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!

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.
