I just got back from visiting family in Denver, CO. Turns out, Denver is awesome! All the houses seem to be made of brick and perfectly covered with ivy, the air smells great, and the mountains are beautiful. I did a teeny bit of shopping with my mom and she bought me these paper dolls. I swear, I did some nature stuff too.

As I wrestle with a mountain of rubber stamps, loose blobs of felting wool, and my tax receipts from 2007, I'm thinking; "Do I need to introduce more Japanese pose dolls into my life? There is only one answer, obviously.

I'm pretty obsessed with the outfit on the right. That's all. I snaked this from a new favorite fashion blog, Adventures After Hours.
I love this doll. And I'm not alone. There are kazillions of grown-ups playing with Blythes, which I think is awesome. Why not? Making tiny clothes for her is an activity I love doing! I always wanted to design clothes, and now I have my chance!
Therefore, I present to anyone interested, my new Etsy shop, Dollyannacowgirl. I'll be selling the dresses I make, as well as tiny-sized versions of Pollyannacowgirl jewelry. Hooray!
Also, I look like this now.

I came home from my visit to my parents' house to discover that Peter had bought me a gigantic box of craft supplies, clearly from someone's deceased grandmother. It included crochet needles of all sizes, tons of beads, felt, vintage hankies, and clothespins. So naturally, I looked up "clothespin dolls." This is the first thing I found.
How can I top this? Is there even any point? My heart is swelling with cute.
The site is all in Japanese and I can't tell if these dollies are still for sale, but check it out. Damn. I mean, damn.
