Studio Stills

In the studio, peace and quiet before the sale begins...

This is one of my favorite childhood stuffies, she is so well loved. I remember leaving her out in the rain when I was very small, 3 or 4 years old, but she survived.

Hubby got me this Simply Shabby Chic Snow Globe ages ago for Christmas...I leave it out all year round.
A few of my mended art dolls that will be showing this February in the Gallery


and just for fun a side table of collections :)
Have a great Wednesday everyone.
