Now, where were we...?
Oh yes... the Last weekend of the Faire... to conclude...
T'was a Jolly
Celtic Christmas Weekend!
at the
at
The Grand Finale! the 8th Weekend!
Starting with Black Friday...
They came for the Sales. They came for the Camaraderie.
for Tradition and Cool Weather and Christmas
And, bless them, they came, once again, for the Dolls!
Barreling forward into It's-Almost-Over-Saturday...
And yet... It's not over 'til it's over.....
for example...
Once upon this last Time in the Doll Shoppe,
there was a very handsome Shaman Doll.
Exceedingly handsome.
Alas, one day,
the Dollmaker noticed a very bad scratch on his nose
A terrible scratch which penetrated through the fabric and
basically could not be repaired.
For a time she despaired, taking the wounded Shaman home
to see if anything could be done.
Several weeks passed- nothing.
But then one day
The Dollmaker came across a Mask which she had put aside...
It was part-human-part-bird.. and it looked like the perfect size!
Indeed it was! It fit right over the damaged nose!!!
perfect. The Shaman was saved.
Altered forever, but saved.
So, on the next to the last day of the faire,
Neighbor Nic ambled into the Doll Shoppe
and noticed the Shaman for the first time...
the Dollmaker hesitatingly disclosed the details of his secret Story..
how he was compelled to wear a mask to cover an unhealed wound..
And Nic loved it!
He loved the Real Story of what happened to this Doll!
He immediately saw a connection to The Phantom of the Opera-
the tragic story of a disfigured genius...
and he knew that this was his Doll of the Year!
Wow.
Eventually... the Grande Final Weekend concluded with
Ta-ta-for-Now Sunday.
Right Ho!
So... On the Final Day of the Faire, the Ladies of the Doll Shoppe
exchange gifts- it being Jolly ole Celtic Christmas and all..
so... The Dollmaker had some fun creating a
Special Order Lady Pin
for the easiest person in the world to Parody..
(perhaps you recognize Andrea as "the bad girl" in the Arsene Show..)
And so... on that note, the Faire ended.
See you next year!
Right!
So... After all THAT....
The Dollmaker made a few Dolls in
one Doll changed Hairdos completely
before she ever left the Workshop!
(The Enchantress)
The Green Cat
She knew she wanted a Butterfly
But Where did she want the Butterfly to Alight...?
Which spot would you choose?
Breakfast with the Clauses
The Dollmaker's Trip to the North Pole
for Breakfast with the Clauses...
She knew, as she approached, that this was the right place...
So, Santa made Breakfast...
(Right! Who knew Santa could cook!)
while Mrs. Claus proudly showed off her
Santa Bear Collection...
One Bear for each year of their marriage!
And many people don't know this
but Santa is a Precision Model Train Aficionado!
Using photos from the 1920's
he builds replicas of actual historical buildings,
and precise, scaled-down versions of real locomotives.
He also hand-makes tiny trees, cardboard and plaster mountains
and he even uses people less than a half an inch tall!
The Dollmaker had so much fun Trading Trinkets this season
she even made a Trinket Trader Doll!
And now it's time to
restock the Trinkets!
Small ones for the Dolls, larger ones for Shoppe Trading.
December marked the end of another good year for the
The Dollmaker plans to start the New Year out with
Large Greenman Wall Mandalas
To this end she has researched images online and made a collage
of 25 Greenman Heads for study.
Kendra Swope, who has an amazing collection of Wee Peeple Dolls,
also has a considerable collection of Greenman Wall Heads
which she kindly shared with the Dollmaker:
(oh yes- check out Kendra Swope's impressive Wee Peeple Doll Collection)
While December was a busy month for Christmas Dollmaking
the Dollmaker found time to work on her paintings...
A Silvery Blustery Winter Painting for the North Wall
And while there is always much more to say
at the end of
whatever contrived Time Period we structure for ourselves
to pass through..
what feels the best- always-
is just-
Thank you.
