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

[werepuppy]

With braveness, comes great - and fabulous - changes. It heightens her adorable by ... 5 points.

I have to say that I enjoyed all of your vacation shots, looking at all of the sites and views from the plane and around land. Such breath-taking views!

Your girls look so cute, and the new wig is definitely a nice upgrade! And, just love the tiny furniture; it's so cute!

Thank you everybody! Sunsette appreciates the nice comments
It might still be a little too long; will see about a trim maybe. Also kinda too much 'bangs' and in her face, but I cut them too short last time, so will see how that works out too before trying to cut them.

Double kudos for being able to give it a salon-worthy trim, too! (That looks really difficult to do well.) She looks adorable.

Heh. Thanks. I googled... got people-hair videos so just kinda improvised on what they said. I have never actually cut human hair other than my bangs! The little salon 'wave' in her bangs is package-hair-effect from shipping!

I'm glad you liked the pix. I'm still sorting my own; Sunsette got first dibs The furniture was my grandparents' ... made from little sardine cans or the like. Hopefully they'd be amused that the dolls are using it.

The new wig makes her look even more fantastic (as I'm sure she knows ).

And the little pieces of furniture are made out of sardine cans? That's amazing.

Sunsette looks so glamorous now with the new wig! It's surprising, that even though it's the same color, it makes such a difference.

"Hi Everyone!
"Thank you for the nice comments.  It was actually pretty hard to find Just The Right Colour Wig.  I feel really glamorous now!  And yep, the seats of the little chairs are some kind of can top or bottom.
"Our neighbour brought us a bouquet of her not-yet-ex'pired birthday flowers because she was going away.  Lots of the crew have had their pictures taken this week.  Here are mine!"








"I think this one is my favourite."



"Or maybe this one."






"As always, mahalo nui for looking!
"Love, Sunsette"

Sunsette's new do looks so great matched with the roses.

[neon_jellyfish]

Oh, what a glamorous photoshoot! PTFCo's no.1 looks gorgeous among the roses!

[Lejays17]

She looks amazing with the flowers - they are such a beautiful colour

[werepuppy]

Oh, Sunsette, you look so lovely! The colour match there is just amazing.

[dargosmydaddy]

Awww!

I see the word "glamorous" at least a couple of times here, and that is definitely the proper descriptor for the new hairstyle!

The lovely red colors, in both the flowers and in Sunsette's hair, are striking and vibrant in these photos.

[Alliecat]

Thank you very much, everybody!
Alas, we had to compost the roses yesterday; they were done... but they were the perfect colour, weren't they!

"OK, Mum says the title is misleading because it makes it sound like we actually went sailing, and we didn't really (ferries don't count).  BUT, we WERE on a boat.... so there.
"Mum took us to see the nao Santa Maria, a replica of Columbus's ship from 1492.  In a roundabout way, sailing ships led Mum to dolls, and I was the first to start the crew here, so I was really excited to finally see a real one.  Of course I took my lil sis."


"BOAT!!!!"






"The wood is beautiful."



"Wheeeeeeee!!!  We'reonaboatwe'reonaboatwe'reonaboat....!!!!"






"Columbus had the only cabin.  Everybody else slept wherever they could find some sheltered space on deck (and there isn't much!)."



"This would be his little office."



"What some of their containers and tools were like."



"Yep, it steers with a joystick.  ...!!  This is a whipstaff, which they used before ships had wheels.  You basically shove the tiller back and forth with it.  Mum said, 'ugh'!"



"Here it is again, looking toward the main and foremasts.  The crew speak some English, and some better than others.  Mum had a good chat with one guy, but the second one really stalled when she started asking how the lines differed from those on an 18th-century square sail..."



"Why are all these tourists aboard of here?  Let's get 'em off and get this tub underway!"



"Haaaands to the halyard!!"
"(Well, it might be a halyard...)"



"Wheee, there are cannons!!  Two, six, heave!!!  Mum, can we shoot something???"



"Pleeeeeeaaase??"



"Man the capstan!"



Scarlett:  "Or, we could just have a nap on it..."
Sunsette:  "Yeah... that works too...."



"Here's Scarlett down below with a definitely-not-we-sized deadeye."



"We had a great time.  The sound of water lapping against the hull, the feel of a coil of line, and the smell, which Mum said was oh so familiar.  But, although the lady she talked to longest encouraged her to volunteer, she's not too sure about this one.  It's pretty primitive... Mum said it looks like it rolls like a *#%^!! too, and the crew pretty much confirmed that.  Look how high it is."



"Some decorations on the wharf that we thought were cute."



"Mum also says she is ovverrrr ittt with the ferry, especially with annoying schedule restrictions like this 'dangerous goods' crossing.
"Dang right we're dangerous!!....
"Dangerously CUTE!!"

..."What do you mean it's not for us?"

"Thanks for reading!
"Love, Sunsette"
