Lots To Show You !!!

As most of you know, I don't post but maybe every couple of weeks, due to my ills and skills...LOL, But I do have a rather long post.....SO LETS GET STARTED YA"LL !
The BIG STORY of the Day! LOOK what I Inherited! A Doll Mess...YES a MESS.

Here's the story. My very best friend Shannon, A real Irish lass from The Irish Channel in New Orleans,La. we became friends in 1956. I was in first grade, she 2nd. Her Dad was a seaman who went all over the world. Brought back dolls from everywhere. Remember all this was in the 50's and 60's. So most these dolls go back that far. Anyway my dearest friend in the world ,(my sister)cause that is what we called each other for over all these yrs.

When she got married to her hubby Butch , he then became my brother inlaw. Also these two were my daughter's Alexia'a God parents. Shannon died just a couple of yrs ago. Butch has slowly been bringing me all the dolls. Trust me they are many more and some already went to Alexia. The sad thing is the dolls, most of them are in sorry shape. Their clothes are so frayed and stained. Their faces are frayed and stained. I'm really afraid to touch them. But touch them I have been doing. Little by little, I've taken a paint brush and getting dust, rat crap, roach crap bugs and you name it, its there. All of them just wraped in yellowed newpaper. I was able to save some, Some you really just have to leave be, other than dusting as best as you can. I've repainted faces that were made of cloth.The old plastic dolls you see , had thick mold in their eyes. The eyes are ok , but not great, mold gone though...I know one is a Shirley Temple doll from the 50's, A Tinyteen doll from the 50's and I think the one with the head detattached is a little Ginny doll. All I have to do for it is attach the rubberband, I hope anyway. I cleaned all the mold from all of those.

I don't have these pictures in the order I wanted them, but I was to lazy to correct it...Sorry. Anyway the Spanish lady on the very end, next to the Spainish man, was in the worst of shape. She is made of some kind of rubber. One half of her body was melted. Her left arm all about melted away.

They had these dolls in their attic. You know how hot it gets in an attic down south. I was going to just toss her out, But something stopped me, So I thought and thought. Well I decided to..Oh wait...I forget...What remained of her face was like them apple faced dolls. All cracked and wrinkled, so was her chest, neck, and right arm. So I decided to mix this pastestuff, don't ask me what, and smooth it all over her. I put back the mangled arm behind her and camo the rest with the lace. I then mixed paint, I thought would look good on her. I started painting, drying, paint some more, till most of the cracks were filled in. When I was semi happy with the results, Then I painted her a face, such as it is, better than before. I assure you.

So now I'm stuck with these dolls. I do not collect dolls. And they are in too bad of shape to sell. Some are from Greece, Iran, Japan, Potugal, West Germany, Spain, Egypt. I do appreciate him giving me all of Shannon's things, I even have old photos of us as teens to show another time. She did not have any family , just my family and Butch. Thats sad. But I'll do my best by these dolls, Heaven help me there is more. At one time he gave me over a hundred Barbies in their boxes. I helped him sell them all. I could have kept them if I wanted, but I told him to sell them to help himself. Shannon had a massive heart attack, She was only 56. God rest her soul. She is missed. PS: This is a creepy after....As I was cleaning some of these plastic dolls. I could have sworn that they were smiling at me...No kidding. They were happy to be cleaned somewhat, even if it was with Oxy clean.








I know its not Christmas yet, but You know you have to start some of these, so that they get made in time.This is my very first upside down tree of this 2009 season. Its all of Angels and a piano, harp, well you can see. Well guess what.I finished it last Friday and not only sold it, but shipped it out to her last Saturday, from Mailbox Fast Forward. You all don't know this nice lady, she doesn't blog. She teaches Piano. Its the same lady who bought my White Piano Angel doll from last year...Remember? I had that naming contest for her. Anyway she recieved the tree and just loved it. I had another white upside down tree from last year and sold it to Marie of Savon Marie's soap. Beverly the lady who bought this tree wanted that one at the same time Marie bought the other tree, I told Bev I would make one simlier, but not alike. . I don't make two things alike ever. Since she played the piano and her home is filled with Angels, no big theme guess there...LOL. The next tree will be a beige peacock tree. I have this beautiful beige peacock I I want to use. It also won't be an upside down tree. I have something special in mind.

I want to show you my big fella, His name is Rip...We got him when he was 6wks old now is 7. We called him rip because he would rip things up so bad. Bring logs from the woods we just took into the woods. He was the most active Rott we ever owned. We've owned 5 now. All our other Rotts were German. They were huge. Scotty weighted, No lie... 187lbs. When he died of cancer he still weighed 115. Thats a whole nather story I still can't tell. I'm now tearing up, from just that small thing. Rip is an American Rott ...lots smaller only about 130, wiry,not big boned and they are much more hyper than the Germans. But he is just as sweet, kind and a wonderful dog. I've never owned a mean or hateful Rott. We always took care to love them. My hubby Bill took these pictures.while Rip and I were falling asleep watching TV. We don't usually let him in much, but we now have a Austrailian Collie mix doggie baby and this is a way of letting him know , he is still top dog. Our Aussie is the love of his Rips life, Yes she is fixed...LOL...Her name is Hobie after another dog we own for a very long time. Hobie just turned i yr old on the 4th of July.

Well...Well...Well...Looks who's trying to turn me into a Yankee !!! Why its my dear old friend Sherry of Edie Marie's Attic Hummmm. Why is that Sherry ? Oh yes! It was my birthday ,and you decided I needed a Yankee foot ball Jersey from your home state of Ohio. Interesting chorise of a gift...LOL...But she knows me so well...I just died laughing when I pull it out of the package. I cannot wait to werar it.Its going to be so kool.I was going to take a picture of me in it,but My face looks like a balloon right now, so in a future post, when its cooler, I will do it. I did try it on and it feels so comfy.With a pair of grey sweats,Oh lala. I think I love some of you Yankees,Your not such a bad lot...LOL

But !!! Sherry redeemed herself, or should I say her hubby Wes and Sherry redeemed themselves by also sending me this wonderfully devine perfume . Its from Premier Design Perfumes. The bottle is so small, so cute. Sherry knows I love little perfume bottles, for remember....She came for a visit. I sure did miss her when she and her lovely daughter-inlaw Kris left. I still do. I love them so,and her little hubby Wes Too!!! Thank you for just the most fab Birthday gifts ever.


I want to show what what I got in the mail,the other day.My heart did a flip...Celeste of Celestina Marie's Designs sent me in the mail. Some of her hand painted ,beautiful,gorgeous,roaes, she painted on light blubs. She knew I just loved them and sent them to me. What a gracious lady,from the very top of her pretty head to the very bottom of her pretty feet, I love the so much. Did I mention these are for Christmas.They are to go on my tree.I cannot wait...Thank you dear sweet lady.




Look Ya'll what I bought !!! Its a PumpkinAntoinette T-Shirt that Cris of Designs by CK created with his talent. An originial piece put to cloth for me to wear... YEA!!!! Well anybody can purchase this T and more....He has wonderful things. You have to go visit his Cafe Press shop. I do hope I'm telling this right. Just go visit his blog and it will tell all .


I want to thank Lynn of Lynn's Lovies for this very beautiuful award. Its called the Premio Daros Award. I love it. I always feel honored to recieve awards..Thank you Lynn!!!

Thank you all for your kindness again, for you who follow my bartending stories, I will promise you one on my next post. I will make sure its a good one, just for you...Love you ya'll

  13. I like your story about the dolls! I don't think it's creepy that you thought they were smiling at you! LOL!

    I once helped my friend's mom restore her doll from childhood! They doll was one of those beautiful old "particle wood" dolls and was nearly bald! My hometown had a "doll hospital" in the next town, can you believe it? I called them and asked them what to do. They said to only use coldcream on her to clean her off. So, if any of her dolls are that old particle wood remember that tip. I just put the cold cream (the cheapest kind from the drugstore!)on and rubbed it off with a clean soft cloth. Not only did it clean off all the dirt, it preserved the paint and conditioned the wood somewhat! It was pretty nifty! We bought her a wig, new dress, and shoes and socks and you should've seen her "glow" She seemed to be "smiling" again! I know what you mean!
    Not to mention that her owner was smiling, too!

  16. Hi Sweet Marie,
    First I am so sorry that your dear friend passed away. I know it is several years ago, but I know you must miss her terribly. How very special of you to honor her memory by cleaning and taking care of her dolls. She is smiling down on you for this.
    Love the t-shirt from Sherry and the pretty perfume bottle. She is such a doll and so very thoughtful.

    What a lovable pup Rip is. He looks like such a special dog. He is big too. You are so tiny!!

    Love all your tree creations. You are such a talent. Can't wait to see more.
    What a great Pumpkin Antoinette t'shirt you bought from Designs by CK.
    Congrats on the award too.

    Hope you are feeling better. Stay cool and have a great week.
    Still hot here, but we finally got some rain. YEA!!!

    So sorry about you losing your friend.
    Rip is HUGE! you both look so comfy!

  40. Hello Ms. Marie,

    Glad to see you are doing well. How incredible about the dolls. I can't even imagine what kind of shape you received them in but your photos make them look pretty good. I wish I had managed to keep the dolls I got as a child but alas, my mother decided to throw them away for me when we moved. *sigh*

    You had asked about the traveling art doll. It will depend entirely upon the participants who make their contributions before you. Some are working very fast and others seem to be moving at a glacial pace. I will contact you for a snail mail addy just before she is ready to come your way though.

    Thank you for your visit and for sharing your news and pretties with us. :)

    Hugs! =D

  41. It's me again. :)

    Whenever I have wanted to add glitter to a piece I normally do it while the paint is still wet. Or if it is dry then I give it a light coat of modge podge and add the desired amount of glitter.

    I have not heard of any good glitter paint. If you do pass it on.

  42. When I read about you being ill I did feel for you so much, hoping you were not in pain. I never thought about people who were in to much pain to do normal everyday things people take for granted until this happened to me. I wasn't even sympathetic to husbands bad back. I just thought he was being a man and moaning. I have woken up to a whole different world and understanding for others in pain and no longer think they are making a mountain out of a mole hill. I never thought bad of ill people though, just if someone moaned or seemed to be moaning a lot, I just thought it was their temprement. Just you saying you are ill, I knew it would be bad if you cannot do the things you wish to, as much as you want to. Not wished to pry at the same time.
    God bless you so much for your fight and determination. You inspire me so much!
    We are sister troupers in the world of love and art!
    Have a great day!

  60. Hello Toni, I am so sorry that I didn't come back here earlier to respond to your so lovely offer. That is because I really don't want that you make any costs for me. But I don't want to be rude. What is the best thing to do, what do you think? Accept your offer for a very very small german doll that can live happily over here with my other german dolls the sweet weather house, the clock and the music playing house ( I had this vignette on my blog). Please, you choose. But first check out the shipping costs. As I understand there is no such thing as shipping on surface (= cheap shipping) anymore. Sorry to respond this late.
    Wishing you a swell weekend, what is left of it and a great start of the week! Fondly LiLi.
