AT LAST AN ARRIVAL..

Neroli was beginning to get worried he'd have to wait out for another night! The deckchair was comfortable enough but he didn't like the being alone in the dark....

Neroli hears a light cough, looking up he finds he's no longer alone.

"Hello " says Neroli " I think it must be you I'm waiting for !"

"Really? " asks the boy " do you think I could sit down I've had such a long journey "
"Of course ! "

" So " asks the boy once he's had a rest " what's your name? and why do you think you are waiting for me? "
" My names Neroli but everyone here calls me Nero "
" Nero I like it " smiles the boy
"Thank you " smiles Nero " and I know I was waiting for you because Mrs Mum said the doll coming had never before been seen in the village and well I've never seen you before!"

"Well then you must be right because I've never been in the village before! " said the boy with a serious look " My names Bruno and I used to live in Switzerland but now I have traveled to England "
Nero interrupts " yes you came over the moon!"
" I did? " asks Bruno surprised
"Well I think so " Nero thinks " at least Mrs Mum said she was over the moon to find you ! So she must have traveled over the moon , so therefore you must have traveled over the moon to get here!" finishes Nero happy with having worked it all out.
Bruno smiles softly " Well maybe I did then, should we go in and tell Mrs Mum I've arrived? I'd quite like some clothes to wear it's starting to get chilly "

Nero jumps down and pulls Bruno from the chair " Come on lets go meet everyone !"


********************************************************************************

 Well Mrs Mum is indeed over the moon to have found and won this fabulous all wooden Pongratz boy.
When I came across him I figured he go for quite a bit of money as a new mint doll would set you back over £1200 and although he's got a bump or two and a 'birthmark' on his forehead he is still a lovely example of these handmade Elizabeth Pongratz dolls.

So you can imagine my surprise when I managed to win him for fraction of his original price. The thing was, as happens with a doll I really want to win, his name Bruno popped into my head as the time began to count down. And well having told me his name , he just had to come live with me!

I thought I had some clothes for him , but turns out they are way too big, he is a lovely slim little thing.

He only came in his cotton all in one undergarment, so I needed to find him something to wear.

 After searching through some clothes, I managed to find these to keep him warm! A long sleeved , Passion for Sasha , T shirt, a pair of baby cords by Dolly doodles which are a little short! and a pair of Sharon's socks.

He's not too happy to be wearing , baby cords that are a little short, and a slightly big top but thems the breaks, when you come to live in a house full of well fed dolls ;)

He'll be needing some clothes and shoes that fit as he's refused to wear some of the baby items which covered him but were too loose in some places and too big in others!

So this is my boy Bruno, I have wanted a full wooden Pongratz doll for years and years , I,m over the moon that he's finally arrived! :)
