Our theme for November is Fairy Tales. Fairy Tales bring to mind our own childhoods or that of our children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, other children, or even just our own second childhood. After all, we "still play with dolls" so we are all having an ongoing childhood! Our challenge for the month is to show how you featured fairy tales in miniature.
To participate, please send in a picture (no more than two pics, please) and a brief description to Barbara Thornton-Hill at bathca@gmail.com and we will post it HERE.
Don’t forget to include your mailing address. We have a gift for you .... but it might not ship until the end of the month. Please try to be patient with us. We are volunteers!
This month's sample challenge comes from Debbie Colombo:
Many years ago, I saw this Mother Goose doll by Julie Campbell on eBay ... way before I even knew who she was. Something about her 'spoke' to me, perhaps since I had just come back from a trip to Boston and saw Mother Goose's grave. The bit of space around her gave me an idea to put some characters from Fairy Tales and Nursery Rhymes around her, so I was on the hunt.
I do not remember who did the Humpty Dumpty on the left side bottom book, but Hansel and Gretel in the same location are by Julie Stevens. I also do not know who did the three bears nor the big bad wolf and the three 3 pigs, I got them at a miniature estate sale. Little Bo Peep is an Ethel Hicks doll and my favorite is Puss in Boots by Cat Wingler. I am always on the hunt though the pieces must be small. Perhaps I can find a bit more room for another?
