Up Your Alley - Party in the street!

Here is a troll that my grandmother gave 2 me. She did not give me a troll in a harness. I put the troll in the leather harness. So I could put it in the only 2 street parties that come twice a year. The grandma that gave me this troll was not happy that I liked them, but she wanted me 2 be happy. So she gave me one. And I love her for that. She was one AMAZING woman!!

It's Bastille Day!

Close-up preview

Here's my friend Lizzi and a close up view of the troll she made a wonderful French outfit for for Bastille Day. Look for the window any day now!

It's Pink!!

Happy Independence Day!

Oh Yeah!

I've been Googled

As a reader points out, a recent Troll Window has been captured in Google Street View! (Thanks, Steve, for letting me know).

Rub a dub in the shower!

Happy Memorial Day

Flashback to Christmas

I wasn't going to do any photos from before the troll window went online, but Christmas was really fun this year. So here you go.

It's Valentines with the kids and how cute!

My big sis turned 41 (Don't tell her I told you)

I turned XX. Just don't give me anything.

Happy New Year 2007

Alfie's window, now visible worldwide

For the past 16-17 years, passersby the corner of 18th and Valencia who bother to look up (on 18th, east of Valencia, north side of the street) have enjoyed the festive windows Alfie creates to celebrate the season, current events, holidays, and the birthdays of friends and family. If you can't stop by in person, you can now stop by online!
