Addition to my Doll Family for Perfect Moment/Mellow Yellow Monday

Please allow me to introduce you to the newest member of my doll family, Ashley. She is an early birthday present from my thoughtful family and she came from a wonderful yarn and fiber arts store, Websters in Ashland, Oregon. Ashley was made by an 18 year fiber artist using the technique of "felting". Her unexpected arrival and the joy of a new doll still thrills this soon to be 48 year old little girl at heart.

A sincere Thank you to my hosts, Lori for Perfect Moment Monday and Drowsy Monkey for Mellow Yellow Monday and to you for your visit.

Happy 59th Anniversary, Mom and Dad!
