The Adventures of Sunsette -- Nova Scotia again, May 6

[Alliecat]

I made these a while ago for a "fantasy travels" album for Sunsette. Now that she has a sailor suit I think I should really re-do them, but... oh, they were so much work!


"Hands to the halyard...!!"


"Haul away!"


"Two points to starboard..."


"Well the main topsail brace!"


"I knew if I let him come there'd be trouble..."

[Cosmicheart]

soo cute!! I love them

[Alliecat]

My wee star hasn't been forgotten; she's just had to share the camera a little more lately.
After waiting very, very patiently for a sale, she got an early Christmas present. She was delighted.


"This is for meee!"



"Wheeee!"



"...and a picture to hang on the wall. Mum's been on this ship, you know. It's Amerigo Vespucci."
.
.
"Wait a minute. I don't have a wall. Am I getting a wall??"



She's after a job doing promo photos for the company.



...should one let one's li'l sis share one's perfect new bed?



Girlie party on the new bed!

"Aaaate tooooo maannyyy... blaaaah...."
... an unusual indulgence for a sailor, but we all have our weaknesses, I guess

[TrueFan]

ha ha, I was waiting for the party on the bed - aren't he other girls jealous?

[scrapsoflife]

That bed is precious!

[Severity]

"Am I getting a wall?" Made me laugh aloud. I love your stories with your girls so much!

[Alliecat]

Thank you, guys
I can't believe I found dolly bedding with sailing ships on it. I'm constantly boggled by the miniature items you can get. Building a full dollhouse sounds like a really eensive proposition!
I don't think the others are really jealous... Sunsette will share. They understand that maybe someday if space permits they might get beds of their own (and walls ). Scarlett's partial to bunk beds anyway.

Aw I'm glad you like them. Thanks!

[Chyntia]

Wauw I love the bed! So pretty! She looks so happy with it!
Hnmm would love to taste one of those cookies!!....

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

Ha! Love the piano! It was definitely worth whatever you paid for it.

[martah]

I also love the piano and they look very comfy at the beach.
That lighthouse you linked its amazing, loved the details.

[Jencut]

Squee I love your mini girls! They look like they're having a ball but my favourite has to be Rosalind playing the opera diva (a girl after my own heart) all your furniture looks fantastic, they are some very lucky ladies. I can see a grand house in their future lol Love, love, love!

[Alliecat]

Hee hee... I think with the exchange it was $7-something. Crazy! I've since seen it on another site for $18. It's really well-made too; it survived flying off the porch onto grass & a bit of gravel with no damage!

Isn't it fantastic. It's a OOAK and I bet she spent a fortune on the furnishings. Still, having the same nautical leanings, I'd like to do something similar some day.

Thank you They are great fun and easy to take anywhere. Well, Ros & Kai don't get as many adventures because they just aren't dressed appropriately and I think they'll stay stock.
I'd like to see a grand house in MY future first

Hahahahaha ditto!

I love that lighthouse house. (As you like lighthouses, some of the photos we took on this year's vacation might interest you.)
