My girls take Private Art Classes weekly from an extremely talented artist. Magda is a dear friend and we are so lucky to have her in our lives. She has taught the girls so much about art, all the technical stuff that I have forgotten.
The girls are coming to see Magda for another lesson and it’s our last one this year since we’re leaving for California for the Holidays. We’re going to LA to see my sister and Dick’s family!! When we get to Magda’s house, she has a gift for them.
They are SUPER excited to be getting unexpected presents and immediately start to open their gifts.
Thelma’s face lights up and you can tell she loves her present.
By the way, those black dots on Thelma’s face are home-made freckles that Thelma just felt like having today by using my black eye liner.
Louise now opens hers and she’s equally thrilled at her new gift.
What are your gift girls???
Magda hand crafted these fabulous retro dolls that come with interchangeable outfits and accessories.
In addition to creating beautiful pieces of artwork, Magda is loves to sew. The dolls and their accessories are made of cloth, are stitched along the edges, and attach by velcro.
Sold only via word of mouth, Magda has sold hundreds of these hand-made dolls that come with a carrying-case so the kids won’t lose any of the pieces. They are also painted with an acrylic clear coat so if they get dirty, they wipe right off. Nice!
It’s such a great gift and PERFECT for the girls to bring on our trip!! They are excited beyond belief and won’t let me take their gifts home while they have their lesson. They want it to be within eyesight.
After I pick them up, Magda tells me next time she’ll wait until after class to give them their gifts. They were not as focused as usual since they were excited about their new gifts.
