Friday Finds: Wonderful Wizard of Oz Dolls

Wizard of Oz DVDUnfortunately, I did not win it big in Vegas while celebrating my birthday. But thanks to Dorothy and her wonderful friends, I did not lose big, either. After a week of spending about $20 a day in gambling at a variety of stunning casinos, I landed atop a penny slot machine themed around one of my favorite classic movies, the Wizard of Oz (2-Disc 70th Anniversary Edition DVD currently on sale for $9.49 and eligible for free shipping on Amazon.com if any fellow fans are interested). I'd been dazzled by the ruby slippers feature before, but this was the first time I was awarded the free spins bonus round. The Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tinman and Cowardly Lion faces were all lit up as wild cards. I watched in glee as the wins for all the reels added up to $95! Then I clicked my heels and went happily home the next day.

Today I followed the yellow brick road from Etsy to the Emerald City. Look at the amazing sets of Wizard of Oz dolls that skipped along to join me on my journey. Each handmade figurine has such character!

EDIT: Giveaway is officially closed. Congratulations to Rita Szlovencsák for submitting the randomly chosen 57th entry. Perhaps it's the hot weather and the drought in Delaware, but I have been daydreaming about being a mermaid. That's why I gleamed to discover the Etsy Blog's Mermaid Makeup Tutorial when looking through the list of articles where my new giveaway sponsor's products have shimmered. Madison Street Beauty has dozens of magnificent eye shadow colors that could enhance the sexy siren in any creature. One lucky winner will even get to choose five full size eye shadows, as well as a foundation, a setting powder and a blush or bronzer sample for free. Amethyst, an opaque vegan eyeshadow of medium purple, would be my first pick, fins down. Look at those sparkles! If choosing only five colors is too difficult, why not try some natural samples first? The owners, Bridget and Rhys, are currently celebrating their one year Etsyversary and offering an astonish...
