Steve Carrell and assortment of fashion dolls stars in the quirky, cute and somewhat politically correct movie “Welcome to Marwen.” After a brutal attack by five men, Mark Hogancamp is left crippled emotionally and physically. With many of his memories lost and unable to draw because of his injuries, Mark picks up his camera and begins to reconstruct his memories and his life by taking photos of dolls. These photos reinact scenes from his broken memories and his dreams and take him on a cathartic journey into a new chance at life. The movie follows Mark’s staging and photographing doll dioramas, constructed in the elaborate town of Marwen Belgium he has constructed in his back yard. As he sets up the photos, the dolls come to life to tell the story through Mark’s imagination. Although the storyline of the doll scenes is set during World War II, it becomes clear that the Nazis who keep threatening Mark and Marwen are actually the five white supremicists who attacked him in r...

March 9, 2020, marked the birthday of the iconic Barbie doll, one of the world's favorite children's toys and the most popular doll on the market. Barbie dolls are sold in 150 countries around the world. The first Barbie doll was officially released by Mattel on March 9, 1959, at the New York Toy Fair at a cost of only $3. That first Barbie doll had side-glancing eyes with white irises, red lips and arched eyebrows. Her hair was styled in a ponytail with curly bangs. She had a very pale, ivory skin tone and came in blonde and brunette.  Barbie Doll's 50th Anniversary Barbie wore her famous black and white striped swimsuit and sported sunglasses and black heels. She came with either copper tubes in her feet for her first stand, or the black wire stand that lasted for much of the ponytale vintage era. Sixty years later she's more popular than ever.  On average 58 million Barbie dolls are sold each year. 60th Anniversary Barbie Doll Barbie has had well over 200 different c...

The little Tiny Treasures Woodland Fairytale Miniatures gnomes decided they were tired of living under a potted plant and moved outside to live among the toadstools.  These mushrooms popped up overnight and were just too cute a setting to ignore. The colorful gnomes make an enchanted village among the toadstools.  Related: Tiny Treasure Woodland Fairytale Miniatures Fun for Indoor Gardens http://fashion-dolls-101.blogspot.com/2018/07/tiny-treasures-woodland-fairytale.html?m=1

Michaels has been carrying some cute little miniature figures with a forest theme that are perfect for using with your indoor plants or alone in their own little woodland setting. Today the little figures were half price so I snapped up a few. My tiny gnomes were placed in a large pot which houses my dracaena for a little indoor fun. I added an intersection flat rock with a fossil I found in my yard and then thought to add an artificial flower sprig. I may add a few other odds and ends as my fairyland grows. I am not sure how well the little figures will hold up after countless waterings and listings and I avoided the cute little buildings with thatch or miss on them for that reason. In the meantime, I will enjoy the color and whimsy these little fairyland miniatures add to my indoor garden.
