Oh what Fun and I Love the Halloween Party Banner too! I kept all of Princess T's miniature Foods when she decided to get rid of those Collections of LPS and Designer Dolls. She now says she's glad I did and we just have them in my Antique Typeset Cabinet, I enjoy just looking at them. I Sold a lot too along with the Figures at the Antique Mall, we found that about half of our Customers were Adults and not Children, a lot of Women Collect Dolls and have elaborate Dioramas they Create so they are always seeking such things. Now I keep an Eye out for them in Charity Shops and Sell what we don't want to Keep, I usually just keep anything Interesting now for the Typeset Cabinet Collection going on... I've become a Tiny Food Hoarder. *winks*
ReplyDeleteOh, I have often wondered what kind of minis you have been selling. Small things are so much fun because they take up less space. Halloween is really fun, so glad you caught up and visited, thanks, Sandi!

ReplyDeleteLOL, Linda, the labels are a riot...I had everything, so I just dragged it all out and used it in a different context. It's hard to doll party, when you can't RLife party. I think I will make some mini bakery just for fun, I'm glad I have the hobby. Gardening is almost over outside (frost tonight) and I will have tons of time to play!
ReplyDeleteI personally, don't think I've ever been to a Halloween party that promises to be this much fun! You dolls are really lucky!!! Thank you for posting the list of items you made and the materials you made them from. That is so interesting. Looks like you've thought of EVERYTHING!!!
ReplyDeleteAw, TY April. Like you show how to make a dress, I give the directions for doing the dioramas.I'm a bit insane when it comes to details. Every time I find a little treasure, I have a plan for it in the back of my mind. Glad you are enjoying them. Sandi
