When I found these teeny little ballerinas, I was just charmed by them. At barely an inch, they are just as dainty and sweet as can be. I didn't get many of them, just a few to add to the shop along with some of their big sisses, and a few for me to use too.
It was a girly day for the Boutique. I added fairies, ballerinas, Charlottes and Alices.
Don't you just love the badly painted faces of the OLD cake topper ballerinas? So ugly they are cute.
This shipment of Charlottes is of all eensy weensy little girls. Each is every bit as dainty as that tiny ballerina, at about 1 inch long.
I scrubbed at a couple to see if the dirt comes off, and most of it will. But I am leaving it on, in case the new owner likes "patina" as much as I do.
They are just so tiny and sweet.
Kind of like these two, the sweetest little dancers ever.
We had a little tea party so Pixie Pie and Sugarwings could open the gifts that were sent to them by Debra Ganas. They loved them!! Thanks, Debra!!
Sugarwings loves her cuddly dog. But I made a mistake in my Swap Book notes and only wrote down that there was a gift for Sugarwings next to the giver's name, not what it was, because it wasn't open at the time. So, I won't know what is from who!
How rude of me. I'm sorry.
She has a couple more to open, and tomorrow is my Sugarwings Day, so she and I will spend some time enjoying the thoughtfulness of the givers.
You know that feeling after a holiday, or big event when all of a sudden, its over and you wonder what you are going to do with your time? That is kind of how I am feeling right now, I miss the Alice Tag Book Swap!
So, today I made up a book of my own tags, plus a few kits if anyone would like to make a book.
Oh you are so creative. Wished I lived closer to you…grrr…I would love to hang around your studio and craft with you…anyway my mom had those ballarinas for our cakes growing up..I might have one of them somewhere. Sugarwings is sooo darling. I think I might also have one of those frozen charlets of my moms…she kept lots from her childhood stuff.Just finding the time to do some of ideas I get blogging. Sally
So happy Sugarwings and Pixie Pie liked the books. I knew they were perfect for them.
I have looked at my Alice book everyday. I love it. Anyway that you could post links to the swap participants? Or maybe suggest they add pics of the books they received to that “Flicker” page. Would love to see more of the individual books.
Thank you again for hosting. You are the best.
Hi sweet Karla!!! You are so sweet…I wish so much that I were able to sit with you and your friends and create away!!! The tiny ballerinas are so precious and remind me of my childhood and tiny little jewelry boxes! I love too that you always include your angel granddaughter, I can’t believe how fast she is growing!!! I hope you are feeling better sweetie, hugs and love, Dawn

I DO love those little dancers with their poorly painted faces! So neat!
Hi, I saw the cute Alice tags at OC cottage. Thought I’d enter your giveaway as I would love to win. Hope you are feeling much better. Would you post pictures of your trail when things green up. It looks magical to me! Thanks for sharing. ♥♪
My oh my how that Sugarwings is such a beautiful girl… just prettier and prettier the older she becomes! Thank you for commenting on my blog today, Karla! ONE of these days I will join in your tag book swaps… now that all my kids are in school fulltime, I’m trying to be creative every day, and I think I’m finally getting in a routine (sort of)! 😉
Glad you’re feeling better Karla! And yes, those are 2 of the sweetest dancers I ever saw!
Yes, I do know that let down feeling – I am sure you will jump into a new project as soon as you are up to speed. I got my post up on my tags today. I am still just in awe of the artistry of each one. I am looking for a clever way to display them so I can enjoy them.
Karla,
Since i am not as crafty as all the gals who made a Alice tag’s, what would you charge to make one for me to buy.
I see the kits are sold out, but any theme would work for me. What talent you have. And your home is so pretty decorate and all.
Thanks,
Karla, I hope you are feeling better now! I sent you an e-card a few days ago but I don’t think you got it because it usually tells me when someone picks it up… anyway… just wanted to stop by and say hi. I LOVE LOVE all the alice tag books! what a great swap.
Sugarwings is adorable!
xoxo
Hi Karla….glad to hear you are doing much better – pace yourself! And, those ballerinas are so cute – all glittery and “fairy” winged!
Have a great spring day
Rochelle
So glad to have gotten a sweet ballerina set – made for a fun morning of shopping for me. Glad you’re feeling better. Can the pics of your little sugarwings be any cuter? I think not 🙂
Karla, I hope all this creativity means you are feeling better again! What a grand swap your Alice tags were — how funny to have withdrawal symptoms! 🙂
I like the gunk on the Charlottes — they’re more authentic!
