One of my favorite bloggers, Lori is hosting "Doll Day" and I just had to play along, even though I didn’t really think of myself as a doll person.
Of course, there is always, Sugarwings, she is my doll baby!
This new one that I have plans to doodad up is an obvious choice to photograph, she is quite the doll.
Then, I thought, well, thats all to that story.
While I was cooking lunch (crusty baked chicken strips), Sugarwings opened the china cabinet and reminded me about all of the dollies in there, she loves to take sneaky and grabby peeks at them any chance she gets.
I took pictures of a few of these guys, but thought, no these aren’t dolls, they are figurines. No matter how much the fairy grand baby and I enjoy playing with them. 
Since they are right on her level and she can open doors, many of these little fairy and pixie creatures are down to only one wing, or have chipped toes.
But since everything I own is from garage sales or auctions and much of it chipped already, that doesn’t bother me too much.
And I broke this one all by myself with no help from Sugarwings at all.
I can glue her head back on and make a necklace to cover the seam.
Or leave her as she is and make a box with her and call it "Marie Antoinette AFTER the Guillotine"?
That sparked my memory and I realized I have HEADS! Doll heads! These are from a junking trip with my sisses in Greenwood, Indiana last summer. I bought a boxful of these old pieces ($24) to fix up and sell, but kept them as they were and set them in my bathroom cabinet.
And this elegantly coiffed head is from my shopping trip last weekend, she was only $1. I don’t think she is old.
This doll head (wearing my fairy grandmother tiara) is from a junking stop on the drive to Silverbella last November. Beth and I ran into Carol there and the 3 of us shopped together.
Sugarwings also reminded me that she had a few dolls up in her room. I like to buy old bears and dolls for her at garage sales so we can tuck them in to the cradles and doll beds I fixed up for her.
I found this cradle for $2, cleaned it up and painted it with roses. 
Do my fairy ballerinas count too? No, I guess they aren’t technically dolls, they are meant to go onto cupcakes.
This one is on clearance in my Etsy shop right now.
Here is a selection of some of the things I marked down. If you go to the shop, and look over on the right hand side near the top, where it says "sections" you can click on "clearance sale priced" and see the 28 things that are on sale right now. I was in a mood to clear some things out.
Because I always need to make room for more!
I bought these beveled glass panels at an antique mall this weekend, and got 6 of them for a dollar.
I am making collages in them and adding copper to the back and hope to get my soldering iron out this week to finish them and put hooks onto them.
I also went to an auction with Beth this weekend and bought way too many plates! But I love plates with the double handles and plan to loop some ribbon through those handles and hang the whole stack of plates along the soffet in my studio.
Beth gave the silver ladle to me, it was in a box of stuff she got and wasn’t something she wanted (plus she is good about sharing, very good!)
I might use it as a glitter dipper. And I have a feeling the lidded candy dishes will be filled with buttons soon.
One more doll before I go get Sugarwings up from her nap.
This guy pretends to be the biggest, roughest, meanest barn cat you’ve ever met. He breezes in every couple weeks from wherever he prowls when he isn’t around here and acts like we owe him big time for showing up.
But honestly, he is nothing but a fluffy old doll baby himself.
Oh, and PS-
JAYHAWKS ARE NUMBER ONE IN THE NATION! Yay Lawrence!
You cannot possibly be a Jayhawks fan or I wouldn’t love you so much.
How have you been??? I have been so busy that I haven’t been visiting lately. I hope you are doing well. I love the photos of Sugarwings, which by the way, I love that name!
I can’t keep up! I’m working on millinery flowers. Didn’t realize I had as many as I do. Then you posted dolls and I’m taking a quick look around the studio and by goodness I have quite a few of those too. You’re keeping me on my toes. And congrats on your Jayhawks!
Great dolls, but the cutest doll of all was Miss Sugarwings!

Such a lovely collection of dolls, and your little grand daughter…she looks like she loves your dolls too. Karen
Awwwww, Miss Sugarwings is too precious for words!!!
Your dolls are all gorgeous!!! I love those all white doll heads! I think it’s beautiful how you have them all grouped together like that!!
Karla, I love all the dolly figurines and doll parts. And of course little sugarwings.
What is the called called?
Karen
Karla, this is a lovely post. Gorgeous little Sugarwings, such a sweetie & I believe that all your little people should qualify as dolls. And the plates are just gorgeous, how could you resist them.
Coll :-}
love all the goodies here. Very sweet that your daughter wanted to share too !!! My daughters dolls are on my blog now. Thanks so much for sharing. Miac
I did snort with laughter about Marie Antoinette! The cat does look mean:) That child is getting prettier by the day. She is a lucky little girl to have such a magical grandmother:) Rachael
of course Sugarwings is the fairest of them all, everybody has said that already, but I bet you cannot hear that enough! I like the picture of her bending in concentration to look in your cupboard of treasures very much. I was a child that played with my mum’s figurines too, I wasn’t allowed, but I couldn’t help myself. I still have a little stoneware dog with only one ear and a glued together Hummel figurine, both bring back so many happy memories, they are worth more to me than they would if they were in a perfect state. So save every figurine broken or chipped!
You have acquired so many treasures again!
That beveled glass is great!!!! And what is going under them…
Love the plates in the soffet idea and can’t wait to see that. A ladle full of glitter?? What are you dumping it on?! Haha.
Sugar Wings is so blessed to have a Grandma like you! 🙂
Sugarwings is definitely the cutest doll I have seen in the whole challenge! I LOVE your doll heads!!! I love the porcelain kind with black hair. I call them fancy ladies, lol!
I am going to have to go check out your shop!
Hugs,
Amy
Yes all of your dolls qualify! Sugarwings is the cutest doll of all! I don’t think you can have “too many plates”! I also love the double handled “cake” plates and have them above the door in my living room and over the living room window. What a wonderful idea to put ribbon through the handles! And definitely WAY TO GO HAWKS!!!
Who needs dolls when you have Sugarwings? I know I will go crazy if I ever have a grand daughter buying dolls and girly things! I love those plates. The blue one on the left is gorgeous. You’ll have to show how you hang them soon.
Karla, I loved your plates, I will be happy with one only.Excelent buy.
I love the Sugarwings photos. Thank goodness she reminded you about all of your dolls!
Karla
Ha! (And I thought you weren’t a fan!!!) Way to go Jayhawks… it was Sugarwings that put them over the edge! I love all the plates! Do you use them? Or just decorate with them? I really need to get out my doll collection. Poor things have been packed away for years.
Karla, Love the plates! Yes I agree about the blue paint, but I don’t want to stress you!!!! Glad you have a real dolly to play dress up with!! Love,Lori
I love all your dolls and Sugarwings is as adorable as ever!!! Great photos and gorgeous collection of vintage goodies!
I am with Sugarwings, I love taking a sneak peek at your darling dollies too! By far the very best of your collection is the little Sugarwings Fairy Doll! She is adorable! Who doesn’t love a life size doll to play with and what can be better than one that can hug you back?
What great dolls! Sugarwings is the best of them all, of course.
Way to go Jayhawks! We were rootin’ all the way here in California!
Michelle
I think that these make a fabulous collection of dolls, but Sugarwings takes the cake! 🙂
