As for monkeys--my husband-like person found Gordy the Gorilla (probably in a dumpster) and although I was slightly horrified at first (like wondering where I would put him and would I have to start collecting monkeys next), I became very fond of him and so did Lulu. Mostly he sits quietly in the background. I also have a small beany baby type monkey, which I got after I discovered the House of the Orange Monkey http://www.houseoftheorangemonkey.co.uk/ and I have a very small sock monkey that the 18 inchers like. So no, I only have a few monkeys and I don't PLAN to get any more!<br /><br />Looking forward to reading about your My Twinn doll.AudraBark1https://www.blogger.com/profile/07952898681777147816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2805494978431582448.post-88587924757151423562013-07-11T20:24:40.917-07:002013-07-11T20:24:40.917-07:00Hi, Audra.

I've seen one big black gorilla helping Lulu care for Cedric (who is really awesome!), but I don't recall any others. I spent my entire childhood wanting a sock monkey, and back in those days, you had to know someone who made them...and I didn't. The Daisy dolly went inside the craft store with us to buy her crocs. We definitely drew a lot of attention which made me feel kind of shy, but Spunk loved it! I received a My Twinn doll today that I ordered from ebay. I'll blog on her next. She had quite a time getting here! =)Raine Crowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15102820037093238746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2805494978431582448.post-15387172616757559672013-07-10T12:33:04.282-07:002013-07-10T12:33:04.282-07:00I like the sound of your family, Raine.

I have always wanted to have dogs AND cats, but unfortunately our dogs like cats for all the wrong reasons.<br /><br />I used to have a couple of Daisy Kingdom dolls but then when I was downsizing I gave them to a friend--and of course now I wish I hadn't. I had a Madame Alexander 18 incher but decided she didn't fit in with the other girls (and I was running out of room!) <br /><br />Sir Charles is wonderful! You can't go wrong with a sock monkey. Or any monkey, for that matter. Molly, of course, is great. Did you find her at a thrift store? Is Miracle Mart a thrift store? Maybe you and Spunk will find an AG horsie at a thrift store, like I did.<br /><br />The dresses you made are all really nice. I would never have thought of putting crocs on a Daisy Kingdom doll, but they are perfect!AudraBark1https://www.blogger.com/profile/07952898681777147816noreply@blogger.com
