Sometimes I work at Norm's Dollhouse, to help pay for stuff to build my new house. It works out pretty good for me and for them too. I dust the cases, and I can get in to places that would be difficult or tedious for humans to get to. I can also try out all the furniture and get an idea of what I need for my new house. Very nice desk set! The silk plants like being dusted too. It

 Wendy: Oh, hey, Miri. Good morning! Didn't expect... Miranda: What's this? Wendy: Uh... it's instructions for putting together a dollhouse. The "San Franciscan ". Miranda: Oh, that's what I thought. Starting a new dollhouse, huh? Miranda: Well, that's okay, since mine is all done and everything. Oh wait... Miranda: YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED MINE YET! Wendy: But... I haven't done any

I seem to have been spending a lot more time with my sister, Juno, lately. Which is okay. She's nice and all.  Juno inherited this huge apartment building from my evil, and now dead, sister, Ariel. She seems to like having the apartment building, but ever since the Poppy "situation" she's been saying that maybe "on site" management isn't for her. But there wasn't really

So I sulked all day yesterday. I just don't take losing friends very well, I guess. But then, an amazing thing happened. Salome commented on my blog! I guess, since I wouldn't answer my phone (I take sulking very seriously) she set up a Blogger profile and left me a comment! They're coming home! They're coming back to the Wylde Kingdom! And soon, too! I can totally help them

Really sad day for me. Not just that the groundhog saw his shadow, either. Even sadder than 6 more weeks of Winter. I got the phone call this morning. Salome and Gus aren't coming back to the Wylde Kingdom. I am really surprised and sad. Okay, so a lot of pixies are leaving/have left. But... I thought for sure those two would come back. I'm sad that it changes the music school,

I haven't felt much like blogging. I've just been settling into my new house, which is a challenge since there's still a bunch of construction going on. It's worth putting up with some noise, though. and it's great that progress is being made. I finally got a window in my bedroom. And it works! It opens and everything. My house now has the first working windows in the whole Wylde Kingdom!

So, I am going to be a good pixie and stay home while Wendy is in Vegas. She doesn't want to take me, for whatever reason, and that's okay. But it's only okay because... ... I have a new place to stay! Check it out! This is my new room! It's the only mostly finished room in my new house so far, but it's WONDERFUL!

Big changes are happening here, in the Wylde Kingdom. I'm not sure how I feel about them all yet. The Creepy Sisters' house is for sale. I have no idea where the Sisters are. If they're even still in the Kingdom. Lots of pixies are moving out. Lots of changes, but change is good, right? That's what they say. It's weird to be here, knowing the house is empty. It isn't quite as

Yesterday was busy and full of meetings. I finally got the opportunity to meet with Mr. Thorne, resident smart guy (he's known for his wisdom, but "resident wise guy" just didn't sound right.) He's also an amazing harp player. He's agreed to come be the harp teacher at my music school! I'm so excited. Now I've lined up a violin teacher (Devika) two piano teachers (me and Salome, who I

I went to work with Wendy yesterday. I figured it would give her the opportunity to see that I can be a well behaved pixie (that she should take to Vegas with her) and give me the opportunity to remind her that she should take me with her on trips, like to Vegas. I wasn't trying to be sneaky or anything, but I tried to just be wherever she was going to be (to show I wouldn't get lost) and

I'm writing this from home. Just so you know. I made it. I'm alive. Barely, though. And I'm in big trouble. As the afternoon wore on, I kept thinking someone would come looking for me. But no one did. I saw Phoebe leaving the house for her shift at C&M. I tried to call her, but she didn't hear me. So I guess at least I know it'll be quiet up here in my bedroom. If no one down

When we last left Miranda, she was wandering around the construction site of her new home... This is kind of a pretty door. This is going to be so cool when it's all done. Second story balcony, over the porch. Nice! No railing, though, so I'm staying in here. Safety first, right? Off to the 3rd floor. Hmm... these stairs are kind of wobbly. Not too bad, though. I can make it. *

(Part 2 is here - Construction Site Wandering Part 2) Wendy won't let me see the house right now, because she says it's a construction site and it's dangerous. And, ya know, I don't actually have a hard hat. But it can't be THAT dangerous. She works here all the time and she hasn't broken anything. So I am checking things out on my own, while she's at work. I figure, it's always easier to ask

 I discovered last night that C&M has a great view of my house being built and I have a porch! I don't know for sure when that happened. But it's lovely! So now I can't stop looking out the windows of C&M at my someday house. She's done a lot of work on it. It'll be done in no time! I can't wait to see it. Wendy won't let me go over there yet. Something about it being a "hard hat

Ever have one of those dreams that you think means something? I just did. It started with my bunny, Bean waking me up. She opened the apartment door and said "Hey, let's go! You're going to be late." And in the dream, it didn't seem weird at all that my pet bunny was talking to me. So I did the only sensible thing. I followed her. We got outside, and suddenly Bean had turned into a

I've been hanging out with Wendy at the doll store to plan our trip to Vegas and just get out of the house a bit.  But I also wanted to stop by Norm's Dollhouse to get some supplies for my very cool house.  I knew we needed more paint. And more paint means you probably need more brushes. I wandered around, daydreaming about when I would be moving in and would need new furniture.

Finally over my cold and feeling much better. Though, I imagine this will be my last post for 2011. As years go, it's had its ups and downs. Can't say I'm sorry to see the backside of it. Here's hoping 2012 will be awesome (even if the world is supposed to end in December. Whatever.) Anyway, there's finally some progress being made on my new house. It's slowly coming along.

These are the last of Madera's photos of Wightwick Manor, the incredible dollhouse mansion, located at Norm's Dollhouse in Centennial Colorado. We had our company Christmas party there, and Madera stayed late to take pictures of the house after dark. It's even MORE gorgeous at night. Who knew? I love this house so much. I'm hoping to have a Valentine's Day party there in February. Any excuse to

For Christmas this year, the wonderful people I work for at DDE gave me a doll. Not just any doll, she's a Masterpiece "Faith" by Monika Peter-Leicht, and she's amazing. I saw her online about a month ago, and she's been haunting me ever since. I thought I would bring her home in January, but they got her for me as a surprise Christmas gift. I am blown away, both by the fact that they

Hey, So I have to apologize for the last few blog entries. They've just been pictures and it's 'cause I haven't been feeling very well. I've had some kind of cold ever since the party. I'm hopeful it'll go away by Christmas, but I'm also fine with just laying in bed for the Merry holiday. Bleah. I've been spending a lot of my time lately sucking up tea with Madera in the middle of the night

This is really just a post of pictures. The next one will be too. But they're really, really awesome pictures. Madera stayed after our awesome Christmas party and took pictures of the Manor in the dark. She said it was an amazing experience and I think her photos are gorgeous. So here are the first few.

C&M was honored to get to have our 1st annual employee family & friends Christmas Party at the incredible Wightwick Manor mansion, located at Norm's Dollhouse, in Centennial Colorado. I met the caretaker of Wightwick Manor, Lynn, to open the place up and see what there was to see. He told me they'd spiffed the place up a little, and even decorated a bit for us. He wasn't kidding.

This isn't much of an update, but it's all I've got. It's been busy! Yesterday morning, I woke up to quite a surprise. After hanging around at 99 "likes" on Facebook for a few months, suddenly we finally hit 100! I had prizes in mind for just this occasion, I just hadn't gotten them yet, since I figured there was no way 100 people would ever "like" my little coffee shop's page. Especially 100

So I found out who lives in my old house now.  They're customers at C&M Books and Coffee. They're in a lot, actually.  I've talked to them about their new home before, without realizing it was my house they were talking about.  Their names are Sally and Marshall. They're first time home owners and so very, very happy about it. Nauseatingly so. Wallace (or as I like to think of

Something I didn't tell you is that I moved, but not into that big house I inherited from my rotten sister. Oh no, not there. My bunny, Bean, and I moved into Poppy's old apartment, and I'm lucky to have it. See, when I inherited the house, Ariel's partner/executor, Wallace, told me he didn't figure I'd need two houses, so he'd be happy to buy my old house. He paid me a lot for it. Which

So, some of you may have already heard that a lot of the pixies from the Wylde Kingdom have gone.  It's really not a bad thing. I think it's awesome, personally. I've been saying there were too many pixies here forever. It's about time someone listened to me. For a while we needed to maintain radio silence, if you will, so They wouldn't notice us here. So no blog entries for a

Batpig and Wonder Woman walk into a coffee shop. No, it isn't the beginning of a joke. It just happened! 'Tis the season, here in the Wylde Kingdom. We love Halloween. Well, we love human Halloween. Its meaning for the Fae is a little different and darker. So we really get into the human version of it which is all fun, costumes and candy. Dusted off my old Halloween costume, and it

Apparently nature really DOES abhor a vacuum. With Ariel gone, I guess it decided I needed a new pain in my neck. And so... this is Poppy. She's apparently some kind of pixie real estate agent. She must be busy because she's on her phone ALL THE TIME. Yak, yak, yak, yak, YAK! She has the most obnoxious laugh I have ever heard, and she clearly thinks she is REALLY cute. She's wrong.

Before all this Halloween decorating stuff started, I had just found out my sister, Ariel, had died and left us all an inheritance. I don't want anything from Ariel. I never did. But I agreed to meet with Wallace, her executor, just so he could finish up loose ends. No reason to cause him trouble just because I didn't get along with my sister. We met at C&M Books and Coffee this morning.

So, I realized there was something I forgot to tell you about yesterday. Something that happened while we were decorating. See, there are all these rumors about a ghost in Wightwick Manor. Not just a ghost, but one apparently recently traumatized by something. Even Chip, our visitor from New Mexico, thought he'd heard someone crying on the stairs when we toured, but I didn't see anyone there.

The Pixie Friends of Wightwick Manor are doing another event. We're doing a big Halloween party for pixies, once again at the Manor at Norm's Dollhouse, in Centennial, and it should have an even bigger turnout than the 4th of July Picnic did!We all hung out at DDE with Wendy and Cybelle while waiting to head over to Norm's Dollhouse after work. Phoebe told us all naughty jokes for most of the day

Kind of a nifty Saturday.I spent most of my morning with Wendy at Norm's Dollhouse helping her photograph Christmas stuff to put on their webpage. She's helping with their webpage, and I needed to go to the dollhouse shop anyway.I had a meeting scheduled with Lynn, caretaker of Wightwick Manor. He's a really nice guy, and he's been super supportive of all the events the Pixie Friends of

I think most people have someone who's influenced their life in a big, BIG way, even though they've never actually MET that person.I do, anyway.In my life, that person is named Fee. And today, I got to meet her.We were meeting up at Denver Doll Emporium since Fee and her person were in town for something and always stop there. Well, of course, what doll would visit Colorado and NOT go for a

I don't like being the last to know things. Anything. Especially not important things. So when I started hearing rumors that my brother, Sebastian, was no longer being kept in the Creepy Sister's attic and was having a potion shop built using some inheritance he'd gotten I was a bit vexed.Inheritance? Really? No one told ME anything about an inheritance.I caught up with Sebastian and Eris (one of

Chips last few days with us weren't crazy exciting or anything, but I think he still had a nice time.He did some book shopping at C&MAnd he found a book to take on his flight home, so he didn't get bored.He spent most evenings at C&M with Tabby while she was working her shift. So I think he drank a lot of cocoa while he was here. They seemed to get along really well.He beat everyone at Operation

I took my baby bunny to stay at Devika's house, and we left Tabby behind because she doesn't like driving (she gets motion sick). Chip and I were off to the hills for some 4 wheel driving!We went up behind Central City, and there are a TON of trails up there. We had all kinds of places to explore!I didn't splash him in the water, 'cause Chip is kind of absorbent.We drove up a pretty rough trail,

The next day (Sunday, following the meetup) found the three of us at the Fall Show for the Denver Museum of Miniatures, Dolls and Toys.Norm's Dollhouse had a table there, and some friends were working there. So we started there and tried to figure out what to see first.And WOW was there a lot to see.First, we just hung around the Norm's table.Tabby discovered a hat display and started playing.We

So, this doll collecting thing seems to have taken the Wylde Bunch by storm. Everyone either has a doll that they just never took out, or ran out and got one. So maybe we needed a doll club. Who knew?Roo had to work at the coffee shop on Saturday, but she asked us to take Boxwood, her toy bunny, with us to the park. Sadie, Roo's best friend, offered to take care of him.All of the dolls in

Well, today was an adventure, but not the way I'd planned.I scored a private tour of Wightwick Manor for Tabby, Chip and myself.Tabby had never seen Wightwick Manor before, and Chip had only ever seen the pictures on the blog and on the Norm's Facebook page.They were pretty excited about getting to see the place. Especially just the three of us. It is an amazing thing to get to hang out here.

Chip decided one of the places he would like to see on his visit to Colorado was Denver Doll Emporium, since he'd heard so much about it. But first, a quick trip to C&M Books and Coffee.Tabby, who is the official teddy bear guardian for Chip's visit with the Wylde Bunch, said she needed to get some coffee before starting their adventures.But really, C&M had a little surprise for Chip: a mug with

The Wylde Bunch have a guest for the next week. His name is Chip, and he's a Teddy Bear from New Mexico.He arrived this evening and will be staying at Devika's house (she's got the most room, and also an extra bed.Chip had a long layover because of the holiday, so he was a little tired from his trip. Tonight was about settling in and meeting the pixies he'd be staying with. And having some

Last Sunday (August 28th) a movie crew visited Norm's Dollhouse to do some filming with the big dollhouse, Wightwick Manor, and around the store. They were a great crew, and the store was happy to have hosted them. But not everyone was so pleased to have them there... What's that...? This mess... this isn't right.... Voices... someone's here... People!!! Oh! Many people! Lights!

About three months ago, C&M Books and Coffee had a drawing for an amazing Harley Haug adventure tour trip. We took the winners to Wightwich Manor, the incredible dollhouse located in Centennial, Colorado at Norm's Dollhouse. Weird things happened which you can read about here - Wightwick Manor I and here Wightwick Manor II if you like. We took along professional photographer, Madera, who took

Hey, so here's a quick update of some exciting things (exciting to me, anyway). The shop finally got in our custom C&M mugs for pixies. We ordered them through Norm's Dollhouse, who (as always) are awesome. For you human types, we finally got our Cafe Press shop fixed up, and you can find mugs and all kinds of C&M things there - C&M Books and Coffee Stuff on Cafe Press. It's a great way to

Just a few quick shots from the doll meetup at C&M Books and Coffee this morning. Amelia and Birdie came just to say "hi" and check out the dolls. My sister, Juno, showed up. I didn't even know she liked dolls. The C&M Saturday morning staff behind the counter are Ophelia (left) and Phoebe (right) and Sadie was there for the meetup. One backlit doll photo.

Devika is one of my best friends in the world. And I totally spaced her birthday this year. Yeah, I'm a schmuck. So having realized I forgot it, I was scrambling to find the perfect present, fast. Ended up at Norm's Dollhouse which is where I go for most things pixie sized, and they did not let me down. They'd just gotten in a new shipment of dolls. Doll dolls. Well dolls for dolls. They're

It has been pointed out to me that I was supposed to do a blog about our camping trip a couple weeks ago, and I haven't. I guess I just don't think there's a lot to tell. But for you whiners interested parties out there, here's a blog entry about it.We crossed the divide at Boreas pass on a pretty morning. Me and my buddy, Harley Haug, planning on camping in the mountains.See the dark clouds

C&M Books and Coffee is open 24/7 now. Even on holidays! It's been great, because it turns out we've got a lot more nocturnal pixies than I ever imagined.Even at 11 p.m. the shop has customers in it.Thursday nights are "tarot reading" nights with Freya. Here she is reading cards for the lovely Ms. Tawny Lyon.Tawny seems fascinated to hear about her future. I hope it was all good.Felix has been a

Quick update. I have a cold. I'm grumpy. And I can't sleep. So here you go.I'm building a dollhouse for my house. It's pretty cool.Started on it a couple of weeks ago.And I think it's coming together very nicely. I have more painting to do if this cold ever goes away. Bleah. I hate being sick.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I said the next one would be about camping. So sue me. The NEXT one will be. Probably.So, I've been thinking about dollhouses. Not like the one I live in, but like to play with, like a bunch of you have.I went to Norm's Dollhouse in Centennial, Colorado to check out their kits for my size doll houses.They had a bunch. Some with furniture even.I liked the rustic look of the

Somehow, I've ended up being the organizer of Pixie Friends of Wightwick Manor. We're a little organization that thinks more pixies should see this incredible piece of pixie architecture, and really just get out more (most pixie dolls just don't get out enough).Madera and I met up at the coffee shop to head over to the Manor. She's been invited back to take pictures for Pixie Art and Architecture

But it turns out Sundays are kind of mellow, so I had a chance to post here.I think Sundays are going to be when I can get all the new books processed into inventory.

Pixies just lined up, waiting to get in!Apparently word got out that there would be free pizza, and Taelyn and C.J. had been camping out in front of the coffee shop all day.

So, it was brought to my attention that there was another book and coffee place just up the street, and that they were open for 24 hours! Competition! Already! So I had to go scout them out. Place called Fireside Books and Coffee, in Englewood, Colorado.Nice enough looking place.I played it cool, not letting on that I was there as a fellow coffee shop/book store owner.

There's a meeting at C&M Coffee and Books tonight.Walking in, I noticed that Devika had gotten her sign up for her book group. That'll be fun. Maybe I'll join.Miranda, Clara, Beatrice and Lon (Clara's brother) were all having a meeting about the shop.Lon has been put in charge of putting all the signage up in the windows, so he needed to know what everyone wanted the signs to say.Miranda was

The girls have been so busy setting up the coffee shop, there hasn't been time to do a real blog entry. So these are just some photos of the crew getting C&M Coffee and Books set up.Roo organizing the paperback books upstairs.Beatrice is a little shy, so it was hard to get a good picture of her helping get the coffee shop shelves ready for yummies.Sadie helping to unpack and sort books.Clara

Clara: Well... I guess it's bedtime.Clara: But I'm not really sleepy.Clara: Maybe just a walk. Yeah, a quick walk just around the block. Yeah!Clara: Yep, just around the block a bit. Hey, while I'm wandering past the shop I could...Clara: My shop!!! All the lights are on!Clara: Whoever broke in might still be inside. Who breaks into a shop that's not even open yet?

Easter morning, the girls woke up to Easter baskets put together for them by Tempest's aunt, Cybelle.Tempest seemed quite pleased with hers.Lenore seemed pretty happy with hers too.Quick Easter morning portrait with Aunt Cybelle.While portrating, Tornado (one of Cybelle's cats) seemed to take an interest in Lenore's basket... or maybe it was just the chenille chick in it.It was too cold for

Lenore and Tempest didn't get a chance to meet the first day Tempest joined the household. So I took them both to work with me, so they could hang out there.The car ride was quiet at first. They just didn't seem quite sure of what to make of each other. We rode in silence until a song they both liked came on the iPod. Finding that they were both quietly singing along seemed to break the ice a

New dolls don't join the Wylde Bunch very often. I'm very settled with my little family just as it is, and have been spending more time moving dolls out than in. It would take a pretty special dolly to make me want to bring someone new home. Someone special, like Tempest. Tempest is Cybelle's niece. She's about the same age as Lenore, and I'm told that Tempest is as badly in need of a

I have been really terrible about updating this blog. Sorry about that. My camera died a horrible death and I thought that hand drawn sketches of the dolls wouldn't be very interesting ("No really, this stick figure is Devika!") so no updates for a while. But I have access to a camera again, and things are (as always) shifting and changing here with the Wylde Bunch. Until I can give you a

Hi everyone!So last time I told you a little bit about my vanishing flower problem. Every time I put cut flowers anywhere in my house, they were vanishing.Well, it's still happening.The girls all say they don't know anything about it.Even the flowers I put in their room, which I thought were so beautiful.Somehow vanished during the day.And at night, when I asked about it.No one knew anything.

Hello, Everyone!I'm just having a bit of chamomile tea before bed. It's been an exciting weekend and I'm a little worn out. I got to go to an early Thanksgiving party! Yesterday, Wendy, Lenore and our newest resident, a boy named "Wolf", were all invited to an early Thanksgiving dinner at Reddiker Woodes. Ahma asked if I would go along, so there would be a responsible adult along, to watch over

Tonight I went to Mr. Will's birthday party.I met some very nice stuffies. Like Mr. Monte and Mr. Roger.While I was having my picture taken with them, an owl named Onwyn came up behind me.And ate my head.Apparently it's how they say "hello" wherever he's from. He didn't mean any harm. But it was still kind of disgusting. His breath smelled like birthday cake and mice. Yuck.I guess I yelled or

Hello, Blog Friends!So Miranda moved. I told you about that already.OH! But, speaking of moving, I have to tell you about Gus and Salome!So, They met about a year and half ago, at Clara's Coffee Shoppe, where Gus works. And they fell in love right at first sight. They started dating, and became completely inseparable.Last Christmas Eve, Gus took Salome to the "Winter Wonderland" set up next to

Lenore informed me that we have to go to DDE to go shopping today.You see, tomorrow is the COBJD meetup at the zoo, and I'll be bringing her along with me.So she says that today we have got to go shopping.Immediately.Urgently.Because she has absolutely nothing to wear to the meetup.*facepalm*

I don't even know where to begin.Clara's has Wifi, and Miranda pointed out to me that it is GREAT for doing blog entries. I love just hanging out at the coffee shop.OH! Clara's! There's an update!

Today I met a wombat.Miss Wendy used to travel with a rabbit named Gage. He was a very nice rabbit, and I really enjoyed traveling with him, but he retired and doesn't want to travel anymore. And now Miss Wendy has a wombat that she travels with. His name is Will.Mister Will seems very nice. He's going to movie night with me at Miss Wyntormoon's house this Saturday. But first, he went to the

Two years ago, a battle was lost. The casualties were great, and friends were lost to the darkness of inertia. Some of the dolls here gather to mark the date, and to remember their lost friends, because that which is remembered, lives.But, while we mourn the loss, we do not dwell on it.Things are better, there are no more battles, and the world of the dolls and stuffies is peaceful and happy.

I'm trying to sell some stuff on Ebay. Clothes no one wears. Dolls that need new homes. That kind of thing.So, even though I can't bear to part with Cecilia, my Elfdoll Alice, I can totally part with her outfit. Or so I thought.Her default outfit is way cute. But no one here wears it.Cecilia was willing to model it for me, but she really, REALLY doesn't like it (especially the "stupid hat" which

Miss Wendy and I went to "movie night" at Miss Penni's house last night.There were a bunch of other dolls there. He had horns.And she had horns too.Which made me glad that I'd worn my jacket with the horns on the hood. I would've hated to feel out of place.We didn't really hit it off.The guy with horns was standing around, and he has hooves too. They just looked so strange, before I realized it,
