Everyone Needs Playtime

In our hectic, modern lives, many of us focus so heavily on work and family commitments that we never seem to have time for pure fun. Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, we stopped playing.

When we carve out some leisure time, we’re more likely to zone out in front of the TV or computer than engage in fun, rejuvenating play like we did as children. But play is not just essential for kids; it can be an important source of relaxation and stimulation for adults as well.

There doesn’t need to be any point to the activity beyond having fun and enjoying yourself. By giving yourself permission to play with the joyful abandon of childhood, you can reap oodles of health benefits throughout life.

A Walk in the Garden

I've been meaning to take some photos of my 25.5cm (10") Cissette ever since she arrived and finally I did. She is a Madame Alexander Millennium Masquerade #26495, which was made in 1999, then retired.

She's a pretty five way jointed doll who is extremely well dressed, the details of her clothing are perfect right down to her white satin shoes and evening gloves. Her pearl trimmed, tiered gown is exquisite.



Her blue eyes close and her blonde wig is beautifully styled, there's not a hair out of place. The back of her gown is just as beautiful as the front. She is wearing a pearl necklace and earrings.



Well that's it for now, hope you all have a jolly dolly weekend!

    She's very pretty and her accessories are lovely, which is to be expected from Madame Alexander.

      I think her dolls were always beautifully dressed Barb, and so well finished. Not at all like what you see on some dolls when you purchase them today.

    Oh, I love dolls that commemorate the millennium! Did you ever see the super-blingy Millennium Bride Barbie? She was ridiculously expensive, but she was a feast for the eyes!

    I wouldn't mind getting a couple more of these dolls, they are really lovely, but for display only. No Linda the mask is only a prop, but it's also well made.

    Awww, she is so elegant, straight from the charity ball for the high society! The jewelery looks so real, and the gown is breathtaking. It could also work as a luxurious wedding dress ;). Hugs, hugs!

      She certainly looks that way Chiriann. :) It's funny you should say that, I actually have her displayed with two other brides.

    From the looks of her dress and hairdo it must be the royal gardens - at least! Very pretty.
