....all made up.....

...as promised this is the story of
my smelly filthy dirty dolly wardrobe...
..despite its misgivings..
...squirrel loved it...
...and had plans...
..so first stop was a jolly good bubbly scrub!
...so satisfying to see layers of grime 
just wipe away....
...as it was still a bit musty inside
my new samantha stas lavender bag
found a new home amongst the little pastel dolly hangers...
..in true squirrel style..
 there had to be some ribbon...
...i then had mod podge fun
...covering the shelves with fabric...
(i was very excited by this point)
...then came the really fun bit...
...folding up a little stash of some of my favourite nursery and ditsy fabrics...
...a little pile of vintage quilty scraps..
..and a little tin of doilies 
and embroidered hankies...
..ta daaaaa!
...not perfect..
...but i love it!
....as the front sections don't open out completely it's hard to show you
the full effect....
...you'll have to come round ...
...oh and bring your dollies!

and treated myself to this lavender bag
 and little button card dollies....
..as if that wasn't exciting enough...
i won the giveaway at
