A Gift

Today when Fina went to the garden she found Elizabeth sitting on the swing.



Fina gave her a gift: a lollipop!

The Mystery Girl

Fina was sitting in her garden swing when she heard a rustle in the bushes.


She jumped up to talk to the little girl that appeared.


Fina had lots of questions! "What's your name? Where do you live? Are you a princess?"
The girl replied, "I am Elizabeth and I live here in the garden. I don't think I'm a princess, but I might be..."


Elizabeth said she was on here way somewhere and had to go, but she promised to return to the garden swing tomorrow. Fina can hardly wait!

Mini Doll Fun

I decided to turn this rather dormant Doll Dance blog into a place to post photos of my mini dolls like Fina and Hitty and Miss Hickory. Here are some recent ones with Fina.

Mini Josefina (now called "Fina")is about 6 inches tall and is a perfect replica of the American Girl doll Josefina which is 18 inches tall. Her body is cloth and her limbs are vinyl. She is jointed at the neck, arms and legs, just like an old fashioned doll. I love her sweet expression.
