Christmas & Candy Canes

Red striped candy canes as we know them now have been the official Christmas candy since about 1900. (Before this time they were solid white.) But only recently, it seems, every company has a candy cane variation for their products i.e., Candy Cane Oreos, Ghirardelli peppermint bark, Starbucks drinks (too many to list), Dairy Queen Candy Cane Chill Blizzard, etc. etc.

Since all of the above will ruin a diet here is my Little Darling, Gina, modeling a no calorie version starring the candy cane.

Doesn’t she look yummy?

So, what are your favorite treats in candy cane flavors?

Let’s All “Make a Christmas Wish”

2 Replies

Close your eyes right now and make a Christmas wish with Millie. I think that if we all wish (or pray) for peace, love, sharing, caring, and all things good there might be more of that this holiday season. All of those positive thoughts being put out there has to yield positive results, right?

I’d like to introduce you to my newest sweetie, Millie. She is a sunkissed slim mini BJD by Kaye Wiggs. At the moment she has Glib light green grey eyes and is wearing a carrot red Giselle mohair wig from Kemper. She is ever so sweet and just makes me smile whenever I look at her!

Her very first outfit to model is called “Make a Christmas Wish” which she is happy to show you now. Personally I think she is having too much fun with the magic wand. You know how little girls are with glitter.

This outfit is available for sale on my website and to start off the sharing this season I will donate $75 of the purchase price to the Make a Wish America foundation in the purchaser’s name. Make a Wish will even send you a thank you card.

Millie and I hope all of your Christmas wishes come true!

Four and a half weeks to go…

…until Christmas!

Am I ahead of the game by having all of my shopping finished? No.

Am I a little ahead by have some shopping completed? No.

Have I even bought one gift yet? No.

Am I worrying? No…not yet, but soon, yes, I will be worrying soon.

What is getting done around here then? Lots of sewing, knitting, embroidering, photographing…for my dolls. They are looking so festive in their parade of holiday garb. It seems like they are always wearing something new. Tonight my Pukipuki, Sugar, and my Little Darling, Gina, are showing you their brand new outfits.

Gina is dressed and ready in her “Holiday Helper” casual set. While mom is wrapping gifts (with the doors securely closed in her workroom) Gina is carefully arranging them under the tree where they will sit prettily until Christmas. As she is busy finding the perfect spot under the tree for each gift she cannot help but take a peek to see if maybe it is for her.

Sugar is our tiny “Li’l Holly Bells” elf. She is so tiny and always busy as a little bee that it is hard to find her sometimes. I managed to locate her when I heard the softest tinkle of her tiny bell accompanied by a slightly louder giggle.
