~ Autumn ~


Summer has already come to an end .

Really?
So quickly?

Disappointed?
Errrrrrrrrrr...

NOT A SINGLE BIT!!!

And you know why?

Well , simply because now has come my absolute favourite season: AutUmN


Time to slowly dive into the new season with a touch of pink.

The colours around are starting to change into something that warms up my heart and is stimulating my senses!
Does it do it to you too?

This is how, little by little , the Pink Angel came to the world.

Something warm: a rich bonbon pink

Something soft: her immaculate wings

Something that smells lovely : Her rose-like dress with 2 giant petals at the back.

Speaking of senses, the new season is bringing back its share of extraordinary fruits .

Not just extraordinary, ...beautiful, colourful,with rich textures, sweet, juicy and full of vitamines.

Just went to pick up some for a friend who loves to make compotes and jams...hmmmmmmmmmm!!!

I cannot help but feel the urge to share with you these adverts.








Autumn is simply inspiring.
In fact, I just cannot wait to finish this new doll.


See where I am going?

He!he! Well , I am not so sure of where I am going but all I know is where I come from.

It was fun to line up all the styles of dolls I have been making for several years and it just brought a big smile on my face.



What will the future bring. How will the dolls evolve?

AAAAAAaaaaaah dear Autumn, I had been waiting for you!
We are going too have so much fun!

I love you.

Let's have a stroll together at Covent Garden


Welcome to London!


Let's jump out of the taxi.

I am pleased to have you by my side to spend some time here in Covent Garden.





Come on! let's hurry! I think it is about to rain, so we'd better rush under the big arcade.Shall we do some shopping together?

Let's have a look at the windows.


Would you like some perfume maybe?

Or...


... something unusual , colourful and absolutely useless ?

Hhmmm...


I think I could definitely take one of those hot air balloons at home.

Oh! LOOK!!


Strawberries dipped in white chocolate!!!

That would be a bit naughty!


In fact, I am starting to be a little hungry. Aren't you?

Where shall we eat?

Lets'a have a look around.



Oh! I love it here!!! The crowd, a big paëlla and someone is playing the violin in the corner.

I simply love the atmosphere.

Don't you?
...


After a lovely break, I think we ought to move on.

We have some dolls to deliver.

Let's pop to the shop!


My oh my! Are these giant dollies?


Bree and Louisa are sweet, funny and ever so creative young ladies.

I am in love with their Lolita looks.

If you ever want to adopt this style, Louisa makes incredible dresses and jewels right here!

Chit chat and giggles, the shop is crowded and everyone has a smile and is so friendly.

Time to play one last time with the dolls.

It is always a bit difficult to say goodbye.


I know the dolls are in good hands though.



Let's tiptoe out and let the dolls know a little bit more about the lovely store.

Soon they will be going to a loving family.

Back to the massive Victorian shopping mall.
You can learn a lot about the fascinating background of the place here.
Let's wander a bit in the past...





... and gently step back into the present..Modern or past, I do love the spirit of Covent Garden.

Time flies, it is time to part my dear friends.

I hope you've enjoyed the little tour.

There is soooooooooooooooooooo much to say about this place.

Maybe one day, if you have the chance to visit London, just give me a call and I will be more than happy to take you there as I once did with a dear blog friend and artist Deidra Doan. But this is another story...

4 sisters



Once upon a time there were 4 sisters who loved toy theatres.


Their names were Natasha, Louise, Claire and Kim.

Kim and Natsha were twins.





They decided to go for a trip to London as they heard there was a lovely shop where they could find their favourite toys. The shop was called Benjamin Pollocks Toyshop and was located in Covent Garden.


They wore their favourite dresses for the special occasion and also their favourite bonnets.
Natasha never wore hats as she found them itchy and thought it would hide her beautiful fair hair.


After a wonderful day spent in London, the 4 sisters had all come back with a treasure.

Louise, who was the eldest, chose a lovely toy thatre so she could play and tell stories to her younger sisters.


Claire, chose a treasure box decorated with her favourite puppet show "Punch and Judy".



Natasha, who loved bright colours, bought an Harlequin puppet. She would play with it and hang it in her bedroom.



Kim, who was only 12 minutes younger than Natasha, chose a carousel.

She just loved it so much!


But started having second thoughts when she looked at her twin's lovely puppet.

"Will you let me play with your puppet Natasha?"


"Of course Kim, we can share because that's what sisters are for."

Aaaaaaaaaah if only the whole world could get on as well as dolls do!

I am happy to present you these 4 new dolls initially made for a challenge on ADO .

Claire, Natasha and Louise will be exclusively found at Benjamin Pollock's Toyshop ( link in sidebar).

Little Kim will stay in my house. She just made my heart melt.

It was a real pleasure to make their little toys.

I hadn't made a mini theatre for so long!

The mini carousel comes from a lovely ETSY store called Open House Miniatures. I just fell in love wit the lovely creations there.

The dolls will be at Benjamin's Pollock Toyshop next week. I will share photos with you! Cannot wait to take photos there. The place is so inspiring!

Much love to you all my dear friends!

Thanks and welcome to all the new followers.

It is a pleasure to have you here. I hope you will like it in my dolly universe.
