If I Could, I Surely Would (well...maybe)

Doorbells TWICE (so far) have interrupted Baby Boy's nap this morning. Not that I'm complaining. Well, except that since THGGM painted the doorbells in the living room, he put them up backwards and instead of chiming DING DONG, they now chime DONG DING. Not that it would require a rocket scientist to change them. Although it would require ME to stand on something to reach it, and that is still frowned upon by my loving family. So, if you come to my front door and I answer it looking agitated, it isn't because of you. It's because of the DING DONG who DONG DINGED up my doorbell!

Anyway...

While Baby Boy is sleeping, I snuck off to http://www.curioussofa.blogspot.com/ They are having a sale on their Carol Bulton sofas. I have been crazy about Carol Bulton's stuff since her mother and sister first appeared in an issue of Home Companion many years ago. These sofas are selling for close to 2/3 off the original price.

I've found the one I want. And I DO have a birthday coming up soon.

Go look. I want the "Friends Sofa".

But, I will continue to be content with the love seat THGGM found at the thrift store.

I suppose that in the grand scheme of things, I might become a wee bit more upset were Baby Boy to draw on the "Friends Sofa" with the remains of his bottle.

If you are a person of 'means', go visit Curious Sofa and BUY yourself an original Carol Bulton. If you are a person of moderate means, simply visit and drool. If you are a mean person.., just go.

Ohhhhhh...Too Too Cute!

I was hoping to find a cute little dress for New Baby (she does already have a name).

I was absolutely THRILLED to find this one at the thrift store this morning.

The little china doll represents about the size that she is right now.

She is a VERY active little thing. Just like her mama!

This is a close up of the embroidered kittens.

I LOVE them! If Daughter doesn't approve, I still have the large baby doll that Daughter got for Christmas when she was just 14 months old and we were eagerly awaiting the birth of Youngest Son.

Yes. This will look LOVELY on that old doll, covered with Desitin though she be.

Last night I bought the new issue of Stamper's Sampler, which had a feature on onesies.

So, since I was at the thrift store today, I bought them out of newborn and 3-6 month onesies.

Oh...I have plans! Such plans!

OH! I Just LOVE This!

I ordered this adorable charm from the Etsy Shop at http://www.turkeyfeathers.typepad.com/ Isn't it the cutest little charm you have ever seen? This was made by Vicki's daughter, Grace. She also makes fabulous little things like this for dollhouses. My dollhouse project is coming along more slowly than I'd hoped, but I could not resist the charm! Even the packaging is cute cute cute!
