trip near the Mexican boarder, but I couldn't get Eve to hold them in any sort of convincing way.  So I had to go with the back-up plan: a felt taco.
