Time for the patriotic parade to begin. First we have the majorette leading the parade.
I hear the drumming of the band.
And the toot of a horn.
I see girls in costumes marching in unison.
Marchers waving flags.
Firecrackers go BANG, BANG, BANG!
Lots of sparkle and red, white and blue!
Kites were flying high and dotting the sky.
Who doesn't love an old fashioned parade?
Marching toward Etsy. Parade time...Wednesday, June 5th, 5:30 p.m. (pacific time). More patriotic surprises in store as well! Love the red, white and blue!
Once again sheer genius. I love how you breathe life into the older dolls. Everything looks great.

That was a lovely parade! I'm sure they won't last long in your shop.

I think one of those dolls might need to visit my patriotic dollhouses. They are darling! Lots of great eye candy. Can't wait!

Are you EVER bored or depressed? Wish I could borrow your brain for refueling once in a while!

Very cute and Patriotic! Love the Summer time and those little creations make me think of Summer! I remember those little spunheads you found and said you had a project in mind.....It does look like a little flame!
Don't know how those things pop in your head.
I can see the lightbulb over your head of curls. It must go off every time you come across something LOL
Thanks for sharing

Adorable! Just went to write the date they go on sale in my calendar--one question: is it Tuesday the 4th or Wednesday the 5th? Don't want to miss out!!!

Really like patriotic decor-- my bedroom is red, white, and blue. Love the mini newspaper hat! Clever!

Rethinking the fact I don't decorate for every holiday! I adore the dolls, especially those little newspaper hats. (Clever repurposing of that Christmas ornament horn, too!)

Laurie, I don't know how you keep coming up with all these great ideas. What an adventure to wander around inside your head for a while - lol!

OK, those are the cutest things ever!
I've got to put that date on my calendar so I can share some of that adorableness.
