She's a hot pink girl

My niece Natalie (11 years old) and my sister Jill (age unmentionable) recently finished creating this bedroom fit for a princess! Which is a good thing, because Natalie is, in fact, a princess :) I love the French flair, the Parisian Market look they created.

1950's Madame Alexander (a.k.a. Bridge is the new Poker!)

My first contact with Madame Alexander's delightful dolls was her collection of Little Women, property of my older sister, which I was not allowed to touch, but of course did! They were beautifully crafted and delightful to the eyes. This bit of original 1957 vintage pictured was one of many ads from a collaborative between Madame Alexander and Yardley perfume, featured in Ladies Home Journal magazines, and is for sale until I come to my senses and keep her for myself!
