K, your dolls are just the best little cooks!
We are always happy when the dolls get into the kitchen!
Your house must smell divine! đŸ™‚
It does…sniff, sniff sniff! We love this time of year!
Willa found a wonderful home. She looks so happy.
Willa is a darling, we love having her in this cupboard, and just know she is going to be a cheerful girl with smiles for all!
I can almost smell it from here! What generous little girls. I am sure Jane will create something wonderful.
Almost the spice combo I use for pumpkin pie minus mace and coriander. I’ve never seen mace here.
Mine came from France!
The Quimper Hittys have the most adorable kitchen things–love their mortar and pestle, whisk, and bowl. Such industrious little girls they are!
