Red

 “When in doubt, wear a red dress.” —Bill Blass

Daunting Drusilla isn’t just for Halloween—see how elegant she looks in a fancy gown (borrowed from Stella Serendipitous.) This picture is for the theme “Red” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr.

Cooking With Citrine

“Today’s episode of ‘Beginning to Cook With Citrine’ is all about my favorite spice, CINNAMON! We will start with something easy that anyone can make: cinnamon toast. Yum!”

This is Ice Rune wearing Mrs. Retro Mama’s stock apron and scarf, and Candy Carnival’s stock dress.

Birthday!

 We grow neither better nor worse as we get old, but more like ourselves. — Bernard Baruch

This Blythe doll is Prima Dolly Amaryllis posing for the theme “Birthday.” If it’s you birthday today, this post is just for YOU—Happy Birthday!

Trees

 He that plants trees loves others besides himself.  —Thomas Fuller

Lady Panacea was the obvious choice for this picture with the theme “trees”. I think she must be Mother Nature’s sister.

Sporty

 “Tennis, anyone?”

Pretty Peony is posing for the theme “Sporty” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. I’ve had this cute tennis set for quite a while, but this is the first time I’ve used it. I guess I was waiting for the perfect theme. The little can of balls actually opens and the balls come out!

Banana!

 It was the first day of her senior year, and Penny was walking to school wearing a new outfit in her favorite color, orange. Suddenly she was falling, having slipped on a banana peel! Two of her classmates witnessed this spectacle, but before they pulled her to her feet they couldn’t resist the urge to laugh because the situation reminded them of that old knock-knock joke. They pulled some fruit from their lunch bags and shouted the punchline: “Orange you glad I didn’t say banana?”

Today I realized that I hadn’t looked at the themes in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr for the month of September yet, and since it’s already the 3rd, I had the brilliant idea to make a picture that includes all of the first three themes: back to school, orange, and falling. I hope it made you smile.

These Blythe dolls are Minty Magic, Sadie Sprinkle, and Cloud 9 Bowl.

I Have Questions

“The answers are within…but what are the questions??”

This is my second picture for the theme “The answers are within.” This time Playful Raindrops strikes a pose in a chalkboard flat lay. I’m glad I’ve finally been able to use the “?” box, which I’ve had for a long time.
