Catwalk Creation House of Fashion!

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

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.

Inside the box!

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 the
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.

Thanks For Looking!
