Read MoreCrossPost: Hats!
So I got to chatting with Heather the last day or so, a blogger who runs The Majokko Shop about some super cute knitted hats for dolls. She was an entrant in the scarf giveaway and sent me an adorable pic of her Pure Neemo doll with her scarf.

You can check out all the entries HERE, but I’m posting my personal favorites here. I’ll post winners when they are announced!

Based on the game HITMAN (I think honestly I’m partial to this one because I had dated a pretty hot guy in my 20′s who wore this as a...
Read MoreMarch Purse of the Month
Yay! I skipped out on last month’s purse because I only liked the red one and I have my red bow bag by them already, but this month’s purse is a must have for me! At least in reptile it is, LOL. Our designer for March is Ralph Lauren. I love how he continues to re-invent his most famous purse – the Ricky bag. When I saw that he had condensed it and added chain handles, I marveled at the great new look that still harks to the original. I’ve recreated this bag in miniature in 2 options – Reptile print leather on black suede, and Pewter leather on pale grey. Both are lovely, and each features the classic Ricky bag detailing, with oodles of silver accents. 32.00 each + shipping. (3.50 in...
