Trish's Tree Time Lot is HOPPING!

Trish's Tree Time Garden Center has been pretty busy!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Trish: I'm sure glad Ted came this afternoon with more stock. The trees and wreaths are thinning out. I bet we will be busy tonight!


barbieoldnewgreenredo

(Later after 5 pm the lot is packed)

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Lena (L) and Mari (R) have been shopping for hours.
Mari: Oh, that wreath, that one..up there!
Ted: I'll be right there to reach that, for you!


barbieoldnewgreenredo

Ted: Anything else if you still have room in the car?

Mari: This sprinkling can for my Grammy and this snowman for Mom. Thanks, you have been a big help, Ted. Trish is lucky to have such a great brother!


barbieoldnewgreenredo

Rosemarie: Daddy, we found the perfect tree...it's PINK! Look at these great decorations!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Vince (Daddy): Cool, which tree, Honey?

Connie (Mom): That one back there!

Vince: We'll need help with that, man that is really pink?

Courtney (pink hoodie): Oh, Daddy can I help?


barbieoldnewgreenredo

Ted: Great choice sir...for the girls! Lift on three; one, two, and three!

Vince: Glad it's only two blocks away! 
Ted: Do you have this, Sir?

Courtney: Sure, we're the Marinos, we got it! 

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Courtney: You're the best Daddy ever! 

Vince: Sure honey, anything for my girls!


barbieoldnewgreenredo

Melanie: Maybe we should get this live tree, and put it in the yard after Christmas?

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Lucas: Say, if we take this live tree, can you plant it later for us. 
Ted: Sure we have full landscaping services, we can do it after Christmas, or you can mulch a mound around the pot and we will do it later! 

Lucas: How about delivery with the mulch then. 

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Melissa: My mom picked this out too...I love the Nutcracker!



barbieoldnewgreenredo

Melanie: We've only been in Chicago for a month, this is a great neighborhood. Thanks, for all your help!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Peder is shopping for gifts for his family! 

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Dee Dee: My aunt Jacquie will love that wreath, can you bundle it up for me, she's still shopping!



barbieoldnewgreenredo

Trish: Hi, Dee Dee! 
Dee Dee: Ted got this down for me, now I have to run to the car before Jacquie sees it! 

Trish: Better hurry, thanks for shopping here!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Trish: Peder, what kind of wreath are you looking for?

Peder: Something with sports, my dad is a Chicago Team guy.

Trish: I'm sure we have one here somewhere.


barbieoldnewgreenredo

Trish: That's a lot of empty wreaths? Are you going to put me out of business!

Vanny: Hi, Trish. We are going to make some for the church virtual bazaar, can we get a break on the price, if you can.

Trish: How about half price, and you can put Trish's Garden Center down as donating, also. Happy to help!

Jacquie: Thanks Trish, there are so many in need, all the proceeds will go for the food bank! 

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Jacquie: You sure have been busy---we are just hanging on at the salon.

Trish: Soon as we close up for the winter, I'll be in for a trim and my nails are a fright. Have a Merry Christmas if I don't see you again.

Jacquie: Don't miss the Tree Lighting in the Park on Friday. You two are part of our community now.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Jacquie: See you Friday! Don't forget to bring something for the food bank...we have to help those in need! 

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Trish: Sure we will. Tree lighting...wow...can't wait...!

Ted: Yep, it will be fun, well let's get all these tree lights off, Sis...or the un-tree lighting, 

barbieoldnewgreenredo

...and lock the gates...tomorrow is another day!

Trish: Ted, we need more wreaths, some trees, and more bags...and....

Ted: I know.....


HAVE YOUR DOLLS PURCHASED THEIR TREES YET?

Sandi's note: I have to confess this is the most fun I have had in a long time...setting up this tree/garden center...and dressing all the dolls to do their shopping. I will be sorry to see it close for the winter. Upside next is Vickie's and then the Tree Lighting! Hope you are managing some doll time, since we are locked up!

I'll  be happy to answer any questions or inquiries from your comments, or email me through Blogger! 












Windy City Collector's-Chrismas part 2

There was just about every kind of Holiday dress 
for show at our December meeting. 

barbieoldnewgreenredo

On humans---these would be UGLY SWEATERS, but on dolls, I think they are just adorable. 
So many sweaters are found as ornaments, and luckily they fit dolls with maybe just a snip or tuck here and there.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Here are a bunch more and the most adorable reindeer, that kept jumping in my bag and wanting to go home with me. 

barbieoldnewgreenredo

The snowman outfit was a riot,
 trying to make time with the girl in blue and fur.
Vintage Ken on the left has a presentable reindeer sweater I would wear.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Two gals in custom dresses...and a couple in definitely winners of the MOST contest. The dude with the Santa on his shoulder was funny. 

barbieoldnewgreenredo

These two were just whispering all night...
I wonder what they were up to?



barbieoldnewgreenredo

There was some skin showing ---here and there.
A  Cute baker with some nummy looking treats.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

I could not get a decent shot of her---it was so dark---but here
the  lingerie was to die for.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Here's an ELF for my shelf---LOL...He had big fur booties too. 
Strapless Mrs. Claus in a classic snow flake dress.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Who wouldn't want to go to a Christmas Ball as a Christmas ball...lol. These gals had a spotlight to enhance their sparkles.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Classic is always perfect for celebrating holidays.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

The Owner DIY'd these cute dresses from human leggings---
the fabric is the perfect weight for doll clothes. 


barbieoldnewgreenredo

This couple is keeping it low key---on the decor---love the Dreidl and the Menorah, perfect scale for a classic fireplace. 
Their outfits are festive and so designer-plus cool.



barbieoldnewgreenredo

This display was a mannequin tree with lights behind and these  circle tube trees with ornaments. 
The doll is classic in an early fur 1900's outfit. 



barbieoldnewgrreenredo

Really lovely.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

A very pretty snowflake dress on this girl--
I love the candy cane jewelry.



barbieoldnewgreenredo

This display with snowflake dolls/winter princesses, 


barbieoldnewgreenredo

...was very magical.


I saved the best? for Last....

"All my love in a box, for you," croons Ken.
She doesn't looked impressed.....LOL!
