Our Newest Addition

Jenaya

4lbs 6ozs 19 inches 09-12-08

Newborn-Reborn Baby Girl an Original Creative Impressions Doll Kit, Sweet Heart Collection.

Sculpted by Cathy Rowland. Limited addition of 250. This is #123.

She was reborn by Doll Maker and Artist Mary J. Booker of CA. using the Genisus Heat System.

This beautiful baby girl arrived at our shop today! Her name is Jenaya and she came beautifully dressed along with other outfits.

She has cute little pierced ears (with a collection of faux earrings in different colors). She wears size 0-3 month clothing. This new baby is not a play doll and is a quality collectible and needs to be handled gently.

Her hair is hand rooted mohair which can be gently brushed. Her hair can be gently washed with baby detangler shampoo and then combed when lightly moisteded with leave-in hair conditioner. She has perfect little nails on her fingers and toes, her nose has been opened and new beautiful real style eyes have been added. She is filled with tiny glass beads for additional weight. She is also magnatized to hold her pacifer to her mouth and has hair bows that are magnets also. This doll should not be around anyone with a pacemaker or any electronic devises (ie. computers, microwaves) nor placed around a credit card!

Mary Booker is the artist behind this reborn. She has "Sugar Babies Nursery" and is truly a great artist. This is a true to life looking baby from skin down to her little eyelashes!

Have not really decided if she will be for sale yet. She would be a cute Valentine Gift for a special lady as her outfit she is wearing looks like a littel Valentine. Am considering as would like to purchase more newborn/reborn babies in the future. Let me know what you think of her!

We are delighted to have her as a "foster child" for awhile!

Lexington Trip Continued!

These are some of the beautiful necklaces by tribalwitch. Please check out her site thru my link. So very talented, quality workmanship, great beading and beautiful stones. The one to the far right is really unique. She used a postcard that says "Fortune Teller" mounted and decoupaged. Too cute!

Lexington Trip to U.K. Med

Thank You Dear Blogger Friends! I feel prayers were answered. The CT Scan showed multiple sisks in my sinus cavities as well as an "extreme deviated septum" which will require surgery ASAP. Good news is: sisks will not grow or become cancerous, they can fix my sinuses where I will be able to breath which will help the sleep apnea and possibly do away with CPAP Unit. They want to do it soon, but we will have to wait for Insurance to approve it. We are tentatively scheduled for March 12, but could be sooner. Not getting enough oxygen thru my nose is also causing these headaches as well as difficulty sleeping. So I can be fixed. Yea!!!
I stayed in Lexington overnight with my Mom and while there got to visit with a new blogger friend tribalwitch (Lisa) who happens to live within a mile of my mom! Lisa like to barter her hand made jewelry and as you will see below it is BEAUTIFUL! We had fun visiting and bartering our wares. Lisa gave me the cute hand-did tribal style dolly pin cushion! It is darling with her bright colors and crocheted hair. She holds pins and Jewelry Pins. Just love her! Thanks Lisa for inviting me over, I truly enjoyed our visit. Loved your cute Kitty's.

Blessings

Dear Friends,

Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers! It means so much to me! May God bless everyone of you.

I will probably not be able to do another blog until Friday evening. So much to do while in Lexington. I will be staying with my 83 year old mother. She no longer drives, so after my appointments will be taking her to the grocery and helping her get her errands done. Try to visit her and stay overnight every 4 to 6 weeks. More often in the spring and summer.

This is my favorite Bible, an old King James Version that I have had since I was 12 years old. It is a comfort to have this with me for so many years. Also my favorite little angel I received when my dear Grandmother passed away at 101 years of age.

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotton Son, whosoever

beliveth in him shall not perish, but have ever lasting life"

John 3:16

Blessings to you and yours until meet again!

Sunday Afternoon Tea and a chat!

Welcome to our Tea Party!

Such a gloomy day and what better way to spend the afternoon than indoors with tea, cookies and friends and conversation.

Right now Iam pondering allot of different things that are on my mind. Business, health, helping others and the list goes on! Our world is changing so fast now, the economy, layoffs, shorter work weeks, high prices on just about everything. What else can we give? Long for the days I remember as a child when everyone knew their neighbors and helped each other! We have become a society of wanting everything and wanting it now. Life has truly changed for us baby boomers, and many more changes are coming. What can we do to help? Get involved! I agree with my friend Pamela Anthony, we have to be frugal in alot of ways, not just with hard earned $$$ but with our environment. Pamela and I have done a little bartering between our business, and I love that I can get those beautiful hand-did's that I do not have the talent to create!

Look around you, how much do you have that you really don't need or use? What could be put to good use or traded/bartered with someone else? Think how this can save those $$$! I have been looking into some bartering sites and have met a few people who have some neat ideas. I will be meeting with one of them in Lexington this week. So there will be more to come on this topic. And, yes I am definitely considering bartering thru my shop!

Enjoyed our visit, please let me know what you think!

More To Come... Stay Tuned...

Valentine Goodies Coming Soon...

Please, take the time to stop in & visit with me, let's Chat over some Hot Tea & Sconces.

Weekend Blessings, Cathy
