If it’s not my favorite, it certainly is one of my top ten! I really like this Regency ensemble… it’s simple, yet very elegant at the same time. Who knew it was “Jane Austen July?” I didn’t realize it, but I guess this might be perfect timing! :o) (Thanks Dorothy!)
I knew American Girl Caroline had a spencer and bonnet, but I made myself not look at it to see what I came up with. Well, Linda sent me pictures of her Felicity wearing Caroline’s set and it does look like mine… sort of. Her bonnet is felt, Linda said, and the dress is Josefina’s. But you get the idea… Felicity looks pretty sweet in it, doesn’t she? Thanks Linda!
Before I show my pictures of Elizabeth, I wanted to show you what my hubby collected yesterday! He was beaming from ear to ear!
I have LOTS of pictures to show you…we had quite the photo shoot and all the pictures were just so pretty, I hated to cut any out! Elizabeth seconded that! I took some with the flash and some without… but they all had my Ott light shining on her. I’d be interested to see which pictures you like the best…
Oh yes, and these aren’t the final pics, because Rebecca is going to make a pretty necklace to go with this set! Yippee!
So, here are 18 pictures to keep you busy for a few minutes! I hope you enjoy them as much as we did taking them.
A little bit about how I embellished the bonnet… I first glued a strip of the dark red grosgrain ribbon to the inside of the bonnet where I joined the 2 sections of the hat together to keep the dolls hair from catching on the rough edges of the straw. It was too wide, and too stiff to use as the tie under her chin so I used a black rayon ribbon to pick up the color in the dress and buttons. The ribbon worked fine on the top of the hat and I glued a strip across the hat to give it some definition and then began adding flowers… some silk and some paper. The greenery is some wispy leaves I like to use.
Well, that’s all the eye candy for today. My hubby has a follow up appointment for his knee so I’ll be out most of the day. I’ll try to check in if I can…
Oh…and my sisters and their hubby’s are coming Saturday for a few days! Another Yippee! :o)
Thanks everyone,
See you tomorrow,
Blessings, Jeanne
