La Befana Miniature / Ornament of eBay tonight

La Befana

According to Italian legend, La Befana was a witch living at the time of the birth of Jesus. The three wise men were on their way to Bethlehem, when they invited La Befana to come along. She was busy with her housework and declined. Later, once she had finished her cleaning, she set off on her broomstick with toys for the Gesú Bambino (Baby Jesus). However, she could not find the Three Kings and soon lost her way. Italian children believe that La Befana is still looking for Baby Jesus, and on the eve of the Epiphany(January 6th), she flies down the chimney of each house, and leaves gifts in the children’s shoes or Stockings which are left by the fireplace.

I have always enjoyed creating "La Befana" during the holidays. She can be used as a ornament or Flying (hanging) above your Christmas dollhouse. Total length of broom is 7" and height is only 3" (Top of package in sack)
She starts on eBay tonight three day auction.
Happy Holidays!!!

Our Halloween party "Monsters Wedding" Party 2010

I thought I would share some photos of our Halloween "Monster Wedding Party". I squeezed in to a vintage wedding dress and my monster's bride wig was a hoot! It kept moving on my head...felt like Marty Feldman on Young Frankenstein (Igor's hump kept changing sides!). My husband Gan is such a great guy he let me cover his face with green shiny eye makeup, but his bolts on his neck kept falling off!
All our friend's dressed up and we had a blast!
Happy Halloween!

Just had to share photos of my updated version  of my original 2004 Vampire Nanny (She has always been one of my favorite dolls!) . I have a very special collector who has asked me for many years to create another Vampire Nanny with the Vampire Baby in his buggy.  This year I said YES! and here she is ... and tomorrow she will be on her way to a special collectors home.

Happy October!
