OH NO! WHERE DID THEY ALL GO !

 

So yet again one sees the error of their ways ! That one being me and the error being my chasing of another doll over the years.

When I see the photos of the no navel dolls that lived here in the village and that I have foolishly moved on, no doubt in order to buy some other doll that's taken my fancy or when I have had my almost yearly cull when I think there are too many dolls just standing about ! 

I did at one stage have around twelve no navel girls all together living here. But if I was to be able to count them up I would expect I have owned around twenty or even a few more ! 

It's probably lucky I cannot remember who bought most of them or I would be sending emails asking if they'd like to sell some of them back to me !

I cannot quite believe what gems I actually owned and sold on !!

Winter and Raven standing either side of the middle girl, were my first brunettes .

Three brunette's in this photo and at present I do even own one !! That will be on my radar to add back into my collection this year.

At least Martha and Ashley are still with me, but then Ashley was my first ever blonde NN and Martha was my Holy Grail doll, a red haired full blue eyed lass. While others searched for NP's I searched for her.

Seven of the ten dolls above are no navels.

Even a no navel boy, extreme rare , came to stay but just for a while. Why only a while you ask ? Because he was too rare and too perfect ! But it was nice to have him come and stay for a while before going off to a new home.

Still here is Ginny , my first ever no navel, who is a waif and was the doll that made be fall in love with the no navel sculpt.

Still here is Ashley , my second ever no navel doll , who totally confirmed what beautiful dolls they are.

Of course Martha, the HG is still here 

Here is the lovely Saffron, a beautiful re root who came to live here a long time back now.

A new arrival last year, arrived to help increase the no navel numbers. I do love the dolls with short hair.

Now this little NN arrival used to belong to Gill but she then went off to the US for a few years, then when I saw her , I was good and pointed her out to Gill but Gill is much batter than me at being good. So she said she'd love her but was being good, so I bought her.

The last in at present is this waif with a short fringe. She had a bad arm, which we fixed with a new arm hook. I did put her up for sale towards another doll but then realised what I was doing, so pulled her off and found another way to get the doll I was after , a non Sasha, by doing a swap instead.

So at present I have three blondes and four red heads. 

Which means I will be on the look out for a lovely brunette or two and maybe another brown eyed blonde later in the year. 

FEBRUARY 5TH DOLL PHOTO DAY

 Oh yes it's doll photo day again, time to have a look at the lovely dolls owned by the blogs watchers.

We start with two of Emma in Indiana's dolls helping to clear some of the eleven inches of snow !! Yes that's right eleven inches ! We here in the UK have a panic attack if we get 11cm ! 

From Ronny, up in the north of the country, we have a photo of two of her girls staying the warmth. Just loving her beautiful curly re rooted girl, she can come live here anytime ;)

From Gill we have a trio of No Navel Sasha's , who met up for a gossip. Cilla used to live at Gills before she took a trip across the pond for a few year, then returned to the UK late last year to join the village clan.

From Gregoropolis we have Marta and Colin doing a bit of unintentional co ordinating , looking good since you didn't make a plan 

Also at Gregoropolis are the Ken's excited that it's time for the winter Olympics ! They love to watch while wearing their skates then go out and practice the moves. This can sometimes lead to then staying on the sofa recovering from an injury but hey ! When you gotta skate you just gotta skate ! 

At RoRoPo , Caleb is out in the snow looking for the pet leopard Pardel , He finds him by following his paw prints , Pardel is some what annoyed that he's been found so quickly !

"Pardel ! " calls Caleb " Are you enjoying all this snow ? " 

Pardel lets out the biggest sigh/ growl and moves out from his spot in the bushes, where he was planning on frightening the life out of next doors cat ! But will have to leave that for another day.

Soon Pardel's forgotten his annoyance and is rolling around with Caleb having fun.

This photo appeared on my fb feed , a Gotz Sophie , that I sold back in 2018 I had her for a long time because she had come in her blue working overalls and been left in her tube and I promised her she could wear a dress and never have to go to 'work' again. 

A fox was seen out in the garden checking out the stream, I hope it's not going to cause trouble.

Also from Gill we have her two dungaree girls wearing two lovely green hats and coats by Sarah w, looking just right to keep warm when out in this winter weather.

Many thanks to everyone sharing photos of their dolls, still time to have yours added, just send them in

Thanks
