Ok girls, if you didn’t see this yet you need to watch it!!!

I think this is the coolest advertisement campaign I saw in a long time and by the way…I would love to have the marionettes!!!

If you want to know more about it read here

ohhhh….I want to watch this.This year really looks like a great one for animated movies:

Ponyo!!!

found via janstephens blog.

And also Planet 51. But I think I will wait for the DVDs

I didn’t post for a long time but…I’m always so tired in the evening. I think it is because of this very unstable (generally bad) weather we are having here.

Anyway last weekend we went to two flea-markets. I didn’t find amazing stuff (and on Sunday I didn’t find any doll at all) but I picked few things anyway on Saturday.

I got the pregnant Midge I wanted for a while (I should have bought her when she was in the stores!!!). She needs to be cleaned and groomed up but for 3 euros she’s fine:

an unknown doll by Giochi Preziosi (a very good Italian toys manufacturer) for 1 euro:

I like her dress and her face.

Always for 1 euro each I got this sweet-looking Skipper and a Monchhichi (I’m becoming addicted to them):

I also picked up a repro Barbie and My Scene Vespa (the mirrors are missing) for few euros:

And then again some small things like a black Kelly, a Barbie Baby and some pairs of shoes:

Last but not least…miniatures!!!

They are a bit “biggish” but I love the cup (it is real glass) and the geisha doll under the glass dome. I put them beside Momoko for size comparison:

That’s all for this round of fleamarkets

I like my Pure Neemo very much but I hardly use her since, let’s face it,she’s even less posable than a Barbie. Even displaying clothes on her is not easy.
But today I got totally inspired by some pictures of Else82′ ( a Flickr contact of Amithi) and I got her a new body!!!

Unfortunately it is too late to take pictures, but here is just one:

What do you think?

Yesterday we were planning to take some pictures outdoor with my-sister-in law but unfortunately the weather was dreadful. It rained cats and dogs

To cheer me up I took today some pictures of the dolls clothes I got from my-sister-in law for the girls. As usually Momoko and Arianna managed to grab the clothes, They are really greedy.

Here they improvised a small fashion-show

A nice summery crocheted outfit. I got it also in another color variation, very nice

A romantic white dress for Arianna:

and a full set of mix-and-match clothes (1 on the dummy is from the Xmas gift). I love the combination of brown and pink and so did the girls:-)

We had quite lot of fun all of us 3 taking the pictures

I’m always on the hunt for good (possibly free) photo editors and I just found PhotoScape!!! I had to say it really looks great. It comes equipped with lots of filters and batch editing. The interface is really nice and it is very intuitive to use. I just started exploring it but here are some of my experiments:

and many more.

I had birthday while I was in Italy so last weekend, with my great pleasure, I got some “late” birthday gifts from my sister -in-law. They were one nicer than the other.

First all I got a beautiful OOAK doll I admired at a Barbie fair last November. Yes, you understood well, she bought my gift already last November, I would never manage to hold on a gift for so long.

Look at her! :

Is she not a beauty?

check my flickr photostream in a short while for more pictures from the roaring twenties. You will see she got a friend

I also received from my sister-in-law a cute Wall.E and two crocheted barbie outfits but I plan to take pictures outdoor, hopefully the upcoming weekend, so you will have to wait

We are trying to tidy up once more in the next weeks the “chaos room”. It is really getting out of control so some stuff has to go. I put again few things on ebay. Here are my auctions, have a look if you have time

I bet they could be beautiful props for dolls. Bathroom, kitchen, living-room and garden! Have a look at them on the Konica Minolta site. They look so…Kawai!!! Found via paperkraft.
