Before

You would love to donate your hair, but don't want the commitment of a super short hairdo.  Pantene's Beautiful Lengths is the answer!  With a minimum donation of eight inches of hair (in comparison to the average ten), ladies (and men too) are able to get the haircut of their dreams just in time for summer!

Favorite Season: Is it Springtime?

Being able to gather a bouquet of blossoming flowers from the backyard and create such a lovely arrangement really warms my heart.  It brings elegance to a cozy home, and the floral scent truly fills the house!

The vase I am borrowing from my sister.  It is one of her decoupage art creations featuring images with resemblance to Lichtenstein pop art, and I still have it from after a recent photo shoot of it.  The vase will soon be available for purchase in her Etsy shop's Upcycled Decoupage Art section.

Embracing the Misconceptions of Online Doll Shoppers May Help Sales

From a doll collector's standpoint, it may seem arbitrary to have a doll pop up in a search that it may or may not belong in.  However, the idea of potential customers distinguishing dolls themselves incorrectly leads reason to believe that providing this gateway to your doll for sale is in fact logical.

To conclude, it is more than coincidence that these dolls resemble one another; they did all originate from companies that started producing dolls around the 40's and 50's.  The use of plastic in doll making was right at the beginning.  In hindsight, this set the foundation for dolls made today.
