The dolls have been very busy out in the gardens for the past few months. They are hoping that the rain will hold off long enough for them to enjoy one last garden party with all the remaining summer flowers & produce from the gardens….
The dolls share their potting shed with the bees, who are happy to provide the little painted cloth girls all the honey they need to sweeten their tea, in return for the all the flowers that the dolls have planted around their skep.
Gardening is hard work for little dolls…
One of Izzybelle’s chores is to pick the tomatoes.
Isane is all ready for a hard afternoon’s work.
“be careful Izzybelle!”
“Are you sure this will work?” “Yes. All we have to do is push at the same time…” “When I count to three you two push and I’ll pull.”
“Ohhh, our zinnias are starting to bloom!”
zinnias…
“The ones in our flower bed aren’t quite ready to bloom yet…”
The doll’s flower bed is actually a bed. It is an antique cradle with a zinc liner made for plants. ❤

Would you like to take a garden tour while we wait for the party to start at 4:30 pm Eastern Time?

Beyond amazing! I’m just drooling over each and every picture. This is the most perfect Garden Party day ever, rainy or not! The girls are just the most wonderful, charming gardeners ever! You have taught them well, and it’s plain to see that they are enjoying every minute. Thank you for inviting us into your lovely garden! Just perfect, Paula!
Oh thank you! ❤ They are very good helpers! We have had quite a lot of fun playing out in the garden this week as we got things ready for today. You get lots of credit for today's inspiration… if you hadn't suggested using the dry sink for a potting bench it would be a much different birthday celebration 🙂
Home from work and just made myself a hot cup of tea to sit and enjoy the garden party with all the dear dolls, Paula! The colors in every photograph are so cheerful and bright and charming! I didn’t realize that the dolls had their own potting shed and isn’t it just wonderful ~ That robins egg blue really makes it such a happy spot and you can tell that they love to be out in the garden for there is not a weed to be seen ~ being so close to the ground must be such an advantage for bending over in the garden ~ for as I get age, I really do feel the aches and pains in my old bones. Do the dolls hire out for gardening? What a lovely post! Looking forward to 4:30 PM!!!!! ❤
Thank you Sandy! They didn’t have a potting shed until very recently 🙂 I suddenly looked at some of the extra partial bricks left over from the walkways and thought hmmm…. doll size stairs! After that it was simply a matter of scooching the bee skep to the back and voila ~ a doll potting shed! They are wonderful helpers, but they have the attention span of children, three weeds and they are done! LOL
Simply wonderful!
Thank you!!!
