Today's face is of a different sort--it's a porcelain one--
As you can see, I've already started to 'dress' her. She's been in my collection of porcelain doll heads for a couple of years now--her body, long forgotten, but fortunately, someone knew to save her face until someone came along to rescue her and bring her back to life. And now was the time to do it!
I gave her a wooden bobbin (I think that's what they're called) body, and dressed her with vintage lace complete with some jewelry, and pearls and roses even for her hair.
Now she's in her new home--
This is an old printer's tray from the early 1900's . I love when I can find these, and it's so much fun hunting for those little pieces that belong in it. In this case, it's her new home.
There's a kitchen--
and an office--
a game room--
and extra space for the lady of the house--
and even more faces for day 7--
(can you not tell how much fun I'm having!--just like a little kid)
I Loved putting this together! I'm having fun with this 29 faces challenge!
And if you want to see lots more or even participate--visit HERE--tons of inspiration!!

I love this and I'm so envious of all the treasures you have! I want to make something like this one day too. The hunt for treasures just got accelerated.
Your printer tray collection is very charming. I have three trays myself but they all require filling. Before we moved, one of them used to be filled with bits and bobs that I let my son add to it. He would even pick up things he found on the way home from school and excitedly brought it in to display. I am inspired by your tray to start a new one myself. I just wish I had really big sections like your trays seem to have.
OOhh,fun! What a great collection, now I want to get one!
oh and awe, love this so beautiful
One of the most intriguing things you've done! Don't we all wanna go thrift-shopping now and find bits n bobs!
Um, that assemblage!!!!!! Really?! Swoon. (again) xoxo
(Happy almost birthday)
wow! it's great!
