Au Revoir Grace


Hard to believe a year has passed and Grace is on her way out.
We prefer to say au revoir {to the seeing again} rather than goodbye!
Grace has been so much fun!
I've mentioned before that we added her to our collection 
because of the french-speaking doll lovers in our family.

We've had fun collecting some of her items and playing with her a lot.


These little macaroons are made by the talented Pippaloo for Dolls Etsy shoppe.
They are the perfect send-off treat.


Here are a few photos of the Grace-inspired crafting we've done in 2015.
Enjoy!


Little Miss A takes a baking/cooking class once a week. One of her first classes in 2014 was learning how to make a peach galette. We asked Pippaloo if she could create a doll-size galette for us {seen above}. We also purchased the macaroons - seen above - from her Etsy shoppe. Both fun additions to Grace's baking. We created our own little version of The Little Prince. We decorated a loft bedroom with Eiffel Tower trinkets and a photo of Grace. April 1st is called Poisson d'Avril in France -- it involves chocolate fishes and taping little paper fishes onto backs and running away.  We recreated the holiday with our dolls. We've had a great year creating and collecting with Grace! Au Revoir!

Doll Advent -- Day 2


Day 2 -- Popsicles

It is a little too cold outside to enjoy these at the moment,
but when summer rolls around, the dolls will be happy, happy, happy!
Pippaloo created these adorable popsicles earlier this year, 
and I was lucky enough to get some in November. 
{Tucking them away and waiting until now to bring them out was a test of my willpower!}
So fun!

Doll Advent -- Day 1



Day 1 - Doll-size Chowder

Last year we added these to our doll collection.
They remind us of the ginger cookies that our G'pa makes each holiday season.
In addition to ginger cookies, G'pa makes the best clam chowder that we eat on Christmas Eve.
Pippaloo created these perfect chowders for us.
Now our dolls can celebrate our Christmas traditions too!
These will be perfect for our dolls to celebrate Christmas Eve,
and they'll be a perfect addition to our 50s diner!


Join us tomorrow for Day 2!
