Last winter, I’d made a tree topper fairy for Guncle Randy, using a pin cushion doll. He had a collection of those and brought them to share with me and make some more.
Some we crafted onto empty tp rolls covered in vintage paper to make into tree toppers again, the rest were simply built to hang. Probably on a tree at the holidays?
But not necessarily. We took our bounty of beauties and hung them onto my chandelier to decorate for a birthday luncheon. They aren’t exactly Christmas ornies, they’d just look exquisite on a tree at the holidays.
This one, this queen of all pin cushion royalty, she would rule wherever she was placed. Oh my, what a gorgeous doll she is, no matter what I do with her or how she got jazzed up.
The day before, I’d found this onyx lamp base at a garage sale, it cost under a dollar. I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with it, til Randy sat this woman onto the top of the stone.
Oh my, she found her home!
I started to deck her out for the holidays, but soon realized she needed to be a daily part of my life, so no golden tinsel or shiny brites got added after all.
Thank you, baby bro, I love her!
