Hooray for the Red, White, and Blue

Happy Independence Day, America!

Daphne (Candy Carnival), Charlotte (Precocious Candy's Mushroom), and Waverly (also Candy Carnival) show their patriotic side. I think I need to get a white-haired girl for next year's photo!

Daphne

This is my pretty Candy Carnival Blythe doll, Daphne, posing with my new favorite magazine, Daphne's Diary. I'm loving this magazine because it's full of interesting photos of interior spaces and lovely countryside which give me ideas for arranging objects in dolly photos. It also has a lot of little freebies...things like paper cut-outs that you can use in crafting, or that fold into an object, such as a tiny suitcase (Blythe-size! Yay!).

The magazine is printed in the United Kingdom, so it has a pleasantly "different" feel from all the American magazines that are carried in my local bookstore. It's also a little more expensive than the other magazines, but I really think it's worth it for the inspiration it gives me.

Here's the little suitcase. We also got a Middie-size stove out of a different issue. I'll show that off later.

Beat It!


Every time she uses her new kitchen appliance, Daphne hears her favorite Michael Jackson song over and over in her head.

Daphne is my Candy Carnival Blythe doll.

Daphne wanted a new dress to compliment the color of her hair, but she couldn't find anything in any of the stores. So she looked through her fabric stash, pulled out a needle and thread, and got busy making it herself!

She is Candy Carnival.

Oh dear...at least they have on decent panties.

Blue

Is it any wonder that Waverly and Daphne have a special fondness for blue?

Waverly and Daphne are Candy Carnival Blythe dolls (2005, SBL).

Milk That Cow!

Blythe-a-Day, Feb. 18, 2015 (Cows/milk)

Milking a cow is a lot of work, but Daphne discovered that is it totally worth it when she gets to enjoy that fresh milk!

The wonderful background in this picture is a painting done by my daughter Jenna (currently a student at the School of Art at Virginia Commonwealth University).

Hats on Twins

Here are those hats I couldn't find yesterday--Megipupu on the left, and Lalatroop on the right. They look great on my twins, Daphne and Waverly.

These dolls are Candy Carnival, which was released in 2005. They are identical in almost every way except for their bangs. Daphne, on the left, has bangs that are noticeably shorter and flatter than Waverly's.
