I just love this mannequin I purchased last spring in the darling town of Diamond Springs, CA. She's been waiting for me to get my studio tidy enough to really appreciate her and now I'm ready to play dress-up with her. Today, I took off her Holiday attire in favor of something soft and sparkly. The tiara and crystal necklace look so pretty against the silky sparkly scarf I found at Empress on Main Street in Placerville. I tried it with and without the antique shoes. They're so cute, I included a picture, but I think I'll leave them off till I re-do her for Easter.
She still doesn't have a name.... Just haven't come up with the right one, yet. :)

This darling girl shares my workspace and I love dressing her for holidays. Although I will soon be switching her to an Easter outfit, I wanted to squeeze in St. Patrick's day. For this outfit I used Sari's I collected from a favorite thrift store which happens to be in an area with a large Indian population. I'm so lucky! I pick up the Sari's and the beautiful scarves for just $2.00 each. When I found her she didn't have a knob on top, so my little nest of handmade/handpainted birdies have their nest up there. The perfect spot to view my work in progress.
