Fall at Trish's Blue Sprinkling Can


This is Teresa for Channel 7's IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, here on the north side for a touch of country in the city at the Blue Sprinkling Can garden center and now pumpkin farm.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Teresa: Let's talk with Trish and find out about all these wonderful displays.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Trish: Hi, Teresa. WE have your Fall garden needs, lots of pumpkins, squash and produce here, more brought in everyday. And, we also brought some of our spooky decor from our farm out in Kane County.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Teresa: How has this been received here in the neighborhood?

barbieoldnewgreenredo
               

Trish: Oh, we've been busy everyday. With people walking more, the produce corner has been strong all summer. It's winding down,  but we will continue to bring in hardy produce for sale.

The greenhouse still has plants and fresh flowers. And we will keep flowers until Thanksgiving.

Teresa: The eyeballs are great lawn decor, so much fun.


barbieoldnewgreenredo

...I love your little spooky touches even in your cactus displays.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Trish: We have garden tools, if you have a need to dig up any 'skeletons' in your yards. (chuckle)


barbieoldnewgreenredo

Trish: Right now we are packed with heirloom pumpkins, squash and gourds. 


barbieoldnewgreenredo

Teresa: Well, it certainly is a fun little 'green' oasis here on the north side. 

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Teresa: What are your plans for the rest of the year.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Trish: We will be open until December 23rd for your holiday needs. Fresh greens, wreaths, and Christmas trees along with seasonal holiday specials!

Skeleton Bash Revisited

AD-Free Blog

(I did this post a year ago---but thought it would be fun for my new doll blog and readers! The benefit committee is putting the final touches on the party venue.)

Mulan: It becomes late, we must leave to be dressed. This is the last table to finish.


Ryan: The stage is better than I thought, we just need the spotlight on for the band.



Patrick and Sindy are finally here. 



Ryan: I'm starving, just one little hot dog, please!
Richelle:Silly, they aren't even cooked yet. 



The table looks fabulous.




Sindy: Thank you, but we really have to thank all the companies that donated. Pizzas, Sushi, and all the fruit and vegetables. Even the ice and coffee were donated. 


Patrick: I have everything I need here, too. We should have plenty for mixed drinks, beer, wine and lots of soft drinks and water.




Ryan: The committee did a super job. Everything looks great.


Meanwhile back at Vickie's Haunted Vintage


Joe: Dang, this phone is dead.
Vickie: No wonder, it stopped ringing. I closed the doors an hour ago and put up the sign.

Nikki:This is the best thing I've done since I started working here, taking down the skeleton guy.



Vickie: I'm glad to see them go, too.



Vickie: The store is so empty, all those hangers. We are going to be closed until November 6th. I think we all need a few days off!



Zoe: (she kicks the garbage can) Take that...you scary old....bag of bones! We need to get going...gang.

Joe: I'm going to follow up on this line going dead, Vickie. I'll meet you there, just stay together and you should be fine. This is the first incidence in three days.

At the Skeleton Bash, before the doors open.


Richelle: Let's get this committee photo done so we can finish the last minute stuff. Everyone looks great. And have fun, tonight.



Elsa: Oh this is so, dark and spooky! 
Anna: We don't have Halloween in Sweden. Oh, fun!
Skipper and Chelsea: (Chorus) Wow, COOL!




Elsa: Ah, Smorgasbord we do have. Salmon sandwiches, I love those.
Anna: Pizza and cake, NUM!




Barbie Fire Woman and a reluctant Snorkler! (He is a Dr.McDreamy, but from the movie, "Enchanted". Love his hair once I got all the sticky stuff out of it.


Two OOAK witches, one in calico's and the pumpkin made from a child's skirt from the Dollar Store.



Pirates (She is the Captain) are OOAK, pieced from old and new patterns.




Burgundy and Gold King and Queen. King is OOAK from old patterns and some altered Chelly Wood patterns. Queen is some vintage (Barbie?) dress, unmarked
 but very lovely.



Belle: Everyone is staring at us.
Aidan: Well, I hope it's because you are stunning, and not me in tights.



Rory teeters in on Neo's arm. 
Rory:This is impossible to walk in.

Waitress: Well, here's the specials tonight:one serving of linebacker served up with a very pretty 'mermaid'. Wonder what's for dessert, tons of food. Music has started, too.

(Waitress is vintage Barbie, with new apron, Neo is in vintage Ken football gear, Rory (Aurora) is in a tail found two years ago, and a dress found last month?, no tags.)



Here are three Barbies: U-Left, Monnie in the green vintage Rocker set, Trish in the 
photo outfit, and my new Lara, in vintage Barbie (Country) Rocker. They are going to do 
some mood music after supper.


Joe sneaks in and scans the crowd for anyone suspicious. (GI) Detective Joe is dressed in a OOAK motorcycle vest with fringe and headband, tattoos are stick on. If they stain him, I will just 'ink' some on him permanently, goes with his undercover detective personae.

Dr. Ken (has a shift at the hospital) and showed up in his Vintage Dr.Ken outfit, scrubs and Mattel coat, and emergency bag. 



The right (Stage) side of the Skeleton Bash Venue. Lots of people.


Middle shot.



Food area, manned by Sindy and Patricia in vintage Disney tops and leggings.


The bar is busy.







The banquet is ready.

Vickie's Haunted Vintage:Part 8 Finale

We left our hero, Joe interrogating Gino---who was found on camera leaving threats in Vickie's trashed shop. Gino confesses and implicates the Russian mob, which forced him to do the dirty deeds.
But, Vickie has been served eviction papers, the lights and heat are off for over half the block and Vickie's Vintage is closed, and her apartment is cold.

barbieoldnewgreenredo.blogspot.com

Darkness is perpetual on Vickie's Street for over a week. Detective Joe is no where to be found.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Then huddled in their still cold apartment, the girl's see squad cars pull up and down the street, lights blazing. Arrests are made. LOTS of arrests are made, the papers and TV are full of stories of conspiracy, the Russian mob, bogus real estate deals and kick-backs.

Three days later,

Joe: I thought I would stop by, I saw your lights were finally on. I've been kinda busy, but your place looks great! Thanks for hanging on to my vest.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Vickie:You sure have been busy, Joe. According to the paper, your unnamed task force brought down the Russian mob. Why did they want to acquire properties all over the north side? What were they planning to do with them?

Joe:Well, I could tell you that information,Vickie. But, then I would have to lock you up in solitary confinement until the trials. We wouldn't want that. 

Most important, when did you get back in the shop, and well these walls look fantastic.


barbieoldnewgreenredo

Vickie: The day after the  arrests, a courier came and gave me the papers for a new lease, paid up until April, and free utilities until then. Apparently, the BMR Corporation purchased all the eviction properties, and wrote us all new leases. Later that day, the management company came and made inspections and the next day repairmen were here. 

You know, Joe, I was worried about you! You didn't call, nothing?


barbieoldnewgreenredo

Joe:I'm sorry Vickie, I was busy with all the paperwork, and the evidence trail kept going further and further away and the case bigger and bigger. And, I had to relocate an informer. I'm not used to anyone needing to know where I am, besides my cat.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Vickie: So, I don't rank even with your cat? 
Joe: Um, of course you do...you are dead even. (He smirks)

barbieoldnewgreenredo
Zoe: Why don't you two go eat, or something---we can handle the rest of this for tonight. PLEASE!


barbieoldnewgreenredo

Joe:I guess you do smell better than my cat? Um, Miss Vickie, now that you are no longer part of my investigation, I suppose we could maybe---date? 

Vickie:I expect it, Detective. Give me your gun, and I will make sure you don't disappear again.




barbieoldnewgreenredo

Vickie: Zoe and Carly, please see if you can get the rest of this sorted. The movers will be here tomorrow with the main fixtures and the rest of the stock. Give me a call when you are done and I will come and lock-up. 

Zoe and Carly: Goodnight you two! Thanks Detective Joe!

Upstairs at Vickie's place. 

Vickie: Well, Detective, I suppose I should forgive you since you were making us all safe and arresting the bad guys. (She leans backward and hits the light switch)

barbieoldnewgreenredo


Detective Joe:I thought you said the lights were fixed. 

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Vickie:Since you are free to date me, now, Officer, then lights should be optional. Are your handcuffs available, so you don't disappear again?

(Click---Click----Detective Joe cuffs Vickie to his wrist)

Detective Joe:You, have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you in a court of law.... 

Now, I will continue, unless I get a proper kiss, or I will have to take you in.

Vickie:By all means officer, take me..., anywhere, but take me!

~~Never THE END~~

Vickie's Vintage will reopen on Friday, November 25th.
