Due to technical difficulties, the interview with Mel will be delayed for a few days. We're working on it.

La Boutique and Purse of the Month for June

 Every month the talented sisters Diana and Janet present 1/6 scale handmade handbags that pay homage to designer bags. Along with those tiny treasures, they create fashion ensembles. This month's bags are in the style of Emilio Pucci and there are two "Elite" ensembles to die for!


Bags are, of course, available separately and you can have your choices created for larger dolls as well!

She Sells Sea Shells

I saw this outfit on an Evangeline a few months ago and hunted it down until I found the designer, Connie Lowe of Marbled halls. Luckily for me, she still had a few that she is selling directly at a 50% discount off retail.
I purchased "She Sells Sea Shells" seen on Everlasting Evangeline below and another of her outfits called "By the Sea."  Outfits were $75. each on sale.


 The outfit comes with many pieces including the dress, hat, pantaloons, anchor necklace, stockings and shoes. In addition, a bag of shells, a metal pail and shovel and the black and white umbrella are part of the goodies! I added the red flowered umbrella which is a Madame Alexander Cissette accessory.




 Evangeline is wearing a wig which comes from Timeless Evangeline, the  newer basic vinyl EG.



 This is Connie's own photograph of "By the Sea," the other fashion I purchased.

Connie specializes in OOAK and LE items with an antique-y look. Please visit her website!
