Long time no see. I've missed you.
We have been busy at the Weathertop homestead, working, working, working, but we miss sharing our adventures wth you and hope to start again very soon, perhaps on a more modest basis.
And on that note, we have a simple offering to share with you this very day.
Our girls have found that funds are getting tighter and tighter at Weathertop, and so, in an effort to help out and make a little money of their own, they have decided, like many others out here in rural New York, to raise chickens.
Caring for the chickens keeps them very busy. They must feed and water them, not to mention clean up after them. And of course it goes without saying, they need to give them plenty of love.
We have quite a brood here at Weathertop, and we need to thin the ranks just a tiny bit and so we are looking for new homes for three of our hens (lucky for you, there is a pretty hen keeping dress and a basket of eggs that come with them).
Of the dresses we have available, you have a choice. We have two pink egg dresses to offer you today. They are made in the pinafore style out of 100% cotton quilting fabric with a bright pink underdress and inserted panel at the hem. Scampering across the skirt is a brood of colorful chickens hunting for their eggs.
Hitty Dauphine is pleased to model the first dress.
Sweet Alice models the second dress.
If you like one of these dresses better than the other, please specify the dress by naming the doll.
Hitty Too is modelling the third dress in this collection, the chicken dress. It is made from 100% cotton quilting fabric and features a coordinating teal blue underdress and inserted panel at the hem to go with the hen on her bodice.
As I mentioned before, each of these dresses comes with a hen and a basket of farm fresh eggs.
These dresses come fastened in the back with a brass safety pin, but I will be glad to install snaps for a small fee, please be sure to ask about this option before payment.
If you are interested in purchasing of these dresses, please act fast. I have only these three and no fabric to make more. You can email me at [email protected] for more details.
Thanks for dropping by today. I have a selection of flannel frocks that will be available very soon so please check back. To see other available Weathertop Dresses, please check the Weathertop Merchantile found at the top right hand corner of my blog.
So what do you think came first? The chicken or the egg?
We've missed Weathertop, too, and can empathize on the economic issues! Welcome back.

Adorable!!! what more is there to say?!! I find your little frocks have a 'personality' to them. How on Earth do you do that?
