Dollieh Sanctuary

I love their outfits, and that room!

Catshem, the dolls clothes are mostly Barbie & Liv Dolls. There's another one...and I can't even remember now as it was a package of mix 'n match outfits I found in a discount bin!

That room is partly things that I already had. The statue in the corner is what my father-in-law (he died before I ever met him) made a LONG time ago. The furniture is mostly Salvation Army, thrift shops, Goodwill and craft stores. The photography on the walls? Mine. The black and white prints really and truly are real black and white wet prints, straight from my darkroom. ;D I shot those photographs using my antique cameras.

Oh! I forgot. That photo on the hutch is an actual tintype that I found at an antique store in Wisconsin Dells.

Those photos are amazing! I have to remember to scour our local Goodwill store for little things like this.

It's the ONLY way I can afford anything for them. Don't forget the little consignment shops that have knick knacks and bric-a-brac AND your local antique shops and flea markets. I also have a few things of my great-grandmothers that I use, old antique bottles, like a Ball and Claw Bitters bottle (among a set of six). Some friends of mine send me little things now and then that they find for less than $1.00. lol! Um, dollar stores, jewelry stores sometimes have things, craft shops have a lot of things that I want but am still thinking about (like furniture). Doilies make great throws for furniture and rugs. That's rabbit fur on the floor that I got at Hobby Lobby. Erasers for food, little bottles I found at a party shop, wedding sections at craft stores have neat things that can be used.

Uh, yeah, so I kinda obsess about this. Knowing my luck, I won't end up hording cats, but hording dolls and doll props when I get old and have blue hair. *sigh* My boys will toss me in a home if I'm not careful.

I love that coffee table.

Ha ha! Thanks!

I think Celestine's is from a Liv doll, my Walmart has a doll with that shirt on.

Thanks. I know the skirt is Barbie as it has the matching top...but Celestine isn't into strapless. *shrugs* She's not very well endowed. :/
