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.

My Pretty Petal

Do you remember, back in early September, I pre-ordered Dalia Spoon? Well she arrived today and she is adorable! I've been studying her face and it made me realise why I love these Zwerganase Spoon dolls the way I do, her lips are perfect, her eyes so clear and shiny and that little button nose is so darn cute.




Now aside from how beautifully painted her little face is, her clothes are so well made and the back of her dress buttons up (NO VELCRO!) and the elastic at the bottom of the dress enables it to be worn two ways. Her stockings and undies fit perfectly snug and those leather boots finish her outfit off in an ideal manner.


I took these two pics on my office chair just to show you how her dress can be worn, and filled in the background the best I could using the editing programme's airbrush.

      Thanks Dee. I think you should follow your heart, if they are pulling at your heartstrings, maybe it's time to give in. 馃榿❤️

    Oh she's just adorable! I agree with everything you said, I specially like her nose and expression. The dress is very pretty, I like how it gathers like a balloon skirt.
    I'm glad she's finally home.

      Thanks Alejandra. Well that's my lot now, no more looking at these delightful dolls, they are very expensive and unless I sell some of my current collection they are off the menu!! I didn't realise I could do that with the dress, it happened quite by accident. Me too! 馃槝

    ¡Hola Xanadu! Estoy por aqu铆 para quedarme y ya he podido comprobar que tienes una colecci贸n muy bonita. Me sonaba el nombre de estas mu帽ecas pero nunca hab铆a ahondado demasiado en ellas, me va a tocar investigar porque la tuya me parece divina 馃槏馃ぉ Su cara es muy dulce y la ropa se ve de tanta calidad, me encanta el estampado del vestido y c贸mo queda con la falda corta.
    ¡Un abrazo!
