Hey Gang!
I want to tell you about a purchases that I made in 2014 but did not
post them. I will still tell about new stuff but I need to finish the old.
When I saw this item in the store I went right by it the first time reaching for
post them. I will still tell about new stuff but I need to finish the old.
When I saw this item in the store I went right by it the first time reaching for
something else. It was laying flat so you really didn't notice it. As I pulled it
out to get what I thought I wanted, I took a look at it. Hmmm, I haven't seen
this before. It is a store! What is the scale? Yes, Ms. Leo opened it in the store.
I don't have time to get something home and bring it back. I need to know now.
It was a pretty good size. Okay, what do they want for it... $15.00.
Not to bad! I knew that I need to start Laurent's and didn't know how
I was going to do it. This kinda fit the bill!
It is a Crayola Catwalk Creations. This was never in the doll section or I would
have notice it sooner. It shows the front of a store.

What did it come with are you asking? Well here it is!
The set comes with 2 mannequins, 1 clothes rack with 5 hangers, 15 mini
clothes pegs, a fashion boutique complete with 1 summer and 1 winter
backdrop, 2 signs, 12 fabrics, 4 ribbons, 2 stick on gem sheets, 2 rolls of
double-sided tape(you cant bet that) and a sketch book full of templates
and printed mannequins to draw your designs on. WOW! Where have they
been hiding you! I have a Liv doll window like MSJ"s Doll Pit (mine is
out of the box so not good for pictures) but it is not like this! So I purchased it!

I had looked at a couple of other peoples store to get a feel for what I
wanted to do. If you are not familiar with Shillman's of Flickr you are in
for a treat! He has created his own department store universe on flickr.
I have also love these photos done by Ro of Roville for years too! I do miss
her older posts and Pink Day! I wish we could still see those photo stories.
We can't forget this post from City Circlez either! So can I get to theher older posts and Pink Day! I wish we could still see those photo stories.
level of these, I don't think so but you must have a dream!
When I set it up, I saw it was a tad smaller that what I wanted. My many view of
My Froggy Stuff videos has taught me just what to do! Add cardboard!
I took a cardboard tray for sodas and covered it with brick from My Froggy Stuff
blog! I have printed myself several copies so that I could have if for future projects.
The soda box gave me just the right height so that I could have Aya and other dolls
look in the store.
Aya's boots make her kinda tall. Raising the store worked well. I have had these
benches for a while. I hadn't use them for a while so it was time to get them out.
I have one up for sale on the dollpage too! The trash can is from the Dollar Store.
I used scrap book paper for the floors in the storewindow. With the printable
rug that I gave out at out first doll clulb meeting. I have had a store idea in my mind
for some time and have been collecting items for it for a couple of years. Having
the store will give me a chance, I hope, to use them! Here is a peek from the top!
I have collected enough mannequins to witch out mannequins this post. I liked
the color better of this for pictures of
I had this brick contact paper I used for the sidewalk. I really wish I had
purchased more because I can't find it anymore.
When I looked up the item on the web, I found that they made a few items
like this! Here are some images off the web. I hope to do some more store posts
soon.

Nice find - and nice additions to it!
I really like those window mannequins - I can imagine some great setups you could do with those.
Great find, I look forward to the opening of the shop :-)
Thanks for sharing this Crayola set!
I have never seen this set before. Very nice! I have seen Shillman's flickr pics and OMG is all that I can say. I agree all of the ones that you mentioned are fabulous!
I recently purchased more of the brick scrapbooking paper at Joann's Fabric Store. I had not seen it for a couple of years and all of a sudden there it was. I purchased several sheets of it. I hope you are able to find some. If not, let me know I can go back to see if they have more.
Your store has very elegant fixtures. Can't wait to see it stocked :-).
Love your new storefront. Thanks for the links to all the other storefronts. They are all nice. Shillmans are phenomenal. Looking forward to seeing your progress.
You know, now that I am looking at this I think I saw it new in the thrift store, but didn't realize what it could be used for. You did a great job setting it up!
Crayola isn't a word I associate with fashion, but it's a pretty cool set. Looks a bit like those Harumika sets. I love how you built a whole diorama around it!
Thanks for your comments jSarie, Night Owl, Georgia Girl, D7ana, limbe dolls, Vanessa, The grandmommy and Anderson's AllPurpose!
jSarie, I think the mannequin are My Scene. The stuff they did for that line was so much better than Mattel.
Night Owl and limbe dolls, I am try to find a space to set it up the way I want to take pictures for a least a couple of posts.
Georgia Girl and Vanessa, Yeah Shillmans is the bomb! Georgia Girl what I am really looking for is the brick contact paper I used for the sidewalk! If you see that, please let me know!
D7ana, The grandmommy and Anderson's AllPurpose, This is a different item for Crayola! If I hadn't be trying to get to something in front of it, I would have kept on walking. It will fool you if you didn't look closely. It does look like an item that Harumika would do.
