Play Misty For Me

Well I have finally caught up with reading your blogs and finding out what you have all been up to in the past week during my absence.

In the meantime, Misty has been up to mischief again this morning and has taken over the upright piano . . . here she is singing her little head off. Just quietly, I think she thinks she's Winifred Atwell . . . probably a bit before your time, but she was a great ragtime pianist. I saw her live back in the early sixties (when I was a child), at the Melbourne Town Hall and she sure could tinkle those ivories! I did tell Misty to "please put some clothes on", but she told me she's misplaced her nickers. :)

Well I hesitate to say, but I have begun my week by purchasing more Sylvanian Families furniture! How could I not, when ToysEtc still had their sale on and FREE SHIPPING again today . . . that's two weekends in a row (I wonder if they do that every weekend?).

The lounge suite / coffee table set was reduced from $19.99 to just $13.99 and the complete kitchen set from $39.95 to just $27,95, so with the FREE DELIVERY it worked out to be quite a saving.

It cost me $40 for just a 1/12 scale settee and stove from The Doll Shop, which turned out to be too large for my needs, so that will be returned tomorrow and exchanged for something more suitable.

Woeful Week

Haven't felt like doing much of anything this week, except trying to get over this dreaded lurgy. I don't know about you, but I find it very difficult to concentrate on anything for more than a minute or two when my head is full of mucus and my body is aching all over!!

Here I was thinking I'd get so much done this week while hubby was away . . . fat chance!! However, I did manage to take a couple of quick snaps of Misty shopping for sweeties and curling up in her new bed with her recently acquired iPad (BTW she gave me explicit instructions to assemble them as "beds not bunks").

I will catch up with you all, it just may take me a little while.

Missing

Well the heading could mean anything, but besides missing you all and me being missing from the blogger-sphere, somehow it seems like I lost seven days this week!!

Having said that, I haven't been completely idle. I have been working on my tree stump and did manage to go to the movies with hubby, as well as buy myself some little things to "play" with.

Saw this case in Wooja and thought it would make a great portable room for my Real Pukis. They had other colours too!

These will save a lot of time as a base to build on, they are stackable when closed, so won't take up too much room and are very reasonably priced. I hadn't planned to make more than one room, until I saw the Sylvania furniture below . . . now I'm thinking of making several!!

Found all these (which are the perfect size for RP's) at Toys etc online. They had the best prices I'd seen on Sylvanian Families furniture, with free delivery and and extra 5% discount off your first order if your subscribed to their newsletter.

This bunk bed comes apart so you can have three separate beds if you prefer.

Compared to the prices I found at Toys'R'us, I saved over $30 (not including petrol) and had them delivered right to my front door!

The sweet store doesn't come with the critters, but it does come with the lolly pops etc. and I thought it would make a great additional prop to have on hand.

Tic Tock I'm Not a Clock

Found these yesterday at Wooja for just $7.50 each and they are a perfect size for my PukiFees kitchen!

They really are digital clocks, but how cute are they as doll props? There was a refrigerator there as well, but of course it was RED and not entirely suited for the PukiFees green and yellow kitchen. I suppose we could always re-decorate, but I don't want to get side tracked from completing the Tree Stump.

And wouldn't you know it, a small parcel arrived while we were out, so I was up, showered and dressed in good time to pick this little sugar pie up earlier today.

She's such a little cutie, the tan is simply gorgeous and I just love her face with her freckled nose and lips puckered ready for a kiss. Now she needs some clothes to wear. :)

Office Furniture

This office furniture will be the correct size for my Little Fees, but before they had a chance to try it out Cadbury, Hershey and Lindt commandeered it!

They should have received a good talking to after climbing all over it with their shoes on, but it's hard to tell them off when they look at you with faces like these. :)

Cadbury

Hershey

Lindt

You may have noticed Cadbury and Lindt are sporting new wigs from For My Doll . . . they have some really great wigs in lots of different colours. These are so darn cute and having the ability to colour co-ordinate them to match their dresses was a bonus.

Ante & Ziorina Go Shopping

The girls found these at Ikea, Springvale . . .  6 pieces (bookcase, settee, pillow, chair, table and rug) for just $14.99. I'm not over the moon about the combination of colours, but that can be easily fixed with some fabric and a little imagination.
