China dolls adrift!

Adrift!


These are some of my favorite things....tiny china dolls  and one tiny paper mache doll.

They are sailing in a little wooden boat, that I found at the flea market for $40 and a wonderful carved whale that probably had a stand ...long gone .

Yes, it was a lucky find.





                                                                               

    One day as I was cleaning up around here,
  I started moving things around and couldn't resist   the temptation to "play". After all, what is the  use of having all these little treasures if you can't have a bit of fun with them.

  My husband bought the ship model a few years ago and it sat in his office for a while collecting  dust. I happened to notice it and decided it was a  really cute ,especially since it had a little captain  with a spy glass. Perfect for my little dolls.
