Fabric and Wigs and Laces..Oh My!!

Hi All,

Well it's been over a week since I have posted because, well, I haven't created very much.  But I did want to share with you some goodies I have gotten since we last met.

First, my daughter and I went to the Swap Meet here in Ogden, it's small but sometimes we can still find nice stuff, walk around in the sun and take in the world.  So I bought a nice stack of flannel from Lanz of Salzburg, the company that makes the yummy nightgowns.  I just love the colors and cannot wait to put some of my dolls in their new nightgowns (After I make them, of course).

 My Second purchase is off of Ebay.  I know Ebay has their issues but overall I like buying off them and my daughter and I do sell off them too. Don't worry this is not a buy my stuff blog nor will it turn into one but we do sell under the same name - RecycleBliss. (My shameful plugging for the day)  I bought a group of wigs from "hepme101".  Very nice person and has great prices on wigs.  Here's my BFC ink doll rewigged.

Don't you just love her?  And darn if that isn't a good photo too...

My last purchase showed up yesterday and I bought it off Facebook.  I just discovered that Facebook has a HUGE amount of groups selling stuff.  Go check it out, several fabric groups, crazy quilting supplies, Victoria's Secret stuff, etc.  Now they are not secure like Ebay so you purchase at your own risk, however, if you use PayPal you at least can get your money back if the transaction goes bad.
So here's just a small sampling of the laces I bought.  I went a little crazy with these as you can see from the pictures.  I was just so sick of going to the big fabric stores and seeing the same old stuff.  So I bought these off of Jerry Foster(Fabric Jerry) and can vouch for him as a good seller/person.  Over 110 laces - 3 yards each $100, which included shipping.  Now these are nice laces!  I played with them and organized most, all day yesterday.  So pretty!  They go from 6" down to 1/4".  Here's just an example:
 

 These are all the ones in a big tub and the ones left that I haven't done.  All of them are quality laces.  He also sells them individually by the yard.

 Now, I am not getting a thing for telling you about these sellers.  I just like to pass along good (or bad) experiences with sellers, companies etc.  Knowledge is power!

See you again soon,

Susan

Rapunzel Revisited.....

Hi All,
Well I am learning about all this, blogging, picture taking, etc.  And after I thought about, ok, obsessed about, the pictures from my last post I decided to retake them.  My original decision was that the blue background would bring out the black and white dress and show off Rapunzel's wig.  Instead she had an oily looking face.  So I retook and added a prop for interest.  I didn't think it would make that much difference but wow:

She looks so much better!  I used a different background fabric and grabbed a candle holder that I bought my mom (thanks mom) a few years ago for Mother's Day.

 I also wanted to show you one of my Cinderella's with her eye paint mostly removed.  Boy, was that a job.  It comes off nothing like Barbie's eye paint.  The wig, well, that's not staying on but I just wanted to show you that too, it's for an Asian Disney doll that I have not found yet.  So if anyone want to donate to me a Jasmine, Mulan or Pocahontas I can start right away.  Just imagine the wig with no little white bows and some bling in her hair, a kimono, proper shoe attire, etc...

  

And here's my baby when she wants attention, subtle isn't she?

Thanks for letting me share, see you soon..

Susan
