My Theater Dolls in The Knights of Columbus Art Show

Recently my Theater Dolls had the 

honor of being in a local art show. 

It was an exciting event for me to 

be a part of! 

I was entered into the 3D category and 

The experience was a fun one.   

I had 3 dolls entered: 

My Ballet Doll

The Baroque Doll 

 and Madelyn the Christmas Doll.

It was fascinating seeing all the different 

types of art in the show. 

I took some quick snapshots of 

the show.

This is the prize winner in the 
3d catagory that I was a part of. 
These were handmade vintage 
Christening Gowns. Very beautiful.   

The all around prize winner of the show 
was for the painting you see of the Jazz 
Musician. 
 

There were lots of interesting entries.

Many different styles of art. 

 

A really exciting thing happened 

at the show. 

 A lady walked up to 

me and said "Well looks like you've 

taken the prize of "the most sold" today". 

I said "What do you mean?" 

She said "You sold all three of your 

dolls... to the same buyer. 
I was in total shock, I didn't have a clue. 

  She said "AND she's a doll collector and 

has over 3000 dolls. Once she likes your 

dolls she becomes a repeat buyer." 

Once again in total shock.! 

I was introduced to the buyer 

and she wanted to come home with me 

 and see my other dolls. 

(Thank God I keep the house tidy!)

So she came and browsed through my 

studio and spotted some things for 

future purchases. 

I looked at her hubby at one point and 

said quietly "I'm sorry", in a kidding way. 

He replied "That's okay, I'll just build 

around them!" What a sweet thing to say. 

It was lots of fun being a part of an 
art show and meeting new people.  
 

**************** 

I've also had a recent sale of one of my 

paper peacocks... 

          to a gal that wanted to transform it 

into a mask. 

She sent me some photos of what she created.

 Amazing isn't it? 

 What a creative artsy costume!

     They make a lovely couple! 

Hope she won a prize for BEST MASK 

EVER!!

Well that's all from my little studio 

for now. 

Remember the HOLIDAYS are FAST 

approaching and we have some 

fine Etsy Shops on our sidebar for 

you to click on and browse. 

You might find that perfect gift that 

everyone will "Oooo and Aaaah" over!

Hope you're having a wonderful Fall.   

Love you all!

PS Hellos and blessings from "Edie" (Sherry)   

There's a New Etsy Shoppe In Town!

Introducing a new Etsy shop...

EdieMariesAttic on Etsy! 

This shop is "Edie's" shop, some of you 
know her as Sherry. 

She's selling handmade upcycled handbags 

that she calls "Pretty Pockets". 

They're made from old blue jeans that 

would end up in the landfill but still have 

some life in their parts... 

what adorable pockets and labels 

some jeans have! So she decided to save 

them from destruction and give them 

new life as little shoulder bags. 

Great for tossing your wallet in, to 

run to the store or when going to your 

favorite flea market.

OR for that hard-to-buy-for teen that 

needs a little bag for essentials. 

Here's a sample of what's on her Etsy 

shop: 

The Miss Chic Shoulder Bag 

(The fleur de lis is made of leather with a bit
of sparkle and the reverse side has flirty
eyebrow fringe and some blingy crystals.) 

The Retro Flower Child Shoulder Bag

(A vintage 60's flower pin and

a charm that says "Be Yourself" -
a great message for a teen!) 

The Black & Pink Paris Blues Shoulder Bag

(reverse side - You know if the crown fits wear it!) 

The Faded Blue Paris Blues Shoulder Bag

(Blingy charm & old key and a cluster of
vintage buttons - so charming)

Paris Blues Shoulder Bag

(Vintage buttons and blingy charm and old
key dangles from a belt loop on the front -
reverse has pocket and fleur de lis charm,
perfect pocket for a cell phone)

She has vintage souvenir items such as: 

A Souvenir North Dakota Scarf 

A Souvenir Lake Sebasticook, Maine Scarf 

A Souvenir Alaska The "49" State Scarf

A Souvenir Knott's Berry Farms Scarf 

She's also in the process of posting vintage 

jewelry and other vintage items on 

her new etsy this week! 

Hope you'll stop by to visit 

EdieMariesAttic Etsy 

when you're in the mood to shop or just 

window shop! You're always welcome 

to stop by and browse. 

love & hugs, Marie xoxo

What Does Bleach, Pinterest and Scissors Have In Common?

We've all done it haven't we? 

A couple of leftover drops of chlorine bleach 

is mistakenly left on the edge of the washing machine.

A t-shirt happens to touch the bleach as it goes into 

the washer and you get instant spots! 

I hear you saying "I only use color safe bleach" 

but sometimes you just have the old fashioned 

Good/Evil Chlorine Bleach on hand when 

laundry day rolls around.  

Don't throw that t-shirt away 

or make rags out of it. 

(okay I have to admit I did wear it for a 

couple months around the house)

But then I saw this cute craft idea on 

none other than Pinterest... 

you know, that time-sucking site that gives 

you all kinds of ideas to save for later 

that you don't have time to use.  

So here's one of the ideas I saved on 

Pinterest. 

1. Spread your t-shirt out nicely on a table 

or an ironing board. Cut straight across 

under the sleeve area.

2. Use your scissors to cut fringe. Make 

the fringe how ever long you want. 

Mine was about 4" long with each 

piece of fringe about 1/2" wide. 

3. Pull each piece of fringe so that 

it kind of curls into itself. 

At this point you could add beads 

here and there on the pieces of fringe 

and tie a knot to keep them from 

escaping. 

 

Voila! 

You have a really interesting 

fringed scarf to drape around 

a t-shirt. 

AND you can say you actually used one 

of those saved ideas from Pinterest! 

 

Hope you liked this up-cycle.

How has bleach touched your life? 

Have a grand week friends! 

Marie & Edie

XOXO
