Dollie Love

Rhiannon, my little girl blue, got herself a new winter look:

Plus, some lovely clothes from wonderful Dollheart arrived today...

And these (tiny!) shoes, so nicely done... I'm in love. And some cute packing tape I got from Ebay...

I love to receive little things in the mail. :)
One month to Christmas Eve. YAY!

That reminded me of this time of the year when I was in Brasil. It is always burning hot in Rio by november, so Christmas has a complete different feeling. It usually rains on christmas night (as a kid I used to say it was our "liquid snow"), sometimes the neighbours - who never took notice of you during the year - would come to your house to wish you a happy christmas - and obviously steal a bit of your supper. :) That's the hypocrite brazilian friendliness.

I *loved* to go to Rua da Alfândega (see little pic below) to do the Christmas shopping. The malls were always crowded and utterly expensive, while Rua da Alfândega had that thriftshop feeling that I loved. And the best prices ever!

I miss being at home for Christmas, but I'm happy for the opportunity that I'm having to spend the Xmas day with someone I love and who loves me, in a country that I dearly adored as a kid and hopefully, with some snow! :)

Last thing, Blythe family pic so far! (still waiting for my Kozy and Rouge Noir)
