Christmas preparations

 Today a post about Christmas Preparations 2022 with Tuesday Taylor.

I had to choose a vintage bombshell as none of todays beauties would bother with multiply complex dishes, dirty pots and oven operating on rotation... kitchen and decor is cute however!

Clay gingerbreads and paper mache loaf :-)

Some jamtarts in progress...

...while she waits for oven to heat up - she decorates...

Oh hii!

Mildly christmassy clothes - but oh! so much to do...

Yum, icing is try now- time to move these into tin...

...or for artistic purposes she can pose by the oven LOL

Oh, after all of this I feel that she needs a glam session...

P.S. more handmade cakes - bottle caps, painted kitchen roll with glue

Brighton miniatures

 One sunny post-lockdown day I took myself down to Brighton.

You can go there by train and it meant to be a date (he bailed out due to ill mental health) but still I don't need a man to keep me busy...

I've seen everything and also in one of charity shops stumbled upon bags of dollhouse miniatures. They weren't cheap so could only choose one (meant to resale but you know what happened). Really happy with that one - very little bourgeoise pastel crap ;-)

Enjoy!

Tadaa!

Two storage / laundry baskets

Nursery essentials but tasteful...

Cute ceramic bottle and cup

Spectacular basket and knitting set (how cool is that!!)

...fabrics (oh...must set up an atelier / craftroom for dolls...)

Copper and enamel pots with tasty broth...

Tres bourgeoise set that has to go!

Almost cute and useful baby that can pose...

Brand new toot toot!

...and my favs - jam tarts in making, dusty bowl of cherries and a very realistic chop...

Non-doll related (imagine!) - few snapshots of the bright and jolly Brighton...

For those of you that don't know - yes, it is like a British San Francisco - artsy, creative, alternative, gay

ok, ok and pavilon...

Obligatory  one...

..not exactly holidays - but felt like a massive trip at the time - post lockdowns...

Morning Tate

 That week's #monday4dolls challenge theme was #food.

We could interpreted it any way we wanted to.

I only had vintage plasticky foods at the time but my room diorama sat on desk by the window so had lovely 'morning light' in doll's kitchen...

built at night....

...to gain new life in the morning...

Mmm, rather healthy.. (with my polymer clay edam and cold meats selection)

Well stored cupboard Ken!

Healthy snacks and good read....

Such a nice ambience.... 

ah, there he is!!

...maybe yogurth?

...yeah, such a nice weather...maybe later...

...and more not so contemporary or intriguing details...

Thanks for reading...

P.S. This has been my 500th post! (despite of 2 years backlog LOL)
