The Planting
From Grass to Gardens
the biggest garden the Dollmaker has ever attempted:
The front yard.
Awesome Brothers, Lance and Derrick, helped the Dollmaker till the land and
build The West Garden Gate and the South Garden Gate
The Cindys... Wexler and Meredith visited the Dollmaker
and gave her hundreds of seeds to plant!
And then... while innocently passing a nursery along the highway, she heard them...
calling to her like Sirens as she was driving to Austin... the Dollmaker stopped and
two enormous Passion Vines jumped into her van, drove back to the garden,
sprung out onto the arbors and started blooming like mad.
The Peach House Gardens are already flourishing as well!
Blueberry flowers, Petunias (which never died over the winter), Poppies (from seeds!),
volunteer Albino Bluebonnets, Dianthus (also wintered over) with onions, and Crape Myrtle
just to mention a few...
Sometimes we need to....
...Beware...
of small romantically-inclined forest animals wearing clothes
who wander up close in broad daylight!
(Ha! ...we know he says those things to all the girls!)
What Pirate Treasure?
After (or was it "before") a few glasses of "Cider"... Larry and the Dollmaker
lost all their other friends in the forest...
...nor were they able to remember the location of any "Pirate Treasure"...
oh well... as the Dollmaker always says: When in doubt, buy a hat.

That's right, folks...
Shoppe #158 is not just a Doll Gallerie anymore!
Imagine a Magical Variety Shoppe
where, mixed in amongst the Doll Population,
are these antique-looking fabulous steampunkish
Maps of Nether Worlds and sometimes even Familiar Worlds
which can also be special ordered to depict your own
real or fantasy land masses, oceans and continents...
Remember the location of Your "Pirate Treasure"!
Another Other-Worldly Artist has joined up with Wee Peeple!
He goes by the name of "Q"
and matches the Dollmaker in sheer-cliff all-holds-barred Creativity
He also knows how to elegantly transform your
plain Important Documents, Stories, Precious Drawings and Photographs
into Beautiful Scrolls!
Q!
Wait till you meet him!
You will love this guy!
Appropriately re-named this season, shoppe #158 is now simply called:
yay.
