I like the one on the right in the second pic -- in the olive-brown and white lace dress!

I collect dolls, too, especially dolls with costumes from around the world. I have lots of Barbie Dolls of the World and some others.

The dolls are wonderful! I have never collected dolls but have been tempted every time I run across a beautiful porcelain doll dressed in Victorian attire:).

Hi Deanna,
The dolls are lovely. I especially like the angel.
Thanks for your encouraging words on my blog earlier.
The Closer is on TNT on Mondays at 9:00. If you like crime drama's you'll like it. It sometimes has some questionable moments, but nothing usually too earth shattering.

What a beautiful array of dolls! I used to collect them and especially love "Victorian" porcelain dolls in old fashioned clothing. I don't have any daughters (yet!) but I may have to start collecting again. I miss that!

the writer in me feels as if my literary pins have been knocked out from under me. I'm almost speechless.

Your site is so beautiful with so much to see. What an experience.

I used to make little rag dolls with painted faces and had a small business going but couldn't keep it going alone.

I am really a novice at blogging and learning new things every day. No camera yet and only a small apartment with no room for flowers or other plants.

However, I am loving the creativity of so many women out there. Had no idea it was all there just under the surface of every day life

God bless your endeavors

Deanna I love your pretty dolls. I have some too. But when we moved to a smaller house I gave some to my granddaughters.

I loved the one in the purple dress.She is so elegant. You certainly do have many varied collections. All of them are interesting.

I sure enjoy your blog posts my friend.

Twenty years ago I went and made some porcelain dolls and must share photos on my blog one day.

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

BLOSSOM WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED
As long as I live, I will have to continually submit to God's plan for my life. You will be blessed because you turned your life over to God. Be confessing how good God is and tell Him you agree with who He says He is. BELIEVE and watch miracles happen. Be not afraid. ~Deanna

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
