Country Living in the City

I love this post, especially the 11? year old girl. I wish my environment I was providing for my daughter was like this too. It is nearly the same and am trying.

A lovely blog indeed.

The photos are so well composed and the colors so gorgeous that I wasn't surprised to see that she has an Etsy shop. Well, my younger son berated me for looking at dolls because "we don't need anything like that". He'd noticed the prices, I think.

I said to him that I liked that sort of doll, which was why I made them each a (much-loved) Raggedy Andy/Ann when they were younger. Also, that if I wanted to buy one, it would be because they're so attractive and so nicely made. Hm, said Mr. Macho.

That aside, her dolls are beautiful. She has a very good eye for design and detail. I just love the hair on some of them - by using fluffier wools they look so realistic.

Thanks for sharing that one, Br.

Oops, just realised I went completely off topic there - she has a lovely sense of home and it would certainly benefit her children.

I've just starting looking through her photostream - everything is beautiful, pantry included! What bliss!

It is a very popular blog. I haven't actually been to her etsy shop but have seen the new dolls that she posts.

I can see why the doll Lisa is more expensive, she is gorgeous!
