♥ i am doll parts.

hello, dolly!!

today, i am a smitten kitten for these

crazy/adorable charm bracelets that

i found on etsy by the seller: brise risvegli.

with a dizzying array of

wonderfully-miniature household wares

that range from tiny tea cups to teensy toothpastes-

the designer, francesca, offers a jewelry collection

so delightful and delicious

that it will have you begging your sisters

to break out the barbie fold & fun house and polly pockets

and play another round for old time's sake!

{or at least i will!}

shhhhh!!!!!!

here is a little inside scoop for readers:

any order you place that is $50 and up

comes with a pair of free earrings!!

as a child of the 80's with barbies aplenty,

i never really owned an old fashioned dollhouse.

the closest i ever came to playing with one

was a day that my cousin brought hers over,

and i (being the clumsy girl that i am)

fell off the arm of the sofa and

smashed the wooden structure to pieces.

i guess i should have picked on something my own size-

which is why i simply adore this life size doll house exhibition

completed a few years back by canadian artist,

heather benning.

over an 18-month period, the artist completely gutted

this abandoned saskatchewan farm house

transforming it room by room,

coating the walls in a candy color and

filling them with 60's style furniture.

the finishing touch is the removal of the north.facing walls,

which were replaced with plexiglass for a look

that is perfectly dolled.up

and if i couldn't squeeze myself into this giant doll house- my second choice would be to jump into the colorful pages of french craft magazine marie claire idees,which has a number of fabulous and whimsical vignettes designed by french stylist/designer/writer camille soulayrol.

you can buy some of her prints here!
