I love Lucy!


A dear friend and I refer to ourselves as Ethel and Lucy. Imagine my surprise, when a package arrived and a tiny Lucy was in it!
How could I resist setting up this photo shoot? Lucy was made by the same artist who made Marcel Proust. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Lucy!

Lest you think that my life is all dolls and day trips, trust me when I say I say that it is mostly mundane. I like to focus on the more interesting parts here since the world itself supplies us each day with enough grief and angst to ponder.

Today I am anticipating the arrival of a new fridge. Who knew that the "shelf life" of a fridge was only ten years? We are just two people...we didn't abuse it! It looks brand new at twelve but has developed a leak in the defrosting system. It sits in its side-by-side splendor complete with water dispenser awaiting it's trip out of here. Au revoir!

In its place will be a another double door with the freezer in the bottom and NO water dispenser. Needless to say it is like skim milk....you pay MORE for less. (Had to special order it. Almost all bottom freezers have water dispensers.) However, I am secretly gleeful. I am of the generation that feels very grateful when she gets a new appliance.

Think about it...the frozen food and other food will go in the cooler for the "transfer." A path has been cleared for ease of delivery. Nothing is simple any more!

So, what mundane or interesting thing will happen to you today? As always,

enjoy the day!

Monsieur Proust est arrivé!


Before I ever collected dolls,
I collected books.....



And sometimes
I like to collect
a doll that goes with a book!


Sometimes I will
make a doll to
go with books...
like Frida.


There are authors and artists that I collect books about, too. But, if you want to get a doll yourself without making one, you can get one here. You will have a lot of fun looking at Uneek Doll Designs.

On another note, the current heat wave has broken and it is only 60F this morning! We will have a few days of more normal temperatures and I could not be happier!

As always...stay cool...



...enjoy the day
