Tink was taken for a walk a few days ago, to the local Post Office. And we wandered a little, taking a few photos of the murals in our town. (There's a whole walking route, but we didn't go far.) We enjoyed our walk together, but when we got home, Xennia was so sad that she didn't get to go, that Tink insisted she come on my next Post Office check a couple of days later. So if the locations look somewhat the same, it's because Tink kept guiding me back to the places she had her photo taken!

It's the McCall Girls! Nellie and Pamela are the ones in charge of the little ones for this River adventure! These girls have taken the Babysitter Training so they know just what to do... The Little Ones don't like to be called babies though. And they think they are old enough to look after themselves. So we had to get creative and think of a different phrase. Today we are calling them Nounous. We think it is French for "nannies". We'll use it until our friend April tells us how wrong that is....

Well, Pearl's buddy Zoey got to go with Chantal and Faith on the outing to the real Nicola Lake. And more of the Little Darlings were lucky enough to go to the Canadian Country Hall of Fame. Pearl stayed to meet up with the other girls who were left in Dolltown. They are heading out on the path to the River. They have been promised a picnic, and a surprise! How exciting! There will be grown up Dolltowners present, of course. It's a spring river, so safety first! First, a meet up on the Dolltown...

It's Zoey in the sage! Three of our girls got to go on our annual early spring outing around the north side of Nicola Lake. We like to make a stop at the top of the hill over the lake...great view! We check the melting ice on the lake, and collect a little sage to take back with us. And the girls got to play in the sage bushes and climb on the moss covered rocks. Zoey, Chantal, and Faith were ready at the door, dressed in their jeans and with their hair tied back so it wouldn't get tangled by...

It's spring! So the Dolltowners are out and about, rain or shine. And the Dolltown Bridge is once again an active meeting place... Bobby and Vera are getting their photos taken by their Caregiver, since they are too young to be here by themselves. But the Little Darlings are allowed to meet here on their own, as long as the Caregivers know where they are, and when they'll be back. So Zoey and Pearl and the girls are gathering here to plan a picnic at the River. And they've heard there is a...

My town is the Canadian Country Music Capital of Canada. Really! So recently, I took four of our Little Darlings to our local Country Music Hall of Fame! And they wore special rodeo outfits by the talented Carol Pringle, from Texas! We definitely need cowboy hats...and cowboy boots would be great! We spent a whole afternoon exploring and taking a few photos... The girls-Lula, Evie, Tink, and Xennia- are standing in front of golden plaques showing the inductees of the Canadian Country Music Hall...

Our dolls are a happy bunch! At least, that's what we like to think... For International Day of Happiness, we decided to present Dolltowners with smiles on their faces. Are they happy? You be the judge! Starting with Happy Face here in the fern! We have three smiling Little Darlings, so it's easy to imagine that they are happy....

I love Amazon Gift Cards! I have ordered four books about dolls, and I am waiting. Do you have either of these two? Any comments?

Tink is so excited to be our featured girl for March. And after we finished our pretty knitwear photo shoot, we brought in some Easter props. As you all know, celebrations start early and we have already been invited to submit some Easter photos... So, Tink got to be a featured part of the shoot that we will be posting closer to Easter...a whole month away! (Who's our April girl? You'll have to come back to see...) We have lots to do in the meantime. But it's nice to have a few photos ready...

Conner is lost in thought, imagining designs... She has been at Fashion Doll Stylist's Design School for Girls, in Detroit, for over two months now. And she has been busy! The first photos are of Conner and her friends getting dressed up to celebrate Carnival. April dressed her own divas in bright, feathered, barely-there outfits for the event. And Conner took advantage of all the glitter, gold, and sequins! (See Fashion Doll Stylist's Post...Carnival 2017!!!) And then we have a photo record of...
