Opening Weekend at the

Texas Renaissance Festival

Now that's the Wee Peeple Spirit!

These funny ladies opened the festivities by coming to the faire dressed as 

Wee Peeple Dolls!

Yay! Let the FUN begin!

*****************************

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Hair Flowers!

Last month the Dollmaker only had a hat to use as a model

 for the Hair Flowers.

Live models are ever so much more FUN!

Very dressy, without being heavy....

...and festive in all lengths of hair.

However...

The Pink ones do look best in Pink hair! Of course!

*****************************

Now Hear Ye!

The prayers we FERVENTLY uttered during the drought have been

FULLY ANSWERED!

It can stop raining now!

*****************************

The Show Goes ON!  Rain or Shine!

TRF 2009

Horned Shaman Dolls

are back

**********************************************

And NOW,   Introducing...

our new Shoppe Helper:

Shandi

Shandi has been a big fan of the Wee Peeple Dolls for many years.

She has also been a contributor to this newsletter... her story

(acclaimed by Wee Peeple newsletter readers)

The Carousel

was published in the February 2009 Issue

of the Wee Peeple Newsletter...

And the article called

Shandi and the Magical Art Horses

which was about her, appeared in   the April 2008 Issue 

of the Wee Peeple Newsletter. 

Shandi makes literally everything- her clothes, her bag, her jewelry, hat, boxes, dragons, pendants, horses...

Remember, she gave the Dollmaker this painted box last year... that was in the

November 2008 Issue of the Wee Peeple Newsletter

A real talent! And a hearty welcome to Shandi!

Great to have you onboard!

And another Introduction....

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Kat's Baby

(remember last time, Kat had gotten married and then we saw her pregnant at Scarborough Faire... well...)

Parade Walker Kat had a bouncing baby boy!

And if you thought Kat was creative before, you should see the imaginative ways she decorates a baby carraige!

Who has more costumes... the baby or the Mom?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Speaking of Babies....

Second Weekend at the

Texas Renaissance Festival

was Fairy Weekend

(ok, they call it "1001 Dreams" or something, 

but most people just call it Fairy Weekend)

During this one time of year, the human Festivities attract an astonishing variety of Faeries; a lifetime of work for a person like Darwin.

***********************************

Then...

Third Weekend at the

Texas Renaissance Festival

was Pirate Weekend... aaaaargh.

The "Ghost Hat" 

Yes, a strange new "Pirate look" for the Dollmaker...

ok, what is it about  Pirate Garb? 

You can practically WATCH the mischief

bubbling up from deep within....

A LOT of people dressing like Pirates these days...

A Pirate Doll prepares for a journey

Avast, ye blaggards, make way for a gentleman!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The Bead Head Dolls Are getting some good Rides!

Can you find the BeadHead Doll

in this picture?

A jolly traveler in possession of a magic hat (and a mug full to the brim) found a companion small enough to sit amongst the many decorative objects on his hat and prompt him with the lyrics to his roudy songs.

***************************

Remember what the Dormouse said!

Feed your head! Feed your head!

-White Rabbit by Grace Slick

Hey! The Dormouse didn't say that!

(...however, the BeadHead Doll sings it this way....)

(Bead your Head! Bead your Head!)

-new version 

........................................

 'But what did the Dormouse say?' one of the jury asked.

'That  I can't remember,' said the Hatter.

- Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

----------------------------------

=====================================

My own definition of Dada:

- by Irving Stettner

 "An insane lyrical impulse to remain light and carefree,

always looking for something to wonder or marvel at, 

or love, or laugh at,

but always remaining illogical and joyous in a world gone mad 

with too much logic, seriousness,

science, newspapers, war, and  destruction."

IS DISNEY BUYING THE TEXAS RENAISSANCE FESTIVAL?

AGAIN WE TELL YOU... NO, NO, NO!

But you can read all about it in this article:

Disney is NOT buying the Faire

This Coming Weekend

October 31st- November 1st

The Theme is All Hallows Eve

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

yay! Finally! Witches!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

AND

A Whole new Line of Soft Sculptured Dolls

with smaller heads

(You-all seemed somewhat frightened by the Dollmaker turning to the hard and unfamiliar resin heads... The Soft-Sculptured Heads are your favorites; be assured that more than a few of you have told the Dollmaker this.)

Coincidentally, Soft Sculpture is also the Dollmaker's Favorite Style of Dollmaking, and these new smaller Wees are truly adorable.

(But we DO need a unique name for them... and not the Wee Wees!)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

AT the Texas Renaissance Festival

Once you come through the Front gate......

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

  To get to the

Wee Peeple Doll Shoppe

Shoppe #145

Make your FIRST HARD LEFT

WHEN YOU COME IN THE FRONT GATE

Follow the sidewalk all the way down.

We are located right there on the sidewalk,

just before you get to the beautiful big Odeon Stage.

While on the sidewalk, you might be seen by

Tommy! Our Gawker... oops, Hawker!
