I'm sorry I didn't get a picture of this, but I turned on some music for my little group and they danced and danced. They all love to waltz and oh, my goodness, they're very good! I got so wrapped up in the watching, I forgot the snapping! :) It was a glorious sight, believe me!
Okay, tiny ones...SMILE! "Snap"! Great! I have the group picture now. I hoped you've enjoyed my tiny little ones today! Oh, excuse me one moment...
****************************
Okay! Have I teased you long enough? Are you ready to know who has won my little bird pillow?
I used this Random Number Generator/Picker thingy.
I poked in my tiny numbers, clicked enter and up popped number 29! I wrote down each name and the blog as each person commented! Who could number 29 be?
Now who in the world is number 29?
Oh, it's my dear friend Nancy at Southern Lady! Congratulations Nancy! I hope you will enjoy the little pillow I have made with my very own tiny hands! Now I will poke some little surprises in with the pillow! Congratulations, Nancy! Please e-mail me with your address info!
Thanks again to all of you Dear Ones for entering my giveaway!
Be a bunch of sweeties,
Shelia :)
I'll leave you with a little Note Song~
Tennessee Waltz
I was dancin' with my darlin to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see.
I introduced him to my darlin' and while they were dancin'
My friend stole my sweetheart from me.
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
Now I know just how much I have lost
Yes, I lost my little darlin' the night they were playin'
That beautiful Tennessee Waltz
Now I wonder how a dance like the Tennessee Waltz
Could have broken my heart so complete
Well I couldn't blame my darlin', and who could help fallin'
In love with my darlin' so sweet
Well it must be the fault of the Tennessee Waltz
Wish I'd known just how much it would cost
But I didn't see it comin', it's all over but the cryin'
Blame it all on the Tennessee Waltz
She goes dancin' with the darkness to the Tennessee Waltz
And I feel like I'm falling apart
And it's stronger than drink and it's deeper than sorrow
This darkness she left in my heart
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
Cause I know just how much I have lost
Yes I lost my little darlin' the night they were playin'
That beautiful Tennessee Waltz

ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Nancy!
ReplyDeleteI love your figurines. I have a couple of them, marked occupied Japan. I should put them under one of my cloches.

Oh your little dolls are so cute. My mom had a large one years ago...yeah, uh, its gone!
ReplyDeleteAnyways, happy dance for the winner...I really held my composure quite well this time! Only a few whines and tears. I told you I wouldn't win!!! Have a great week my friend.
Hi Shelia, your figurines are so adorable....so sweet and I love how you have them displayed!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Nancy. Once again, Shelia, happy blogging anniversary.
Happy Blue Monday.
Hugs, Barb
Your collection of little figurines are all just gorgeous. They are so cute and so beautifully dressed with such wonderful detail. Be sure to save this pic for the "Cloche Party" in Sept. Congratulations to Nancy, I know she will love the pillow, it really is beautiful. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteLove all the figurines, Shelia! You really have an amazing collection, and they look good "en cloche"... is that a phrase???
ReplyDeleteAnd I certainly hope that Nancy enjoys "my" pillow! LOL! ;-) Seriously, it is adorable, and I know she can't help but enjoy it.
You were sweet to do this, Shelady!
XO,
Sheila :-)
Those are gorgeous. My mom used to make the porceline figurines, and did the lacey ones like you showed. It's so cool how they do that.
ReplyDeleteDid you know that they actually dip lace in the porceline, then shape it onto the figurine. When its fired in the kiln, the lace burns away.
You silly little tiny lady..you just delight the heck out of us with every post. Your collection is just lovely. And, they all seem to get along together under glass..:)
ReplyDeleteLucky Mizz Southern Nancy...she will just love that pillow to pieces!!

Shelia, I can just see your dalrling figures waltzing the night away. Fun post!
ReplyDeleteDawn
Hi Sheilia, Yes you do remember me from RMS, I think my kitchen and small but spa like bath are the two rooms people will remember the most. Thank you so much for your sweet comment over at my guest post on Martys blog, I really appreciate it. I just love all of your figurines, what a wonderful and fun collection, hugs Kathysue

Congrats to Nancy - she's very lucky! I love your figurines Shelia. They look so pretty grouped together. I hope you have a very nice week.
ReplyDeleteMay Nancy enjoy her beautiful win! Your figurines are very expensive collectors items, for sure, Shelia. They are beautifully presented & lovely. Looks like they are heading out to the dance. TTFN ~Marydon
ReplyDeleteHey Shelia! Good morning, afternoon. What a lovely blue Monday you have posted. I always enjoy seeing your blog and what clever things you are upto! HOpe your day is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Debbie
Wow these are in GREAT condition. I do love the collection. Something about those little figures are so quaint. Blessing to you on Blue Monday!
ReplyDeleteHi Sweet Shelia,
ReplyDeleteThose figurines are lovely ... and so talented! They remind me of the ones my great-aunt used to display proudly when I was a child. She didn't have children of her own, but she and my uncle used to host lots of family dinner. We children were cautioned (seriously cautioned!) not to run, touch things, play the piano, talk loudly, etc. etc. We had fun anyway!
I didn't go to their estate auction (would have been too sad), but my father said "your aunt's little doo-dads sold for a small fortune!" They had owned a jewelry store, and I realize now a lot of her doo-dads she'd taken home with her were Hummels, etc.
bye for now ....
-bill
How beautiful and lovely stories you told, Shelia!
ReplyDeleteLovely collections!
Congratulations to Nancy!
It is so sweet Shelia!
Hello Sheila, hooray! I finally have some time to visit my dear blogging friends. That would be you Sheila.
ReplyDeleteI do love your occupied Japan figurines. I have a few too but mostly I sold them when I was in the antique business. The one I have is still with the price tag. Woolworth Five and Dime, 15 cents. My mom gave it to me some time ago because she knew how much I loved those figurines. Yours are all so special and very collectible. thank you for sharing them. I do love your stories.
Congrats to Nancy for winning the pillow. She is lucky to win such a prize.
Have a very happy day.
Hugs...Jeanne
Oh Sheila...I just love this collection!!! Your figurines are gorgeous!!! They have such a european feel to them...all dressed up in their fancy clothes!!! I loved how you grouped them together and took their picture...so creative!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful post!!!
Enjoy!!!
XOXO
Cathy
I adore your figurine collection! I have a large collection in my corner curio. I finally had to stop buying them because I ran out of room in the cabinet.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Carol
PS~Congratulations to Nancy for winning the adorable pillow!
Congrats to Nancy, the pillow is lovely.
ReplyDeleteYour figurines are so stately and pretty. I did notice that the faces on the couple were surprisingly the same. lol You have quite a nice collection.
Oh Nancy congratulations!!!! What a sweet gift from our sweet lady friend! Oh I was happy just to see my name on your page! Ha ha...now isn't that a treat?!
ReplyDeleteI love your sweet figurines and the lovely tale you told about all of them! They look especially good under your cloche. What a great way to use it.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I would have loved to win the pillow, it will be perfect in Nancy's home and I am glad she won!
Kady
Hi Sheila , I just love little figurines.The made in occupied Japan ones are getting hard to find.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your prayers dear one.
Awwww poops! I missed your giveaway but congrats to the winner. She is one lucky lady to have such a sweet piece made with love from you. Hope you had a great Monday~
ReplyDeleteBeen playing with dolls today, have you?? So have I, only with different kinds. My daughter, grand daughter and I went through 4 big tubs of daughter's childhood dolls today. (We're cleaning out the attic.) It was rather bittersweet, as I discovered I cared more about those dolls and the doll clothes I had made than she does. Guess I have to get over it, as they are going to our yard sale in a couple of weeks. I'm sad, but we really have to get rid of stuff; and she doesn't want them. Sally
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful blue figurines with such a neat history Shelia.
ReplyDeleteI love the way your took the photos. I was expecting them to talk to me at any time. LOL!
Congrats to sweet Miss Nancy!
The pillow looks just like something she will enjoy.
You did a lovely job making it.
Have a blessed evening.
~Melissa :)
Oh, what pretty things... and I'm late I'm late for your give away! ;) Well, maybe next time I can participate... ;)
