Spring Break!

4

Spring break is finally here!  I did lots of fun stuff to celebrate, but most notably, I met a new friend and her gorgeous Nancy doll.  She also made my Nancy a matching outfit, which you can see below in the picture.  The blue trim looks sooooo good with the color of Nancy's eyes.  I just love it.  It is really, really well made, and she even has a tag inside.  Please visit her Etsy Shop and check out all her custom creations.
This is the photo I submitted for the Nancy Contest.

The Famosa Folks have been running a contest for 60's themed photos of Nancy dolls.  This is the photo I submitted, with the caption, "First there was Nancy, then there was a man on the moon..." (in Spanish, of course).  You can see my little Treasure wearing the new outfit that Diana made.  Just gorgeous!  My piernas flexibles is wearing a printed dress that I hastily (and wrecklessly) stitched together, and Francie is wearing a BFC Ink dress.  The girls are supposed to be watching the moon landing on tv.  I doubt very seriously that I will win, as there are lots of good other photos, but if I do, I sure hope I can find someone in Spain to ship the prize to.  That will be Afner's job.

Before all that fun stuff happened though, Afner and I took a trip thrifting through Charlotte.  I brought Nancy along and took some fun photos.  Here they are:

Simplemente la mas bonita :)

I hope you've enjoyed these photos.  We certainly enjoyed taking them.  Stay tuned for news to come about new AG goodies!
