After a Christmas tree, very few things say "Christmas," like a fireplace. Madame Alexander agrees, as a fireplace was front and center in the
Santa Baby Set for the 16" Alex doll. This Christmas, I made it a priority to find a light bulb for the Sindy fireplace I bought from ebay several years ago. I didn't get stockings or lights on the fireplace, but there is a nice array of Christmas cards on the mantel. Please excuse the dimness of the picture; I wanted to show off the cozy glow of the fireplace to its best effect.
I want to paint the fireplace white; the years have left this piece rather yellowed.
Did any of you get any doll goodies for Christmas? I got a J-Doll. I think next I am going to post, however, on how I picked up the light bulb. It's a fun little story, and it will feature some photos of the little shopping area in Olmsted Falls that I
promised to post about a long time ago.
The fireplace is awesome, it gives a very realistic glow! The little cards are lovely. Barbie's clothes are perfect for the photograph :-)! I got a little robot (the miniature of Nao of which I posted about a while ago), and I bought myself an awesome present too: a new Tonner Miss America! After reading your Miss America post, I tried a search again on EBay and there she was (the only one for sale)! She's on her way now :-). I wish you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas, and a happy New Year full of joy and happiness.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Night Owl! I hope you put up pictures of both of your Miss Americas when your new one arrives.
DeleteI like that Sindy fireplace. I did not know they sold them in the U.S. Congrats on finding one. Yellowed, it has an antique look. The Christmas cards and the Victorian Barbie add a nice holiday note. I can hear "Good King Wenceslas" and smell gingerbread. Hmmm ...
ReplyDeleteNo doll gifts yet. Been a rough year. But I look forward to reading your posts about the fireplace light bulb and your new J-doll.
Hope your Christmas was merry and that your new year is happy!
D7ana, it's possible I got that fireplace from a ebay seller in the UK. It's been so long since I bought it, that I've forgotten. I'm glad you like my diorama.
DeleteI hope 2015 is a much better year for you.
That's a fabulous fireplace! Love the glowing embers feature.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great Christmas! :)
My Christmas was very nice. Hope yours was too.
DeleteI'm glad you like the fireplace. Sindy stuff rocks.
Somehow I missed this post! The bulb is great and the doll is beautiful! Which j-doll did you get? I got 3 myself :)
ReplyDeleteI got J-Doll Aiguo East Road. Hoping to get pictures of her today...
DeleteHow lovely! Especially if you got her with the outfit and everything.
DeleteI love the fireplace! The cards give it a nice touch.
