FLOWER FAERIES OF FLORIDA







Mt. Dora sister city of Forres of Scotland, is a quaint little village. Hundred year old Cottages line the narrow streets, a canopy of ancient moss covered oak trees give this city an old fashion appearance. This is one of my favorite cities located in central Florida, food, art festivals, and beautiful old lake side inns.






I had heard of a very special garden, where Flowers and Faeries lived, it took several hours to find. But, when I found this secret garden, it was more beautiful than I could have imagined.





Colorful Faeries were everywhere I looked, butterflies and bees sang the summertime songs.

These three Flower Faeries are now in my Etsy shop

ADO MMC ELLEN DOLLS TO THE WALL





Art dolls only, mini monthly challenge
This month was such fun!
I am a huge fan of the Ellen Show, I decided to make Ellen and all her Loves
Her wife, who looks like a mermaid, lots of birds, and dogs and cats and Ellen in the center
All soft sculpture dolls, lots of felted pieces, it is the kind of piece that will make you smile, and that is what her show does for me everyday.
"Smiling and Dancing"
This piece will be donated to the Show for one of Ellen's many animal charities
If you can tell, my picutres are hopefully improving, new camera, and a new computer, you can even click on photos and see stitches, still trying to figure out the new computer, so bear with me!
