You know, one of those days when everything seems to go wrong! I was stocking my booth at Stars and not even TWO minutes in, I dropped and broke an item. Not even five minutes later, I dropped and broke something ELSE! I should have just turned around and gone home at that point.
Then the vendor across from me dropped and broke something . . . and I LAUGHED! sheesh. I explained that I had the ‘dropsies’ and had already broken two items. I was just putting out a darling porcelain doll. I hadn’t even taken pictures of the doll yet. I turned to grab my camera and CRASH! A customer had reached for an item next to the doll and knocked the doll to the ground, breaking her head!
Poor Dolly. And she was such a cute doll too. (WAS being the operative word!)
And this is what she looked like when I took her back home. To do WHAT with her, I had no idea! I just couldn’t throw here away .. . . not yet anyhow.
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe I’ll happen upon a porcelain doll head one of these days and can fix her up. But I’m still really TRYING to ‘de-clutter’ and only keep items that I can personally use (or collect!) or can sell. If it doesn’t fit either of those, I have to get rid of (donate) it.
She sat in my living room for a couple of days as I pondered her fate while sorting through my Halloween product and supplies. Hmmmmm???? I wonder what it would look like if I attached this little skull to her???
Not really ‘my style’ at all, but I do see a lot of these ‘creepy baby dolls’ around this time of year; so why not?
It she does sell, great! If not, I’ll donate her like I would have had to do anyhow. Nothing ventured, nothing gained; right?
She has gone to my booth at Stars, along with lots more Halloween goodies.
Here’s a peek at some more of the Halloween decor.

cute except for the doll replacement! :-O
If you don’t find a doll head replacement, you could make a fabric head — maybe no face?
I think the skelly head is perfect for the season.
Love your blog!
Love your blog!..Your Halloween items are great. Wish I lived closer.
AJ, Halloween is such a popular holiday with lots of adults who don’t even have children!! I think this might just sell to one of those who decorate their whole house or parts for the trick or treat kids to experience!! How much does she cost now?
