Bon Voyage Jill

Starting at 7:30 EDT tonight I have a vintage Vogue Jill doll going up for sale on ebay. I have owned this doll for about 60 years, but better to have her go to someone who would enjoy her rather than sitting in a drawer. Someday I will downsize unless I get upsized to heaven first; if something were to happen to me, my husband would have no idea how to describe the doll for selling purposes. 
I will be at church at 7 p.m. for our church's Christmas choir practice. Usually, not much action until late in an auction anyway. That does mean next Sunday when it ends I will miss viewing any activity.
I plan to sell my two Vogue Ginny dolls as well, but they will take more work to photograph since they have lots of clothes and accessories. 

Yesterday I went to a craft sale; I bought some jewelry for my Operation Christmas Child box. I am almost done buying items. There is another craft show next Saturday so I will look for small items I might add to what I already have, plus I want to buy a small towel. 

Yesterday afternoon I pulled up all of my moss roses plants, cut the speedwell (Veronica) down to about 4 inches high, cut what was left of the Asian lilies down to nubbins, pulled up the lambsquarters weeds and other miscellaneous weeds. It was in the 60's. We will cool down mid-week, and then it will be unpleasantly cool to work outside. My flower plot is ready for winter now.

I have had the electric blanket on low for several weeks. Tonight I might not turn it on as the night will stay warm until rain and a cold front go thru tomorrow. We did have a string of cold nights (30's), and the fall foliage is finally appearing. Seems like it is a few weeks later this year than last year. I love autumn in the Midwest.
