Kathy:
Thanks so much for the pics. OMG, they all look wonderful, especially what you did with the Kari Mitchell dress, Melody's jewelry is perfect with it - Chic Escape looks wicked! I wish I had seen your pics before I placed my order for Kari sets, I didn't include the brown and now I want it (pout). South African Princess is a beautiful doll and I love what you've done with her, she looks fabulous. I was glad to see your Evening Enchantment dress, it is lovely.

I put in a zipper and she stole the jewelry from the Modern Circle Melody doll ( you should have seen the cat fight over that!)

Next is my Princess of S. africa in the FR traveling outfit. She is really pretty in this. Still waiting for the Adele doll that really grabs me.

She is so dark that it is really hard to take a good pic. The hat didn't help, and neither did my lousy photo skils, but it really is a great combination.
Now here is my beloved number 3 sporting the Evening Enchanment dress. This doll steals everything that comes in the house. She is such a Diva. She grabs silkstone clothes, fashion ave.s everything. Oh well, the price of dealing with a beautiful doll. LOL

A friend has a reproduction of this outfit, and will be making a pattern of the cape that goes with it, so I will be able to make a reproduction of it, if I can find the right color red fabric. I am still so tickled to own the dress. For those who don't know vintage babs, it is a very rare and expensive one.
And last, here is the really cute TnT my dear MIL ( becoming dearer by the minute, if she keeps this up!) found for a $1.00! I cleaned her up, retied her pretty ash blond hair, and redid her lashes. I found this cute outfit the next weekend at a sale in a case of stuff for $2.00 and it just seems to fit her.

I surely have used up all my vintage Babs luck for a year!, but it has been a great summer. Ack! Hate talking about summer in the past tense, but it is cold and rainy here this weekend, and it sure feels like fall. Hope everyone is having a great weekend.
