A day away from the house.

I had to venture out to town to buy a few groceries so i stopped in at a few places i have been missing for some time now.. I picked up a few goodies i want to share with you.. I found this great doll box, the kind that is mostly a tissue roll cover. This beauty is simply a box.. She is wonderful, and has such pretty hair..

I also found a few porcelain goodies.. baskets of roses, one is a Nuaov Capodimonte from Italy..and one is Royal Dover from England.. I also found this very pretty Egg shaped vase in the colors i love so.. It has the long footed legs and roses with gold trim.. It is aqua and pink.. I found a very pretty tablecloth, some little trays of some kind from Italy, silver i think. I added two more small cloches to my new collection. I also had give to me a very nice cake stand that i am painting white . i am into the wedding cake toppers now as well and found a heart shaped box with a bride and groom with doves on it. not a topper but still sweet. I will gather all this up and snap a whole shot of all of it together. Well as luck has it, my batteries on my camera are down, so i will get the photos another day.. But any way i did enjoy my day out, to get out some of the stress of this mess in my yard from the storm.. Enjoy your weekend..

She is still pretty .. I had fixed this hat to go with the dress for our grandaughters play at school.. She was as sweet as could be.. Well it is still fun playing dress up..

She said the girls shave their heads though when they complete their classes.. I said oh i dont care one bit.. So she brought me out this head... So after i got my head of hair cut and she gave me my head Free, yes Free... I headed over to Goodies , which is going out of business here in out state.. Guess what they had for sale? Oh come on guess... Yesssssssssssss you are right.. They had maniguns... I did not get on of the full body ones but just the shoulder down to the hips.. No arms on it though..
