Sweets for the Sweet

 All your favorite treats are ready for pick up right now at Sweets for the Sweet!

This is my new girl, Minty Magic. Her hair was too greasy and frizzy to brush when she arrived, so I washed it in Dawn and dunked it in near-boiling water. When it dried, it was still unbrushable, so I did it again. This time, after I boiled water and took it off the heat, I dipped her hair in and out of the water five or six times, then finished with cold water. After drying, I could brush her hair, and it still has a lot of volume. I think she’s super cute and I love these special eye chips (they are described as “mint green” but they look more like mint blue to me!)

I don’t have any sort of store display cases, so for this picture I used two bookcases from the IKEA Huset doll furniture instead. They work quite well, filled with toy sweets I’ve collected over the years.

I knew when I bought her that her shoes might be an issue, and sure enough, she has two right shoes. I would love to swap one with someone who got two left shoes...message me!

Thorns and Rosebuds

 Beautiful Fani Flamingo is showing off the pretty new dress and sandals we received from our friend Angie for my birthday earlier this month. The dress is from the shop On Blythe Street on Etsy. Isn’t it wonderful? We love it!

Please notice Fani’s hair. It is GORGEOUS, and all I did was wash it one time. I’m currently struggling to tame the hair on Minty Magic, who arrived recently. It’s crazy and frizzy, but I think a pot of boiling water is just the thing to help me get it under control. I will post pictures here in the near future.

The words on this picture are part of a longer quote:

 "For each thorn, there's a rosebud... For each twilight - a dawn... For each trial - the strength to carry on, For each storm cloud - a rainbow... For each shadow - the sun... For each parting - sweet memories when sorrow is done." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

You Need More Dolls

 Thought for the day from Paige (Pretty Peony): 

“Don’t let lack of space stop you from buying more dolls. Use your imagination to maximize every nook and cranny in your home.”

Think Happy

 Today, all my thoughts will be happy: sunshine, daffodils, spring days, and Blythe dolls.
