This is Mz. Gorgeous, a really cool paper doll made for me by my friend, Olivia Thomas! She is 18" tall . . . and looks very nice on my little cupboard.

Here are Pixie Fairy, made by Lucy Lee, and Linda Dee's Raucous Boy, my other two awesome paper dolls . . . all three of them are jointed so their arms and legs move . . . sounds like some fun play time to me! Just wanted to share some of my artist friend's inspiring work! I named all three of them . . . I hope Linda, Lucy and Olivia will enjoy and approve of their names - LOL! Don't you just love them?

My husband, Bob, had an emergency appendectomy last Thursday night. I just brought him home today . . . it was a whirlwind three days of ER & hospital fun . . . He is up for a movie this afternoon for a first outing - so we are off to see Waitress - a nice way to spend a hot afternoon in Scottsdale, AZ. We were supposed to go on a trail ride (riding Bob's horses) on Monday with some of his horse buddies . . . the first time in hmmmm about 28 years for me to ride a horse . . . surprising at what lengths Bob would go to in order to keep me off one of his horses!

Myrtle, a new doll for the Country Loft in August, will get her photo taken to post this afternoon or tomorrow before she leaves the nest.
