A Teenager's Dollhouse : October 2013

Halloween Week: Interview with The Salty's!

It's Kanani here! I'm filling in for Caroline today since she is the official "reporter" for this blog.

Today, we are very excited to show an interview with one of our most favorite doll blogs-The Salty's! you can click here , here or here to go to their fabulous site! (You can also click here!)

Here's the interview!:

1. What is your favorite thing about Halloween?

Chrissa: The candy! Just kidding (sort of), I love choosing and wearing my costume.

Elizabeth Grace: I think planing my costume.

2. Do you dress up in costume for Halloween, if yes, what are you being this year?

Chrissa: Of course!

Elizabeth Grace: However, Chrissa and I can not tell you our costumes of choice, because it's a surprise.

3. What is your favorite candy?

Chrissa: CANDY CORN!!!! (If it counts)

Elizabeth Grace: Milky Way bars, but only in small amounts (candy is rather unhealthy).

4. What is your favorite monster?

Chrissa: Um... I don't have one...

Elizabeth Grace: I do not have a favorite monster.

5. Do you decorate your doll house for Halloween?

Elizabeth Grace: Not exactly. We decorate for Fall, but not for Halloween alone.

Chrissa: What Elizabeth said.

6. What do you like better, tricks or treats?

Chrissa: Defiantly treats.

Elizabeth Grace: I would agree with Chrissa.

7. Do you like the "scary" side of Halloween?

Elizabeth Grace: Not in any way. Glorifying death is simply not appealing to me.

Chrissa: To a degree, yea.

8. Have you ever pulled a Halloween prank?

Chrissa: I might have, but I don't remember.

Elizabeth Grace: I have never done such a thing.

Thanks Chrissa and Elizabeth! We can't wait to see your costumes!

See you tomorrow for Halloween fun! We fave some cat costume pictures to share! ;)

Dolloween Post Series Week 3: All Dolled Up

First off I'd like to apologize for no posts this week, it was a very, VERY busy week for me!

This past Thursday, was our annual Girl Scouts Halloween Party, so we set the dolls up in their costumes for decor. I was a huge hit! I have one group shout of them all together Thursday night, and that's it down below. It was almost 11 PM so lighting was...iffy. But the rest I took in broad daylight so enjoy!

That's everyone! Lindsey as the clown, Kanani as the vampire, Abagaile as Star Trek girl (note; we are making a Abagaile a cat costume, which isn't done yet. We wanted everyone to be down there so..you get the rest right?), Lanie as ghost (Lanie will be a bat- also not done with yet!), Molly as the pumpkin, Mia as the princess (which we made some recent adjustments too, so see the below photos for the updated costume), Saige as the Devil (needs hemming), Caroline as the witch (which is being fixed and altered as you read), and Connor as Mummy (again, last minute costume thrown together! Connor is being the ghost!)! Me? Well I'm Twilight Sparkle from My Little Pony!

Here are some up-close shots of everyone!

Lindsey as the clown. One of my favorite costumes! I already did a post on this so I won't go into much detail on her.

Kanani as vampire. Okay, the vampire is my favorite! It is from last year, and we had a little belt thing around the waist, which got lost so we have to remake!

Abigaile as Star Trek girl. This costume was purchased from Etsy, by the way!

Lanie as ghost. Tutorial is already up!

Molly as pumpkin. So cute!

Saige as devil. Okay, maybe THIS is my favorite!

She even has a little tail!

Mia as princess. I'm still not loving the head piece. Ugh. The base dress we found at Goodwill in the lot where we bought Lindsey. The girls never wore the plain pink dress, so we up-cycled it!

Connor as the mummy. Yes, he his made out of toilet paper.

Oh, and here is a shot of Caroline being altered. No where near done.

What are you for halloween?

OOTW- Seashells at Sundown

It's time for this week's OOTW! :)

So first, a little bit about the the name of this weeks OOTW; Seashells, because Molly's necklace is a Seashell is necklace- it's one of my favorite parts of the OOTW.

Sundown? Well I took these a bit before sundown the other day and it's a bit past sundown as I'm typing this now.

Enjoy the photos!

Right through half of it, my dog (Pepper) started to get a bit nosy.

I love this photo. :) (above)

Here's the facts!:

Doll: Molly

Headband: Past Holiday Outfit (we got at the sale)

Necklace: Molly's 1944 Swimsuit

Shirt: Our Cousin gave to us when she went to see the Kit movie premiere in LA

Shorts: AG Place LA (also given to us by our cousin) old store exclusives that we cuffed

Shoes: From Lanie's Butterfly Garden Outfit

So basically, it's all American Girl. Not very creative- we know. We making a hand painted infinity shirt that will be in next weeks OOTW. GET EXCITED!

Oh, and here's a bonus un-edited photo of Pepper and Molly.

Dolloween Post Series- Frightfully Fun Finds!

That's right everybody! It's time for our second Dolloween post!

Our first find are these removable stickers. They were in the dollar section at Target, but they did cost three dollars. We thought these would be really cute to hang up in our dollhouse!

AHHHHHH! A SPIDER!

We found these felt stickers in the Target dollar section also. These would be cute to attach to ribbon and hang from our dollhouse ceiling- don't you think?

I think I'll name this one batty.

One of our favorite finds is this "Happy Halloween" sign! Can you guess where we got it.....THE TARGET DOLLAR SECTION! This will be so cute to hang in our dollhouse!

Cuteness at it's finest.

Our favorite find from Target are these candy corn erasers!

Yum!

We found this spice jar at IKEA and we thought it would be perfect to store the candies...if we had some more though. ;)

At GoodWill, we got some kitty cat ears! Mamma is making Abagaile a kitty costume for Halloween, this is exactly what she needed! We just cut them shorter so they fit us better. It was 99 cents.

Now this is a cool find. We got this witch hat at Goodwill! It's brand new- the price tag is still on it. We paid two dollars- this will be great for Kanani's witch costume...don't you think?

SO CUTE!

Weekend Chores

Uck. Chore time. My siblings and I switch off each weekend who has to do chores. Which is nice, because I don't have to do anything for nine weeks!

But, it sure is a lot of chores when it's your turn. My sisters went various places to day, so I was by myself. Except Connor, he was still sleeping at 11 o'clock. (Can you believe that?!)
