The Adventures of Sunsette -- Texas Travels, Part II— Apr. 12

[Alliecat]

So I should stop trawling around eBay looking at dolly stuff. It's not good for the budget. But, this was a ridiculous bargain.

First, the girls have some new deck chairs. Sunsette, Scarlett & Marie went to the beach. (Ros & Kai weren't dressed for it.)


Not sure I'd have believed it if you'd told me I would one day get out old Barbie stuff again (the table & mugs).



Scarlett wanted to build an inukshuk but it kept blowing over.



Enjoying the sun.



When we got back they had a wee party on the deck. Sunsette's telling stories.

Thennn... the really ridiculous-bargain was that, unplanned, they got a piano.



Everybody had a go.





Now Rosalind really looks like an opera diva.



Kailani, the classical pianist, plays strange tunes that may be mermaid music...



Scarlett looks like she probably sings enthusiastically but off-key. Sunsette, on-key and mostly sweet, but occasionally just a bit raucous and sailor-y. The other three, I imagine, would make a lovely chorus.

Oh dear. My dolls are accumulating furniture.
Y'all realize what this means, right...?
Eventually I will have to get them a house to put it in.
Sigh.
The girls (mostly Sunsette) have picked out their dream house. Which would mean mum has to buy the kit and build it. I told them that if it ever starts to look like I might get my dream house, they'll get theirs.

Bonus pic: This turned into a hazardous shoot. There was enough of a breeze to be annoying, but when the wind sucked the backdrop, Scarlett AND the piano right off the porch, I feared disaster. Sunsette does all her own movie stunts, but she had to concede that Scarlett's dive off a 4 1/2-foot porch was epic. Thank goodness everything was intact. Here's Scarlett pointing out how far she fell.



Thanks for looking
