Then, on the day Mary and I were shopping at the antique mall (on her way to the airport)...
I found the PERFECT LITTLE TRAIN CASE -- to house Lillian's new doll baby wardrobe...Because I have made dresses, and pants, and skirts, and tops, and ponchos...well, you can imagine, eh?
In a fit of CREATIVE THINKING -- I gave the train case to my cousin Linda so she could paint Lillian's name on it. Here's a picture of Linda with Mary, during our Tuesday breakfast. I also gave her Lilly's nightgown -- thinking it would provide some inspiration for the trim, etc.
OH MY GOD...you cannot believe what she did to the little traincase. She did a FABULOUS JOB...it is SOOO PERFECT...I just know Lillian is going to LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT...
Oh, yeah -- this is going to be a WONDERFUL GIFT for Lillian's third Christmas. The baby doll, the doll clothes, the doll bed, and now this fabulous little train case. AND she's also getting a nightgown just like her Mom's!!
I LOVE CHRISTMAS...
I have a train case EXACTLY like that before it was glammed up for Lillian. It holds my Barbie Doll clothes!!! OH MY GOSH!!
ReplyDeleteI have a very similar train case. While thinking about it, it occurred to me that there may be a whole new generation who does not know the term "train case." It's what we took our PE clothes to school in, in the 60's, in Iowa, anyway!!
