Cracked in the Head … Orphaned Vintage Composition Dolls (Pt 3)

  Following on from previous post Pt 2   The little girl, I believe may be a Shirley Temple doll, came with the sort of pinky mismatched clothing, a cotton dress with crocheted jacket & booties.  I haven’t changed the outfit to date as it seems to suit her & I love her as is…

Cracked in the Head … Orphaned Vintage Composition Dolls (Pt 2)

    Following on from Pt 1   The ball joints and string.           In case you’re wondering about the doll on the right, I have simply placed a head’ from another black Americana dolly’ on a white doll body that came without the head.   OK, you think I’m weird.Β …

Cracked in the Head … Orphaned Vintage Composition Dolls (Pt 1)

  Despite this little gal’s worn & somewhat battered face, the chipping & cracking including around her old glass eyes, it’s a sweet face with little rosebud type lips. In fact, the little gal looks like she could be a Shirley Temple doll. Given that I have a few images to share on this topic,…

About Me

… an ordinary woman trapped in a lawya’s body sinning her way β€˜round that cunning ol’ snake, the law & more βš–οΈ and when I’m not court in the act in powdered wig & black gown, when I’m away from the courthouse, the wrangling courts & stubborn law, I live & work at Fat Lawyer Farm a funky little fat & fine farm with fattitude in the fantabulous Barossa Valley 🍷🍷 in South Australia, the mother of all wine country, the dirt mother in fact & where I think I’m going a bit soft in the head ruminating with marsupials, magpies, crows in the vineyard & numerous other creatures great & small of all colours, shapes, sizes, sounds, speeds, temperaments & more …

… and don’t take all of it, all of the time, too seriously πŸ˜‚

*** πŸ””πŸ˜‰βœ”This is my LAST post to @fatlawyerfarm for now. No, Im not stopping posting. Instead, posts normally found here are now at @thelawyalady my main Insta page 😊 A question of time & efficiency really. Gradually I'll move across/re-post what's not already @thelawyalady Enjoy!
Still in the front garden area it's Mum & baby. Yes, baby has squeezed right back into the pouch ... a real toddler pouch baby this one. And that's 'Bigfoot 2' (Dad) in the background, watching over his family ...
Our fast growing baby alpaca is a little girl we have named 'Matilda' xxx @lemongumhill Here you see her with her mum, Ebony, & Allan, her stepfather ....
Feliscatus beauties, Edith & Hatticus, slumbering together ce samedi matin ... spring in πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί
Glorious spring morning here at Angaston🌳🌷🌿🌹
Throwback to last year when we were hanging this, vintage, rustic, black metal chandelier ... a beautiful beast dripping with character.
Late today mother & baby joey @fatlawyerfarm ... Im not sure which mum this is as I have a few on the go here. She's bathing her baby.
In the company of girls today, cats & chooks ... a warm & sunny spring day perfect for faffing around the front veranda area. Many things to do.
