Go Fly a Kite!

It was a gorgeous fall day, so the girls decided it was time to go out and have some fun. There was a brisk breeze blowing which made for perfect kite flying weather. It was also the perfect day to don some new fall outerwear and you know how these divas are, they will use any excuse to show off new clothes.


 
 
Polly decided it was the perfect day to wear her adorable new pumpkin hat. Of course she had to brag that she had her hat custom made by: Bellas Precious Paragons.
 
 
Anyway, enough about Polly. Anabelle and Ramona have their kites and want to have fun.
 Did you notice Ramona's cute little kite? It is actually a vintage pin from Avon. Doll props can be find in all sorts of places, you just need to keep your eyes and your mind open.
 
Anabelle's kite was made by me using my embroidery machine, and a technique called free standing lace.


 
 
I made Margot's and Ramona's hair bows using the same technique. It is one of my favorite ways to use my machine.
 
 
See anything different about Margot?  She has a brand new body! I removed her original and replaced it with a Pure Neemo body. I just love the articulation.
 

Anabelle asked the other girls if they wanted to use her kite because she wanted to go in.  She thought she would make the girls a snack, that would give her a chance to use her new mixer.

Isn't it perfect? Can you guess what it really is? Well, if you are a regular blog reader, I am sure that you have correctly guessed that it is a Christmas ornament. They came in different colors, but the black one looks great in the kitchen. As I said, you never know where you will find just the perfect things for your girls.

The other great place to find things like Annabelle's coat and hat and the lace kite and hair bows is my Etsy shop, The Black Onyx Boutique.

 
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
