Little Jo's Halloween Doll Party at the Fairy Gardens

Some of the cousin dolls and a few of their friends were dressing up to go to visit the Fairy Gardens and to go Trick or Treating so they could see the ghosts, witches and scare crows that have been hanging out in the fairy garden lately.

James did not dress up.  He said that he wasn't a baby anymore but he would go to help make sure his sisters and his cousins were safe from the ghosts and the witches and the dragon that hangs out there most of the time.
He agreed to put a hat on and pretend to be one of the Little Rascals so he could at least collect a little candy for himself while escorting the others.  It does look like he was having a bit of fun in the picture below.

All of the dolls wanted to see the witches and ghosts up close so they had James push up some of the baskets and tables close to the gardens so that they could stand on them and peek at what was going on. Little Jo is wearing her same costume from last year and Sammy is in her ballet Tutu (her most favorite outfit in the world)

Our new friend JoAnn is dressed as a mermaid  and pretty Alana is dressed as a Greek Goddess.

Maggie has a fall hipster outfit on - it looks so nice with her lovely red hair. Cindy has a pretty pink princess dress and Kathleen has her blue princess dress on.

 See the jack-o-lanterns and the ghosts behind Cindy's head?

 So cute!

Tina is dressed in her mermaid costume.  Grandma added lots of sequins to make it sparkle for Halloween.

Here are some more photos of the group having Halloween fun in the fairy garden.

 

 

 

Happy Halloween to Everybody.  I hope you can get out and Trick or Treat

like you are a kid too.

BOO!!

 

Little Jo and Nora Play In The Fairy Garden

Fall clean up in the Fairy Garden can be quite a chore so I was glad that Little Jo and Nora  (Nora is Little Jo's younger sister) were here to help out.  Before we had worked too long several of the others in our doll family started showing up to pitch in and get the fairies and the fairy houses spiffed up for the rest of the fall season.  There were pumpkins and spiders, and even  a skeleton to gather up after the Halloween festivities in the fairy garden. It is now time to just enjoy a few harvest accents until it is time to decorate the garden for Christmas.  Nora was eager to wear her new Fall outfit that Grandma made this week.  Grandma also made a pretty jacket just like Cindy's only it is a different color.  I promised Nora we would let her model her new outfit first. Pretty Nora and Little Jo look a lot a like.  It is a good thing that Nora likes to keep her hair in braids or I wouldn't hardly be able to tell them apart.

Nora's Fall outfit.........

 Nora wanted feathers with her braids today.

 Grandma made leggings and a tee shirt out of a people size tee shirt that she had bought at Marc's (her favorite close-out store) for just $1.39.   Grandma said she could get one or two more outfits out of that big  tee shirt.

 We found the stick-on felt owls at JoAnn Fabrics.

 Nora's tee shirt was made from a Liberty Jane pattern that was the free download

 last week on Freebie Friday.

  It looks very pretty on Nora and it fits so well.

Becky's outfit today is the leggings from her Halloween costume and the reverse side of 

her purple spider shirt also from her Halloween costume.

Shy little Cindy has been gathering the last of the Halloween decor from the Fairy Garden.

Skeleton's are so creepy - ooh, yuk!

 Tina is wearing Little Jo's hat and jacket.  I think they are a bit too small for her.

Maggie's purple sweater looks so pretty with Maggie's red hair.  Maggie's outfit was bought off of Ebay by Grandma.  Grandma says she will make her own doll clothes from now on and save her money.

 Maggie has braided hair today,  isn't it pretty?

Little Jo was a bit late today,  she had a hard time picking something to wear.  She ended up wearing a tank top and pink shirt that Grandma had bought at the Goodwill store.  It was in a grab bag of shoes and outfits made by American Girl. All of the girls love the bright pink color and the sweet little pink heart buttons and trim.

 Little Jo is always hamming it up when we take pictures.

 Maggie is holding her own by not letting Little Jo be the center of attention for our group pictures.

Everyone needs to get into place for our group picture.

 Little Jo insisted on one more picture of Cindy and herself.

 The dolls had a lot of fun today helping Grandma trim the plants and pick off dead blossoms from the flowers.  Cindy enjoyed putting the Halloween decor away,  and we all helped to weed and prune the plants.

JoAnn's dolls have beautiful new outfits too.  You can see them  **here** .

Diane has created a beautiful outfit for her doll Ginger, you can see her **here**.   

Have a wonderful week,

Have some fun,  get out and play a little!!
