A NEW OLD WAY TO CHANGE THE VIEW

 So I have been very good and selling things left right and centre, so things are now much reduced and I'm now more on to sorting out the non Sasha items. However I have fallen back in love with the babies ! 

Yes I know been there done that more than once ! However seems I'm back there again.

Now I didn't have any spare money when a friend told me she was going to sell a re rooted baby ! What to do !!!  Then what does she do but put on a red headed Gotz Andrea baby to sell ! Now I knew she was going to put a red haired baby up for sale but I had been very good and not asked to see her. But naturally as soon as she appeared I just had to have her too !

But what to do ? Then I decided to see if she'd do a swap ! Luckily I had a doll and a couple of items she was interested in, so the swap was agreed.

So my two new , to me , red haired babies arrived this week.

So now I have Ronny B and Andie ( short of Andrea ) two sweet babies.

I do love the red haired dolls and these two and just so sweet and the fact I didn't have to pay no more than the postage of the doll I sent , I call it a great swap.

Only issue I now have is finding them some clothes ! Luckily both Dolly Doodles and A Passion for Sasha will be at this years Chat n Snap, so hopefully I'll be able to fight the crowds to get a few items for them . 

 

IT'S THE FIFTH SO DOLL PHOTO DAY

 August ! The eighth month of the year, it's fair whizzing by !! But at least today is the fifth, so time to share all those dolls photos.

So lets get this day started. . .

We start off with this young lady from up north ! Seems her name is Tuesday ! Looks like a girl who knows what's what ! And any innocent young lads would be best to steer well clear !! 

Her sister Bronte by contrast, seems a lovely serene young lady much more Johnny's style , him being such a good lad.

Here , that cheeky Toby and Zak are trying out the monkey bars dad's in the process of making , for the Chat n Snap playground display !  I told them, they still need sanding down and finishing but Toby reckons they are saving him wasting time if their no good ! 

Over at RoRoPo Rick is checking in with the garden gnomes, he knows they like a good gossip and know everything that's happening in the surrounding gardens.  " . . .  . . and Gustave along at number seventy seven never saw it coming ! " 

"Really !" exclaims Rick " Fancy that ! By the way who is that gnome over there , I don't remember him "  " Oh Him, we don't talk about him !" They exclaimed moving away .

Rick decides to check this new lad out " Hello Sir, I'm Rick and you are? "     The Gnome just stares ahead with a stern look " Frank " he mumbles 

" Oh hello Frank nice to meet you "  Rick says cheerfully , Frank continues to ignore him " Is that a chainsaw ? "   Franks stares, " Best not cut down anything without asking Mum or Nan !" Rick warns him, Frank just ignores him " Well I have warned you " says Rick starting to walk away " Mum might let you off but Nan oh man ! Nan will . . . . "

Over the pond in Gregoropolis, it's Harriet and John Martin's birthday. Daddy Steve is in the doghouse though, he forgot to get them a birthday cake ! He tried building a pile of Oreo cookies and adding a candle ! His ears are still burning from the kids comments . . . . 

Pretty in pink are two of Gill's babies , ready to enjoy some summer sun while it lasts.

Many thanks to everyone sending in photos, always time for a few  more.

A PROPER SUMMER SUNDAY

 In that the weather is nice, not too hot , not too cold, a bit of rain here, a cool force nine gale there and a burst of sunshine just so you remember it is summer . . .  perfect ;)

Now It won't be long until the Chat n Snap arrives !! now just under three months. So Paul's started making the props for the display.  

Percy of course, had to try out the swings, while I was checking if the backdrop I'd found would work with the playground , I think it does so now have to find one to go next to it on the left ! Will not be an easy task !

Naturally I tried another doll out with it , while it was up.

I can see this being a great prop for the dolls in the future. Like everything it will be down to finding somewhere to store it.

Elizabeth is our headliner today, wearing a gorgeous smocked dress kindly gifted to me by Shelley a wonderful craftswoman .

On the dolls front, I've sold a fair few clothes and a couple of dolls. But now we are into August I will not be sorting anything else out.

After the Fifth , doll photo day, I will be taking the rest of the month off, so won't be posting unless it's something I have got ready and is scheduled to be appear on a certain date. Then I'll be back on the first of September . 

 So have a lovely happy healthy August, don't forget to send in a photo or six to keep us going until September.
