Happy Thanksgiving!

The family is all set for Thanksgiving! Mollie tells her daughter Gwen how proud she is for doing such a good job helping Mom make dinner.

The mixer is currently available at World Market/Cost Plus. I'm afraid it may be a bit too big.

ETA:  I went to Target yesterday (don't worry, it was well after all the frenzied Black Friday shopping.) And what did I happen to see, but this:
It's even the same color! As Rachael said, that color is very fashionable right now. This was the biggest version. As you can see, there was a smaller version next to it, and then there was a still smaller version past that. I also took a picture with my hand in it, to get an idea of scale. Since I'm so short, and that shelf was high, this was the closest I could get to the mixer. :)
So I guess my mixer really isn't too large after all! Thanks to all of you who gave me encouragement about it.

    What a cute photo. Is that a Fern doll from Charlotte's Web? Happy Thanksgiving to you as well! :)

      Thank you! Yes, that is Fern. She came with a little stuffed pig. :) My Stacie dolls really need more clothes.

    That's adorable. The mixer is a great size. In real life they're HUGE anyway. (I'm sure you can get small ones but all the one's I've seen are huge.) And it's a very fashionable colour.

      Thanks! Yeah, mixers are really big nowadays. I keep comparing it in my mind to the mixer that we inherited from my grandmother-in-law, but that one dates back to the seventies, maybe the sixties. I was very excited to see this mini mixer in the store.

    That's cute and the mixer is a good size for a stand mixer. The turkey, on the other hand, is a chicken (but looks yummy).

      Yeah, the bird is small, but not everybody likes turkey at Thanksgiving. I don't like turkey very much, although this year, my brother-in-law cooked a turducken (a chicken inside a duck inside a turkey.) The duck was pretty good.

    Good grief! Dolly and Tammy World have been cloned! I wouldn't worry about the mixer. Some of those old ones were pretty big. I have my mom's,which is from the 50's at the latest,and it's big.

      I realized that when I selected these two dolls! :) I need to make modern day clothes for my other Stacie sized dolls so they can be in photos too.

      I saw a super big mixer when I was in Target today. I'm going to put up a couple of pictures of it tomorrow.

      Thank you! I've picked up that food from several talented artisans over the years. The mashed potatoes arrived from Italy just in time this year!

      Thank you! Blogging wouldn't be so much fun if people didn't comment, so I am thankful for everyone who comments as well. :)
