A CUPBOARD FULL OF JOY

I have been looking to get a glass fronted cupboard to keep my other non Sasha dolls in and also my course dolls( in order to keep the dust off them ) and to try and get some order in the madness that is my doll addiction!

Every time I saw a possible cupboard, there would be something that crossed it off the list! too small, too big, too expensive or non movable shelves etc.

I saw the perfect cupboard tall, not to wide , one single glass door but also glass side panels and glass shelves all in a beautiful oak frame, slightly expensive but worth the cost, so I asked the only thing that could stop a purchase.. were the shelves adjustable? back came the answer NO! so another one one bit the dust.

Then on the Sunday before Christmas I came across a pretty painted cupboard with glass doors with lovely fabric internal curtains. It looked lovely, was a reasonable price, I just needed to ask about the shelves.... back came the answer YES they could be adjusted. It was not as tall as I'd hoped to find but it would be perfect until I could find a bigger one and then be used for something else.

The seller was very helpful and delivery was arranged for the following Tuesday before Christmas, it arrived around ten on the day, we'd already decided it would be easier to rearrange the bedroom furniture to fit it in rather than the lounge.

Here it is in the bedroom, at this point we'd already removed the curtains, I want to see the dolls after all and also removed a shelf and adjusted the other.

Soon the dolls were fighting for space! on the lower shelf.

The girls at the top have much more space due to the two course girls, min you not for long as a few more get added.

I will rotate the dolls  and move them out to display them or when I need them but for now they are at least in one place and  able to be seen !It was not until settling them in this cupboard that I realised just how many had been standing about waiting for a home.

With the door closed, you can see a few more and sneaked in!

This small pine cupboard was the one I was using and am still using for a few of the Sasha dolls and also the babies.

Although they look a little crowded, it was really funny the other night when I returned home from work and went to change I was sitting on the bed and looked over at the cupboard which is side on and looking at the dolls in the bottom from the side, they looked just like I was in the cupboard and they were looking in and even chatting to each other ! They looked happy? maybe because they are together and can see whats going on from their new position.

Gathering them all together, it's surprised me just how many others there were, non Sasha's that is  ! I still have another couple of dolls that won't be able to get in !

I still want to get a much bigger cupboard , when I find the right one but I have to say having them here and being able to see them makes me very happy!
