Reddiker Woodes

The Flower Crowning Chair

After years of wanting this chair it's finally home. I'm super excited about this chair. Most SD size furniture isn't that great, and if it is, you usually have to pay a little higher for it, well, it's worth it. You diffidently get what you pay for. I'm glad that I bought this now because I have the feeling you wont be able to get it soon, but that's just my feeling. 

The Volks Flower Crowning Chair is the epitome of elegance. Colors of gold and cream have really made an impact on the room that it'll be in.  I'm actually changing out some of the rooms in the Doll House and this chair had to be a part of the makeover. I'm going to be taking actual profile pictures of ALL of the dolls in the coming weeks for a book and this chair I think will make a great background for the photos.

Prince Morant Markoff Valentine (SD 60cm) shows just how comfortable it is.

JoAnna looks so tiny sitting here.

Along with Wysp.

M.E.O.W. and Minnie Paws approve.

 

Of course Cheshire need to scratch it.  Mad Hatter, Johnny is upset.

 

 

Everyone from the Pub wanted to try it out.

Happiness is a New Vacuum Cleaner

No matter how big or how small, new appliances are the best. And if you can get it in Rement size, it's even better.  The much coveted Rement Vacuum Cleaner that is Rement has finally made itself to Reddiker Woodes and I'm so happy. It's so cute, I would even clean the houses.

 

 

 

 

Potions and Brews

Are a mixing.  I've had, or the Poe Sisters have had some time to get the shop ready for visitors and started to place the labels on all of the bottles.  Next all they need to do is fill them.  It will be interesting to see what they fill everything with and the bigger question, where did they find everything????

Poe Sisters had some Visitors

So the other week we had "movie night" and Shlee's Blaire hooked up forces with my Poe Sisters.  They caused all kinds of destruction on the kitchen table.  I think the girls want to use Blaire in some experiments.

Edith says this is my Chair.

Serenity says hello to Will the Wombat, and the rest of the tinies gang up.

 Agnes wonders who would be better for experiments, Blaire, or Will????

 

AGNES: Edith, we must discuss this further.  What if we turn him into a giant bear.

AGNES: Blaire, how did you get up here?

 

EDITH: Oh, god, she's never going to leave us alone, is she? Maybe working with Will would be better.

  

Then just silliness started with a bear in a bag.

Edith and Agnes just crack me up.

 

Our good friend, Shadowowl is making some awesome steampunk goggles for one of Wendifreds  little ones, and they are just darling.  Everyone wants a pair now.   

 

   

Circus Evil, Freak Show/Carnival Good

A couple of weeks ago I had posted about this great Circus theme theater from Restoration Hardware. Well it came by way of UPS, and it's so cute.  The puppets that were included in it are going to Little Man, he's been playing with the lion, but the tent part is mine.  Even the box that it came in is fantastic.  I'm not quite sure where it's going to be used as of yet, but I'm happy I got it.  

I'm not a circus fan at all, (hate clowns because they are just evil) but I don't mind Freak Shows and Carnivals, and yes there is a difference between the three.  In my world there are no clowns, but jesters instead, and everyone has a unique talent that they can show off or offer. Not just go parading around with white makeup and a red nose and a colored afro that you'll have nightmares about forever. LOL

     

 

 
 
 

Invasion of the Mechtorians

I love getting instant updates from the doll companies and not all actually send out dolls.  Some send out great toys, clothes, purses that can actually be used by humans, and vinyl goodies.  A few weeks ago the great company in Canada, FeatherFall sent me a notice that some vinyl Steampunk toys were coming out and they are series one, which means there hopefully should be more.  I've just got a quick shot of them, and they are still in the box.  I think they will look great in backgrounds and on the bookcases.

They are made by Doktor A, hand painted and about four inches tall.  I'm intrigued to see what the second series is going to be.

 

 
 

Wysp's House Bed

So, while surfing on Etsy, which I love and need to do at night, I found the cutest little BOS pages for my books, (post later) but also from the same lovely lady came this cute bed, and I knew it just had to be for Wysp.  Now she can go anywhere in the house and I don't have to take her main bed down.  I've even gone back to my 20xZoom camera and have been getting some fantastic shots.

Wysp showing off yet another gift of hers.

 

I think she's pleased and she will stop hiding my sunglasses now.

 

Perfectly nice and soft for her.  She better get some use out of it now, because in about a week or so, she's going to the spa.

 

She even has her own personal stash of Fairy Dust always by her side.

 

I've been liking her in her sleep face more and more.  She just looks like she's up to no good, all the time now.

Hanging out on the bookcase getting ready for some light reading.

    
 
  
 
 
 
 

We're An American Girl

YAHOO, A day better than Christmas could only be, an American Girl store in my town and yes, we have one now.  Park Meadows mall just opened up a store that not centered around clothing, at least not for most people.  The big opening is this morning, but while we were at the mall getting a new keyboard for my MacBook, we took the stroll to the Vistas and couldn't stop giggling.  Well, I couldn't stop giggling.  I'm not much of a fan of the dolls themselves, although I've always had a soft spot for Samantha, but all of the accessories are what I'm after, and now, I don't have to pay shipping and handling.

Pretty much all of there items for their 18 inch dolls, fit our SD's and some MSD's Ball Jointed Dolls and for us here it's heaven. I got a chance to tour the store in Chicago and just fell even more in love.  The only drawback to our store is that they don't have the Tea Shop.  They have room, so hopefully if enough people ask about it, they might put one in.  It's just a matter of time before our group invades the mall, and oh, what fun that will be.  Especially where the store sits, it's outside the mall, in the court yard, and in front mini water falls, and great landscaping. 

My haul from the other day.

     
I love the little craft books they have, they really come in handy for the SD's size. 

 

Lanies Accessories (1 computer, 1 bag, 3 clings, 1 bunny, 1 letter, 2 postcards & 1 bracelet)

Sweet Treats (2 placemats, 1 root beer, 1 order pad, 1 lemonade, 1 napkin holder, 4 napkins, 2 spoons, 1 banana split, and 1 sundae)

 

    
 
 

 
 

Two Bears Walk into A Bar...

I love Etsy, and I loathe Etsy.  I think I'm there more than evilBay anymore, and at one time that use to be a good thing.  There has been an artist on Etsy that I've followed for a while now, and either she didn't have stock, or I didn't have the funds. Well, this past month, both happened at the same time and I was finally able to get her adorable little bears.  These are from Knitting Dreams and are the cutest little bears ever. Handmade Amigurumi's are all the rage, and have taken over the net.  They can range from as small as an inch to 12 inches of some that I've seen.  My two are Lea and Minu

The cutest packaging ever.  I'm not sure exactly who in the house will get one, but I think I'm keeping one just on the nightstand.  So cute.

 

The purple one is Lea, the brown one Minu.  They are about 3.5 inches tall, very soft fabric and acrylic yarn.

A Barbie Day In Wonderland

My love of props is seriously going to make me nuts.  I've only been waiting for this couch for months, and it's finally here. The Jonathan Adler Barbie couch.  So nice.  I originally got it for JoAnna, but I think I'm going to keep it on my nightstand and that way several of them can sit there at night.  If I put it in her room, I'd have to totally redo it, and I like JoAnna's room how it is.  This will be good for other places in the house.

    
 
The Barbie collection of Alice In Wonderland has started to ship, and my very own Mad Hatter is home. He's basically here waiting to be undressed for whenever Planet Doll decides to make their Mini boy.  This outfit will be the perfect carnival outfit for him.  I love the red hair also.  I was able to see Alice in Wonderland on Saturday, and oh my god, best movie ever.
