Yesterdays Spoils...

Or should I say 'Loot'?!

I came home with rather a large bag of goodies which I kind of smuggled into the house...after all I was breaking my own self-imposed 'cutting down' mantra.

Well it would have been rude to have attended and not bought anything wouldn't it?  Plus there were some 'bargain bins' so how could I possibly not look?


When we arrived and had a look round, I spied this pretty blue dress and thought it would be perfect for Chrissy (Chrissa) .  I don't normally buy any clothes for my American Girls (I make all their clothes), in fact this is probably the first outfit I have ever bought them, but I thought it would suit her perfectly and I was right.


She really is pretty in blue.

Sharlyn and I spent some time rummaging in the Bargain Baskets.


Shoes!  Can never have enough shoes....apparently.


Pyjamas...for that all important PJ party.


A coat - which actually fits Peggy Sue, so will fit some of the smaller girls here.


This cute dress - not sure who this is for and who it will fit yet.


An umbrella - which I am sure will be useful for the upcoming 'Summer Music Festival' to either shelter from the sun...or looking at the sky today...the rain!



Some 'sheets' which I will use as fabric to make pyjamas and maybe even a dress.


A fabulous little riding set - for those all important gymkhana events.


A couple of pairs of glasses.

What I actually went intending to buy was a new hair brush.



Which I did get :-) 

But then....something that has been on my 'wish list' for some time now...



This fabulous sewing set!  Which will be perfect for the 'Schoenhut School of the Arts' when it opens again in September and that all important sewing class.


The back of the box.

Finally the little 'goody' box that the lovely ladies at 'My Doll Boutique' had prepared for us all.


Cute box.


A hair brush, hair clip and cute little t shirt.


Now hopefully I will always be able to find a hair brush for the dolls!

Thank you for the lovely gifts - very sweet indeed.

Peggy Sue, a baby and shoes.


Peggy Sue was very enthralled by this sweet baby who came visiting today - she was ever so gentle with her.

Later on though she couldn't wait to go outside to try out her new shoes...


These shoes are made for walking...


...and that's just what they will do!

I believe she is wearing them in bed tonight!

Peggy Sue has her bedroom back! ADAD September - Days 5 - 7

The Sailor has gone back to see and the Autumn months are nearly upon us....Peggy Sue is delighted to get her 'bedroom' back....



Combing her hair.


Hoping it isn't too knotty...



She looks like she is getting ready for something?

New shoes for little girls.


The little girls got new shoes yesterday - seems all of the shoes sold for 'Lati' are too big, but these are a better fit than the others I bought and with socks or leggings they fit better.

Xanthe and Poppy don't seem to be complaining anyway.

Shoes for Xanthe?

Xanthe was pleased to finally have a pair of shoes arrive for her today...



She has a little giggle to herself...


They are miles too big!  They were advertised for Lati Yellows...said they might be a little big, but I didn't think they would be this much too big!  Sigh, still no shoes for little Xanthe.  These were so cute too.

A knitted dress for Chrissy & new shoes for Peggy Sue


I finished the lime ripple dress this morning - I just had the garter stitch hem to do and then sew the buttons on.  It fits Chrissy well and I think she is pleased to have this dress.


She is still wearing her favourite boots which keep her feet lovely and snug and warm.


One more girl dressed for Christmas day.

I can't resist taking photos of Peggy Sue in her hat and coat.


She just looks so sweet in this I think.


I was delighted to discover that the purple Les Cheries shoes I had fitted her and go with her outfit perfectly.
