Folksy Ariel

I don't remember where I got
my Ariel doll.

To be brutally honest, I was disappointed
in Disney's version of The Little Mermaid.

The whole point of the story
is to be yourself.

In the original, the little mermaid
was rejected, having changed herself
at great cost, only to fail.

A "happy" ending to this tale?
(pun intended)

How Disney!

I like her in this folksy outfit
which was supplied by a porcelain doll.
(I think the "donor doll"  was broken.)

Well, Misfits!

Isn't this Pizzazz?

I know this is Jem/Jerrica.
(right?)

I think this is Stormer.

I found them second hand.
and for some reason I bought
them.  I was never a fan.
Somehow, though,
I picked them up.

I put them on eBay.

Less than a day later they
sold.

Now, I am accustomed to getting
"watchers" in one day.
Sometimes I even get bids
the first day, though not often.

For somebody to buy my
dolls at the BIN price
the very first day they are
up is highly unusual.

Hmm...
...maybe I shouldn't have sold
them.
(smirk)
I'm glad I did.

Skater Dorothy Hamill is a Doll!

And I have one!

I was going to wait to post
about this doll until colder
weather.  It was so hot here,
today, that I thought she
might make me feel cooler!

I think she is by Ideal.

Cactus Pig?

Was that you? 
Did you say something
about "pigs in a blanket?"
Beware the karate chop!

Some Pig Over the Rainbow

Fancying her self in another classic role

Miss Piggy tests for it.

A few lines of the memorable song

will not suffice. 

Miss Piggy throws herself into the song.

Drama.  Pathos. Wistfulness.
Perhaps she's a little over the top with

her big finish.
Someone was heard to mutter
something about
"hamming it up."

Piggy Bo Peep

has lost her sheep
and don't know where to find them.

Leave them alone
and they'll come home,

is there a tail (tale) behind them?

Today, I suddenly remembered
Miss Piggy resting in the basement.
She turned out to be quite
photogenic!  We started the
shoot.

Ooops!

Fortunately, Miss Piggy was still
in the mood to be photographed.
(BIG surprise!)

Never too late for a little
 patriotism.

Miss Piggy is marked:

(with a lot more words)

The shirt came from a porcelain

doll I got in a thrift store,

The mob cap is a circle of

fabric I cut up and hand gathered,

just for the occasion.

Sorry, Charlie!

It had been two months, but Charlie Brown was still hopeful.

Sometimes, he knew...

...valentine cards...

...do get lost in the mail!

So, with the same spirit...

...that made him try to fly a kite...

...form a team...

...and play a season of baseball...

...or attempt to kick a football
held by Lucy Van Pelt...

...he checked the box and waited the mail carrier, faithfully.

Two whole months later, he finally lost faith,
gave up and crawled ....



... into the mailbox.  Poor Charlie!



Oooo, Mr. Kent!

I love finding deals, like these!

The bench/table was at Salvation Army.

The rocking chair at a flea market.

Both times I did not expect to find anything!

Just so there will be a doll on this post!
