le petit mariage
It seems like just yesterday ...
there were fittings
and visits to the tailor
all in preparation for the very big day.
Lots of bonding: "Anyone got a lint roller?"
Even some flirting
But then the crowd hushed as the music began to play
and the bridesmaids marched softly down the aisle.
A collective GASP as the bride made her appearance.
"I wood"
Perhaps a honeymoon on Block Island?
And they lived happily ever after.
I had this idea to create a wedding party with clothespin dolls. In between keeping my boys busy with activities indoors and out, this is what I have been doing during small stolen moments of February break. Where else but in Blogland could I share a post like this?
I hope you enjoyed this little ceremony.

OMG! That is too, too much! They are ADORABLE!!
When are they going in your shop? I must have a set!
Love the post, btw, you are just so clever and creative!
I did indeed enjoy it! I can just see you, Elyse, branching out into a whole new career. Pulling these lovely little dolls together into some sort of "line" akin to the Cabbage Patch dolls of the eighties!

Oooh I love romantic stories: I just love "I wood" and I would give something to see the sequel "Honeymoon to blockland"! Too cute Elyse!

Elyse, these are just too adorable! You must have a blast making them and making up stories as you go along. Enjoy! Sherry
You are killing me with this! Too, too cute! I love it! You really should market your dolls as cake toppers on Etsy. They're adorable. Love your comments - especially the lint brush and "Block Island" thing - very funny!. :)
Could you be any cuter? I am in love with this idea. Such a pretty wedding party and so well dressed.
What about a honeymoon trip to Hollywood or even Dollywood?

other people spend their time in "La La Land", but you seem to spend your time in "Laundry Land"!!
Clothespin dolls....clip art! lol!
I loved it!
and there were many who agree - you need to find out how to market these!
or copyright them!
place card holders!
wedding toppers!
They are so cute and what a wonderful job you have done on them. Will you be selling them? Keep up the good work/
My goodness, Elyse, this is so sweet! The little roses are perfect. What a beautiful job!! Your photography is wonderful too... a charming little story!
Oh my goodness, how adorable! I just discovered your blog, and have been reading your older posts. I'm going to read your whole blog now!
Have a great weekend!

Hi Elyse, those wooden pins are so so adorable. Too cute and a super idea! I'm used to draw two little eyes and a mouth added with some ribbon around her 'neck' .. You make real artworks!! I LOVE it.
Wishing you a Wonderful Weekend.
