Most of you know I have a thing for ball jointed dolls, especially those made by Bambicrony. The dolls and my bears sit quietly side by side in my cabinets and are such a joy to look at. When my latest doll arrived this week, I decided a family picture was due. This was not easy, the girls kept bumping into one another and it was a nightmare to get them all reasonably sharp, but it worked out.
Prepare to be completely Bambicrony-fied (well, there is one Leekeworld doll in this picture, she is the one standing).
I get such joy from looking at my displays with old children's books, toys , bears and dolls. Sometimes when I am away on holiday and have just very little stuff around me, I think I should become a minimalist. Then I come home and know I probably would feel really organized without all that stuff around, but I would also miss the visual stimuli that I seem to need in order to be creative. It's like I need to be enchanted every day and to be reminded that life can be truly sweet if you choose to look at it that way.
So, I just cherish my collection. It puts a smile on my face and creative ideas in my mind.....What more could I wish for?
Have a great weekend :)
Beautiful picture. I adore dolls. I always have. Love making bears, but it is dolls that have my heart.
