FIRST UP:
Don’t forget to check out the listing for the Ruby Red Fashion Friends that ends tonight (Thursday) “Oh, Oh, October” ends this evening on Ebay and you can take a peek at it by clicking the picture at the right side bar, or click HERE.
There are LOTS of watchers so make sure if you want it, you bid in time! :o) I had so much fun putting that one together, I’ll hate to see it go… Violette has already been undressed and has been sulking for days! (She doesn’t quite understand how things work in the house of a seamstress as opposed to a collector!)…although I have been quite the collector of these dolls, haven’t I?
Okay, now back to Addy’s dress. It’s all done, all photographed and I’m working on the listing as soon as I finish this post. It should go on Ebay Thursday evening…
I was hoping to maybe get some pictures of her outside in this set, but the weather didn’t cooperate and we had rain when I needed to be taking pictures, SO… I set up an outside scene as best as I could.. inside. A few leaves under foot and Samantha’s outside backdrop. :o)
I let her hair down and made a pretty “down the back” braided and tucked hairstyle. My Addy does have pretty hair and long too! It’s been a while since I styled it anyway except up. I made a little tie from the same fabric, so the winner can tie it around a braid or just wrap it around her head and tie it on top in a bow…
I found a basket and filled it with pumpkins, leaves and a few acorns… the winner will get those too…
She needed a slip to hold out her dress just a little bit, but I didn’t want her to have a boned crinoline, so I used 6 layers of tulle and added them to a dropped yoke, decorated, slip. It does a perfect job of holding out her dress out!
Well, that’s it for me…
I’ve been trying to divide my time up between the wedding dress alterations, a big birthday party for a friend, and a hayride at the end of the month… Busy is hardly the word to describe my life right now, but I’m looking forward to the end of the month! :o)
I hope to see you at the end of the auction Thursday evening… If not, I’ll see you Friday morning!
Blessings, Jeanne
