Arthur & the Doll Show Score

  There is Franz! I was so surprised to see him! That's Doll Magic, meant to be. I hope the same happens with Marie, a Monica doll that has surfaced that I've wanted for thirty years. Shop my original DARK SHADOWS art, support my doll habit. Ronnie's suit is soaking in cold water and Woolite. He's a little bigger than Ike, he's Horsman where Ike is Efanbee. I think Efanbees are a bit better quality. There were great deals to be had at this huge show: fabulous! We ate at The Bluebird Inn in Cornwall afterwards, another favorite spot. I had a Buddah bowl to make up for the pizza I shared with Frankie and Arthur for breakfast. I love my Little Dancer paper dolls. I had them when I was three. Sometimes Ron is too good for me. ✨

Christmas at Cornwall Furnace

    It was another fabulous holiday starting at Cornwall Iron Furnace (1742). They have yummy homemade cookies, cocoa, and Christmas tea. Last year it was so warm that we walked about the town, but today was cold; and although Mummy's Ewok coat is warm, the Christmas pants Theresa sent me several years ago aren't. I'm just happy they still fit as I wash everything in hot water and put it in the dryer. I have to fit into my handmade green velvet from the seventies for the Shoenhut gig at The William Penn next week that I've only worn to see Loreena McKennitt, so looks like I'll be fasting this week. Didn't happen today, afterwards we went to The Bluebird Inn (1859). I had a Merry Cranberry house cocktail served in an ornament that was off the hook, and their chili puts Trooper Thorn's to shame: all so good. They crumble cornbread on top. I'm going to have to remember that. I got videos of the fabulous trains, but I'm having technical difficulties uploading them. I'll keep trying. My beautiful Christmas cactus is blooming too. Frankie was a very good boy and napped with me when we got back. 🎄
