I also found these three adorable headless baby mannequins at the Fortunoff sale. I have no use for them and bought them to SELL AT COST to any member of the New New Team (or someone they know) so they will find a new, loving, crafter home. They are way classy and cuddly and will make your display look like it stepped out of a high end children’s boutique.
The appendaged babies have a loop on the back for hanging and a pipe in a leg for standing (though one baby lost its loop when Child “J” decided to swing it around, new owner will just have to rig a new one.) They are $70.00 for all three. Contact me at
jodylee@jodylee.org and ignore the non-delivery mail response, it’s wrong. I’m not going to haggle, or split them up, or jump through hoops to mail them to Nebraska. If someone wants them I’ll bring them to a street fair or team meeting, and if no one does, I will put them up on Etsy for a profit or use them to display my daughter’s cute baby clothes – yes, I’m a hoarder of useless, sentimental objects, so act now before my hoarding instincts get the better of me.
Well, the Holidays were too hectic to blog, and I spent January doing a bookcover. February was spent working on special bead orders and my new display. I put beadboard wainscotting panels around my plastic portable shelves, held in place with plastic ties, used an old piano top cover for the middle table board, and painted everything white. All in keeping with my shabby chic-Coastal Living vibe. I had to use the garage for my photographing - the due dates for fair applications were coming and we have been in a continuous round of rain and snowstorms - Could not put up a tent in 14" of snow. Aack!
I love my wacky baroque candelabras, which I repurposed with the help of some wood dowels and and aluminum wire into displays for my big Oceana Heart Pendants. They're actually pretty fragile for something so heavy.
