Playing Catch Up
Finally downloaded photos from my camera. Time is flying by so quick I can't keep up. Here are a few photos of our tree this year. I really like the way these photos turned out. Here are a few pics of some of my favorite ornaments.
This first one is actually a baby boot. I found just one at the flea market in a box lot and had to have it. I could not find the other but it turned out to be a beautiful addition to the tree. It has a leather bottom, soft pink silk and fur inside.
I forgot I had this angel tree topper and found it among my things. I didn't realize how old it really is. Just love the little girl die cut.
The clip on bird was another flea market find. Found a whole box of them! Could not believe it! The dog on a ball was part of a lot I purchased on ebay this year. I think it was over 100 ornaments. You can never have too many!! 
The baby face was another ornament from the ebay lot. This is probably one of my favorites. Too bad the photo didn't turn out better.

Today Is My Birthday!
Happy Birthday to Me!!! Happy Birthday to Shar!! Happy Birthday to Me!!!
I had a very nice birthday. My mother called me first thing this morning to say hello. Her calls are always a nice morning wake up call. I worked all day and ran errands at lunch. Just a normal work day.
My husband and his family took me out to eat @ Olive Garden tonight. It was very nice. The food was great and the company was even better. Thank you so much for a wonderful birthday. I have some pics of the babies trying to get in the birthday cake but I'll have to load them tomorrow. I definitely need to do some updating and bring myself up to speed. Ta Ta For Now!!!

New addition to my doll collection
I just wanted to show you a few photos of my newest doll. I recieved her in the mail a couple of days ago and look what she came with...
.... a beautiful letter and a wax ornament.
My new dollie is by Rachael Kinnison of The Lady's Repository Museum and Diamond K Folk Art. She is a beautiful white witch kitty and has the most beautiful glass eyes. Thank you Rachael for such a wonderful treasure.

Blue Ribbon
I won a blue ribbon at the South Carolina State Fair!! It really has taken a little while to sink in. I had to go see it for myself to really believe it. I entered my first doll in the soft sculpture category and I got first place! I was really surprised. Here are a couple pictures of me and my doll. Please ignore my mismatched outfit (it was raining cats and dogs outside).

Marie Antoinette Fan
Beautiful antique French fan painted in gauche with ornate embroidery. Embroidered with a cupid between two lovers. The lady has stolen the gentleman's sword leaving him totally disarmed. Could have been a personal possession of Marie Antoinette the Queen of France. This lovely piece came from the Mrs. Horace Dodge estate in Detroit Michigan. Here is an article about Mrs. Horace Dodge and her purchases with the art consultant Sir Joseph Duveen. The fan was sold by Frank Boos of the Antiques Roadshow. It was purchased in the 1970's at his shop in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Could this be the Queen of France Marie Antoinette and Count Axel von Fersen the Swedish ambassador ca 1784? Could this be a personal treasure of the Queen of France Marie Antoinette., the fan appears to be executed during her Private Village time frame approximately 1784.
