Take a Trip on the Caravan of Love




Here are the Caravans with the Sisters, they make you want to jump in the car and head off on holidays.
Michelle has an unsurpassed talent that is no longer just for us to see.
The caravans will be in the shop soon for everyone to enjoy, and just when you thought that was it, no no, there is a form of transport to tug that little caravan on it's way.
Stay tuned to our blog.

Caravan of Love


















I love the song Caravan of Love by the McMartins and so do Michelle as it has inspired her to have our own Caravan of Love.
Here's the first verse:

Are you ready for the time of your life
It's time to stand up and fight
(It's alright) It's alright (It's alright, it's alright)
Hand in hand we'll take a caravan
To the Motherland.

The Adams Family



The Adams family was such a part of our lives growing up like the Waltons and the Flinstones. Here at The Royal Sisters we have been having a bit of a Adams family moment and have created our version of Morticia and Wednesday.

We love the fact that Gomez was totally besotted with Morticia and that there is a part of Pugsly and Wednesday in all of us. Where would we be without these memories.

Above is our version of Wednesday.

goth?


well this is as close as i could get
love the legs they remind me of funky stockings
the hair thing has been a challenge to say the least
but i think it is turning out pretty amazing
her eyes are a lot darker around the edge than the photo shows
i think the flash on the camera seems to wipe them out a bit
hope you all enjoy our new byron sister...
don't forget to check her out on etsy.

mia


Mia is now in the etsy shop
her dress is the most amazing fabric
its a "wee play" by american jane
they have such a fantastic array of funky fabrics
on the market at the moment i don't know where
to start.
am in the process of creating a slighty goth doll
but as you can image by the time
i finish her she could end up
looking as sweet as sugar and spice.

On the home front i have had a very busy night
at work and stink of oil "i run a kitchen"
5 nights a week and weekend lunches.
can't tell you how much i love mondays.

carouselle


I came across this little number
as i cruised down the isle of Big W
yes i know its hard to believe but there it was
its tag says "carouselle style makes the world go, round.
and at the bargain price of $29.92
its perfect to wear over jeans as its not to long
and doesn't have that smock look that some tops can give off.
On another note its around 1 degrees over night here and
i sometimes find it hard to even type
because my hands are so cold
i'm hopeing to have some more "sisters" done soon
but its impossible to keep warm long enough
to sit out at the work table come nightfall {no heater out there}.
am hopeing everyone else is "as snug as a bug in a rug"

They are works of art, I am sure that you will agree, I am about to put them up in the shop.

Happy Mothers Day to all. I thought that I would share a new cookie that my sister in America has up for sale on her Etsy Store. I can't wait to have her back in Newcastle, hopefully as soon as possible. Best Wishes to all.

Sally, Sally sleeps a-lot


Sally, Sally sleeps a-lot,
when she rests she dreams a-lot.
ponies and princes and palaces too,
remembering poems and singing in tune.
dresses and dragons and daisy-chains lay,
dancing around on a warm summers day.
give her a cuddle, give her a kiss,
its time to wake up but she wants to resist.
Sally, Sally sleeps a-lot,
when she rests she dreams a-lot.

Michelle wrote this dity to go with apptly named Sally Sleeper Sister. Miss M. named her and she is in the shop from this morning.

Eshe, an Egyptian Royal Sister

We welcome Eshe to The Royal Sisters. Eshe means life and I think that she is certainly worthy of the name. The olive green of her accessories and her darker complexion make her a real LIFE addition to our sisters. Take a look at our shop at all of our sisters, I know that you will be amazed.

Hasina, an Egyptian Royal Sister

Here is Hasina. She has beautiful skin, amazing eyes and a fabulous dress. What's not to like.
When I think of Egypt I think of being on Lord Carnovan's dig and wearing linen outfits and having ice teas brought to me. Howard Carter had a real drive to keep up the push to find the young King Tut. I think that passion is something to be really admired. One day I will visit the Valley of the king's if only in books and in my dreams.
