A little bit of fun

This is the nature scene painted 

on the right side of my newest little house.....

 

 

and on the other side of the house 

is this lovely tree in bloom......

 

 

 

My newest little house is an English Amersham from the 1930-40s.

Here is the front door and the red flowers painted there....

 

 

and the greenery around the garage....

 

 

 But this post isn't about this new little house...the only connection to this little house is that i found it on eBay....as I have all but 2 of my little houses. I am addicted to surfing eBay. I can't say it is cheap entertainment because I end up buying too many things....99% of which are doll house related. 

One thing that does entertain me, and IS free on ebay, is discovering the eBay ID that other members have given themselves. And that is what this post is about. Probably because my eBay ID is so dorky, I started noticing others and it made me wonder just why I picked the one I did. But I know why, my son was visiting and insisted that I sign up for eBay that very day....little did he know what he would be starting! So this is just a little bit of fun, and if you find your eBay ID listed here, please know that seeing it made me smile!

 

....and listed in the order that I discovered them......

a Happy Valentine's Day to You!

Royalty is coming to the Village

Deep in the Jasmine Forest is the home of Lady Constance...in the small Castle of Keystone. It is quiet and peaceful in her secluded home....actually, Lady Constance thinks it is getting to be quite boring.

 Do I see someone coming thru the leaves and brambles  toward us?

 

 

 

I do, I do! Wonder just who it is....

 

 

 

Could it be, could it actually be....

 

 

It is!! It's Lady Constance herself!

 

   

 

Is she waiting for someone....a secret rendezvous perhaps?

  

 

 

This exquisite porcelain doll is the creation of an extremely talented artist, Diane Taylor, of LaBohème Dolls. All of Diane's dolls are a one of a kind creation....from pouring the slip to painting, wigging, and the final stitch on the original creation each doll wears. Although the doll house sized dolls are my favorite, Diane makes other sizes...13", 18", and 22".  You can see some of her 5.5" doll house dolls in this gallery.   Diane will create these dolls for you, or she will custom make these lovely dolls to your specifications.

 

 

 

  

Lady Constance is Diane's creation and I am in total awe of her attention to detail in this beautiful period piece costume.  I mentioned to Diane that I liked the Tudor period of England, and she came up with this fabulous creation.....

 

 

 

...with the exquisite detail extending from her delicate headpiece down to the diamond rings on her fingers.

 

 

Another line of Diane's is her Gypsy Hollow Creations, one of a kind original figurative sculptures.  In her Topo Pòpolus series, my favorite is Saladmae, an exotic salad dancer/caterer....maybe it was the bucket of brownies she had with her that made me like her best...but Mary Queen of Scotch was a close second! Diane will even make a sculpture of your favorite pet dressed in a costume depicting his personality....see well-loved special pets at Strange Beasts.

  

Lady Constance has decided it is time for her to create a life for herself outside of the Jasmine Forest. She instructed her lady-in-waiting to pack her trunks and call for her coach to take her to the Village.

 

  

 

She turns to take one last look at her ancestral home....and hopes that her entourage will be along soon with her trunks....before the carriage arrives.

It's getting dark, where are her trunks and that darn carriage?
