WEIRD DOLL WEDNESDAY, PART 222

For an early Halloween, here's a creepy clown.

 

For the past couple of months there has been a rash of creepy clown sighting around the USA (no, not Trump (sorry, couldn't help myself)). Reports of clowns tiring to lure children into the woods ( not a plug for the show I've been working on), jumping out and scarring people. I don't get the terror that someone dressed up in a clown costume  causes. Theories, anyone?

Speaking of the woods, I've been working on a awesome costume. I'll be doing a post about that in a week or so. Stay tuned. 

WEIRD DOLL WEDNESDAY, PART 221

Let's go back to Westros and say Hello to everyone's favorite woman warrior..............................................

Brienne of Tarth

WEIRD DOLL WEDNESDAY, PART 220

Let's go to Spain! This lovely Spanish dancing lady was in the last auction lot, same lot as last weeks doll.

 The label says: Graut (maybe) Espana, Sacramento.

She joins the whole family of dancing dolls.

I haven't been able to find anything about the company. I keep getting auto-corrected to "grout". Thanks, a lot.

ANOTHER DAY,  ANOTHER HURRICANE

We're far enough inland not too get much from this one. My friends and family that live in Florida are reporting in via Facebook. So far it seems most are OK.  Haiti is a different matter. That country can't seem to ever get a break. If you're so inclined, there's a link to charities on the CNN website.

On a different note: this plant went crazy with the blooms. 

 This plant has never had so many blooms before. I think it's called a Night Blooming Ceres. I got it as a "pass a long" plant from a woman I worked with.

 

The hurricane isn't over, it's making it's way up the East side of Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. Stay save everyone that lives in the path. And lets hope that it doesn't hook back around.

WEIRD DOLL WEDNESDAY, PART 219

Another auction happened and another lot of dolls were won. 5 tiny dolls for $5.

 Look at the detail on this tiny doll. Beads, trim and lace.

Here she is with the rest of her sisters. Wouldn't you know it, after I took this photo and tidy upped* the cabinet, I found another sister hiding in the back. I was too lazy that day to pull the whole family out and do another photo.  

* "tidy up" is from The Producers. The Swedish secretary cleans up the office by painting everything white. In the costume shop it's a running joke when I tell the students to clean up the shop. They all say "Tidy up!"
