My father brought my daughter a bag of old dolls that he found abandoned in an old 1800's house in TN. He thought that she could make something with them or practice sewing by making them doll clothes. Some of them were in pretty rough shape. So, my sister - who was in town visiting me- and I decided that all of us would breath new life into them by painting them and upcycling them. We had quite a lot of fun! My daughter is working on a purple metallic one, I have finished one ( below ) and have one in the works, and my sister has almost two completed.

Upcycled Discarded Baby Dolls

Bees Nest Wire Wrapped Earrings
Cute little baby bees are buzzing near their nest. Wire wrapped silver balls of metal with brass bees dangling underneath. Simple but nice. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23237563

Special Things made by Special People
I created this treasury from things that I just love on Etsy. I LOVE Happy Betsy's " I Can't Stop Listening to Butt Rock." Very talented. And, Candice from 3penniesfromheaven is very talented with her Peter No Tail.
Where Pink and Gray Meet Etsy Treasury
This treasury was created by Art Bags by Ayala Levinger
on Etsy and is dedicated to her friend, Sandra who is suffering from breast cancer.
She included my "Through my Brokenness I am Healed" necklace. I think that this is a very beautiful treasury and my heart goes out for Sandra.

My Rosie O'Donnell Munny's
The baby is checking out the new kids on the block. Let me first say that I just love Rosie's Etsy Shop! I love the way that she photographs her pieces, the way that her children are involved, and the fact that all profits are donated to Rosie's Broadway Kids. I really love her paintings and postcards because her personal life is integrated into them. Rosie O'Donnell wanted to trade one of her Munny dolls for one of my trinket guys ( as she calls them). So, I sent her two.
The Franco American Trinket Guy & Mama's Little Helper Trinket Guy
This is a snippet of our convo. Her response was fabulous! I know that she is doing a million things so I said no problem. Soon after the second Munny arrived. Nicely signed. She also sent little gifts and postcards of artworks that she has in galleries. Thanks Rosie~ You are the best

Rosie and I traded. I sent her two and she sent me two. I will photograph them and post later. I LOVE Rosie! She is a sweetheart. http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list.php?room_id=49658ou
