Newest Enchanted Production DOll by Joyce Stahl Listed on eBay!

This has to be my favorite photo shoot ever! As many of you know, and some may not, I take the pics for Joyce's dolls that we list on eBay under my shoppe ID Villagegiftshoppe. Joyce makes the dolls and writes up the descriptions.....and I take their pics and list her auctions and add the music to go along with her dolls. Mortimer has a very special song to go along with his auction that Joyce found. It's Always Look on the Bright Side of Life by Monty Python and it fits Mortimer perfectly as he is known as The Whistling Mortician.....*giggle*

Well, this past weekend we took her latest doll, Mortimer the Mortician, to the 4th St. cemetery in New Philadelphia, OH for a photo shoot. What better backdrops for a man of his profession?


We found this amazing monument with THE MOST gorgeous wreath of calla lilies and the hand in the center with the finger pointing up towards the heavens! Only problem was, Joyce is short and this monument was not.....LOL So she was stretched up on her tippy toes and doing her best impression of the Statue of Liberty so that I could get Mortimer and the wreath in the same shot! (Way to stretch JoycEE!)


This is one of the doors that was on one of the tiny mausoleums. It had a rusty grate covering the entrance but the door was open and you could see inside. It was so sad that the little windows had been boarded up where there were probably once little stained glass windows. I still don't understand how someone can vandalize a cemetery or gravestones? *sigh*


This little plot was surrounded by the most awesome rusty wrought iron fencing! The perfect backdrop for little Mortimer!


And here he is in front of the little house that we imagine the groundskeeper to this cemetery once lived in. We could see in the windows to the two small downstairs rooms where one had a fireplace.


It even had a steeple! We just loved the vintage architecture!


And this was the first stone that we happened to see as the perfect place to take Mortimer's first picture! And the way the shadows were cast in the background was perfect!


And for this amazing pic, we would like to thank our friend Sandy for doing her magic! We sent her this picture of the most amazing victorian hearse which ws taken by Spike Bakker and she inserted Mortimer into the pic. We were hoping to get his pic taken with one owned by a local funeral home but the funeral director "got busy" this weekend and we were unable to do it. SO......it ws Sam to the rescue!!! Thank you so much......you're THE BEST!!

Newest Enchanted Production Doll on eBay............

With one foot firmly planted in Halloween and giving a wink and nod to those who appreciate the performing arts….may I present Aunt Ophelia Ravenson!

Aunt Ophelia has always had opera in her blood and her exhilarating performances have mesmerized audiences (both living and undead) far and wide!

This opera season, Aunt Ophelia (our Village Diva) will be returning from her world cemetery tour…to take center stage at the Village Opera House, where audiences will be treated to a program of popular and haunting arias. Don’t miss her stirring rendition of La Bat du Dracula, the aria famous for boasting nine high Cs. (Drinking glasses throughout the Village will surely be shattering this season)

Aunt Ophelia is also ready to take the center stage in your home and “Wow” your Halloween guests this year! Don’t let them get too close to this Diva though….she’s been known to nip at times!

Just click on her picture above to go to her eBay auction! =o)

Congratulations JoycEE!

I want to congratulate my best friend Joyce Stahl of Enchanted Productions on her article in the current issue of Art Doll Quarterly! Joyce submitted 4 dolls for the fall 2009 issue and they used all 4 of her dolls!!

As you all may well know, I list Joyce's dolls for her on eBay. She creates, I take their pics, she writes their auction descriptions and I set up their auctions and add the music that goes with them.

It was 3 years ago that Joyce walked into our shoppe with her dolls and their was one that as soon as I saw it, I said, "Joyce, this doll needs to go on eBay......." and the rest is history! =D

Now she can finally say that she's published......and in what is known as "The Most Elite" of all the Doll Magazines out there! It's been a long road Joycee, but well worth every mile! I'm so proud of you and happy for you!!

Below is the photo shoot of her 4 dolls that we took at the shoppe the day before they were all shipped off to California. We were even able to keep track of their journey across the states, thanks to the USPS online Track and Confirm feature!

Make sure you pic up your copy of the Fall Issue of ADQ with Featured Artist Scott Smith's amazing pirate cat doll on the front cover............



We will have this issue available at Village Gift Shoppe and I'll see if I can bribe Joycee to autograph them too! ;o)
