While their brother or sister were strutting their stuff at the Halloween dance the others were meeting up with old friends and gossiping and making requests of their parents in regard to all the goodies they could see on the sales tables.

These came dressed for cold weather but the day turned out nice and sunny and quite warm, not that we noticed much...

A lovely colourful group here in Ginny of a Passion for Sasha dungarees I believe.
Quite a few NP's amongst this group of children
Lovely pair of girls prettily dressed.
a little gotz girl looking after the baby.
A few more Gotz children with their friends.
Curly came with his gavel and was most disappointed he did get to hit something! Hele was keeping a close eye!
Now I recognized this lass in the elf boots the minute I saw her, love the outfit, once long ago she used to live here in the village and was one of the first re-roots by Jackie Rystrom.

When I first spotted these toddler's I thought they had white sticks !
Another couple who came expecting bad cold weather.
So what did I buy this year, well due to an issue I am having with something I sold to an unscrupulous buyer, my funds were almost nothing until I started making a few sales.
The first thing I bought was this piano! It does work! it's from the thirties and just a little small height wise but I'm going to have it raised up by an inch or two and may or may not repaint it all apart from the design on the front.
From Ginny I bought these outfits.
From Jane W I bought this baby hat and a large trifle.
made by Jane , very clever, wonder what she'll be selling next year!
From Petrana I bought these two outfit's the dress she striped off her poor doll !
There was of course so much more I would have loved to have bought but I'll be contacting a few of the sellers over the coming months to see if I can buy what I missed.
I was quite lucky and had four raffle tickets come up ! Problem is when you are calling them it's hard to pick things , so it was a very very quick look and then back to the calling.
The green sweater is too big for Sasha but I thought it may suit one of my other dolls.
I managed to sell a couple of dolls plus another two later, so a very good day in the end.

So colourful! I LOVE this cheery post. I wish and wish I could have been there.
ReplyDeleteThanks, well there is always next year :)
DeleteWhat a lot of lovely Sashas, Gregors, Toddlers and Babies! And all so beautifully dressed. I love what you bought Dee, especially the piano....my immediate thought was Bruno! I can imagine him playing the piano :)

There is always a good attendance from the Sasha/gregors etc and they always like to strut their stuff ;)
DeleteI didn't even think of Bruno! I'll have to see if he can play ;) xx
Just as long as Granny doesn't sing!
DeleteSome very well dressed kids in attendance. I absolutely love that floral dress you bought from Ginny!
ReplyDeleteThey do like to put on a good show :) Well It just so happens that Ginny as a small supply of that fabric, she put one in the raffle and also sold two I think, so you know where to find another... :)
DeleteThis is my favorite of the CnS photos. I absolutely love seeing the dolls so beautifully and creatively dressed. I recognize a lot of these special kids too so I know their Moms and Dads. Almost like being there. ❤️
ReplyDeleteYou did quite well considering you were in charge of everything Dee. I like your piano especially the graphics and the shape of it. What a happy time you all had and you raised a great amount for the charity too. The best of the best! 😊 xxx
It is lovely to see and also recognise some of the dolls that took part.
DeleteWe did have a great day I have to say and everyone helped raise such a lovely amount and some were not even there! :) xx
