Introducing....Pretty Posh Pose Dolls!

This is an exciting week for me, as I've just listed

some new dolls on Etsy!

But, these are not just any dolls, these are my absolute favorite so far!

That's because they are fashioned after my fav dolls of my childhood.

Bradley pose dolls!

They were very popular when I was a kid,

but I never had any.

So, I started collecting them recently,

and new I had to do my version someday.

But, it took a lot of trial and error.

And I decided to so my own version with a special twist.

I hope you like them!

The first two are Sweetheart and Ruby Red!

Sweetheart is all pink and pretty!


I'm having so much fun making the faces!

And Ruby Red is so sweet!

And coy!

I would love it if you could check them out at my store!

Bye for now!

The Big 1-0!

Wow! My little girl just turned 10 years old!

She decorated the cake herself this year!

And got oodles of presents!

And had all her best friends over!

And opened gifts, and opened gifts,

and opened gifts!

She had a wonderful day!

bye for now!

Deer Me!

Meet Doe and Dora!

Doe is from the Enchanted Woods, where all the creatures are magical. She has a fawn colored skirt with vintage aqua lace and a velvety set of antlers.

Dora is from the Enchanted Woods, where all the creatures are magical. She has a fawn colored outfite with pretty flowers and a velvety set of antlers

This is an aceo (art card) hand painted in acrylic with glitter accents. It measures 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches and is signed and dated on the back.

Both Doe and Dora are available in my Etsy shop!

Bye for now!

Christmas joy!

Opening presents around the tree with the fire blazing

and Christmas music in the background.

It just doesn't get better than that!

One happy collector of Littlest Pet Shop!

Some snappy new pj's!

And cute pants and hoodie!

Hope everyone had a great Christmas

and the best New Year ever!

Bye for now!

Take a lick of a peppermint stick!

A new doll has arrived at Pretty Posh Posies!

And her name is Lulu!

Lulu is from the Kingdom of Bon Bon where sweets and treats abound.



She has a fancy skirt made from a vintage doll coat and jaunty striped socks. And, she carries her very own candy cane!

Please come visit her at the shop!

Bye for now!

Snow where to go!

Hi there! Here is a cute little gingerbread Dakin Dream Doll!

And this is a picture of what 15" of snow looks like!

We got a huge snow storm over the weekend,
more than we've had in a long time!

Can't even see our bushes out front anymore!

I think I'll finish with a picture of a cute little wreath on my dollhouse!

Bye for now!

Christmas pretties and a visit from the Snow Bunny!

We just got about 6" of the fluffy white stuff,

so it's not hard to get into the Christmas spirit.

And here are a few lovely Christmas pretties to

add to the mood!

First is a pic of Antoinette in my feather tree.

Don't forget to check her out in my shop.

This cardboard santa from the 50's is a favorite from my childhood!

I'm so glad we still have it!

Here is another favorite,

a stuffed reindeer!

How cute is he!

I was lucky enough to find this banner at an estate sale.

I think it goes great over my record player!

But my favorite pretty is this snow bunny below.

Sabrina was getting ready to go to school,

what a ham!

Bye for now!

Some Xmas decor!

Check out some vintage Xmas cuteness!

Like this adorable doggy card holder!

And the box of Christmas Cuties cards!

Or how about the "mail box" and the Santa band!

By the way, here are pix of the tinsel chain

on my tree....

I love how it gives a little extra color and sparkle to my tree!

Bye for now!

From the Land of Frost

Today I would love you to meet Antoinette!

She is the newest Pretty Posh Posie in my shop!

Antoinette is from the Land of Frost, where it is always a winter wonderland.

She has a fancy skirt with vintage lace and silver glitter on her shoes. And, she wears her favorite forest tree hat!

I hope you can come visit Antoinette,

and all the Pretty Posh Posies

at my shop!

Bye for now!

We Need a Little Christmas!

I am so excited about Christmas this year!

I'm already done with the downstairs decorations.

But, I was looking at the tree and decided it needed a garland.

Something sparkly. But I didn't want to go out and buy one

as I'm trying not to buy anything new unless it's thrifted.

So I came up with using some tinsel stems that I've had for awhile.

I cut them in half and then made loops to form a chain,

just like a paper chain.

Here is how it turned out.

I will take some pix of it on the tree asap!

I also finished decorating our bedrooms.

I wanted a garland above the bed, so I took some silver doilies from the thrift

and made them into snowflakes.

Then I strung them on yarn.

That's it!

Easy Peasy!

We also got our lights out before we got lots of snow and cold.

Of course, one string didn't want to work, but we left it on.

Sometimes they spontaeously come on for no reason I've found.

Then I put another string over the bad ones,

and guess what?

Now half of the old string is working!

Works for me!

Love how serene it looks!

Bye for now!

Thanksgiving 2010

Thanksgiving 2010
Originally uploaded by bewitchedmagic

Having a lovely, quiet Thanksgiving with my hubby and little girl. Made a turkey which I haven't done in awhile! Hubby and I aren't much for turkey, but dear daughter requested it. I just got a turkey breast so there wouldn't be to much, and still we have a lot left over! In the end, we found out that she really isn't a turkey person either, so will probably be the last one I make. Ham is much more popular around here.
Also made green bean casserole in the crock pot, which worked beautifully by the way. Then there was mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce, dinner rolls, and of course pumpkin pie.
I made the cranberry sauce in the crock pot too, but the recipe needs some tweeking, a little too sweet for our taste. Will try it again with less sugar.
Hope everyone had a wonderful day!
Bye for now!
