IT'S THE FIFTH SO DOLL PHOTO DAY

 Yes it's shot round again ! But at least we are now getting some rain and it's not quite so hot.


For once I had a photo ready to use , unlike normally when I am dashing about last minute to add mine in ! These are the 60's blondes standing at the from of the gang all wearing their William Morris fabric smocked dresses by the talented Ruth Hartley.


From across the pond in Gregoropolis , we have Anika and Kara enjoying some very tropical weather while showing us just how different Sasha's are despite being almost the same age .


While down the road in Broxbourne , Gill's two blonde No Navels are also showing they are the same but different. The girl on the right fancy's coming to live with me but her mum just plain refuses ;) 

Claudia was kind enough to give her dress up to Poppy , so she could be the same as her blonde sisters but she didn't mind has she loves poppies, so got to wear Poppy's poppy dress.

From Old Simples we have three of her gang looking 'hot' in their baggy trousers and in the girl's case cropped top. My ex son in law wore those baggy trousers where it was touch and go whether you'd see more of his pants that you wanted to ! and that was back in the mid to late 90's , fashion always comes full circle but save me this one ! 

Also from old Simples is these two , who look up to mischief if you ask me, that red head is defo whispering , maybe planning their escape . . . . .


Thank you to all those taking part, still time to have your photo added.

COMING BACK DOWN

 


Now when we started on the bedroom and when for wardrobes that also have drawers in, we got rid of our two chests of drawers. Sitting on one set, was a lovely old display cabinet , which I set up as a dolls house for my smaller eight/ten inch dolls.

So it now had nowhere to go in the bedroom. Today Paul brought it downstairs and placed it in the living room while I decided what was going to happen to it. 

Now somehow a group of my Sasha's were now standing ( three deep in some places ) on this sideboard and they needed to go into the doll cabinet. The only way to do that was to clear out some of the smaller dolls in there along with some other things. Also remove the only tall doll, a Roche, then drop the top shelf down allowing me to use that shelf for the Sasha overflow although I still thing they may not all fit ! 



Cicely, the doll in the red coat will need to come out , so the top shelf can be dropped down.



 I decided that if I put the small display cabinet on the sideboard and moved the small dolls into it, this would allow the space for the shelf move. So I moved everything off and then needed to decide if it should go one side or the other or go in the middle.

Of course the middle was settled on.


Pictures put back up either side.

Now the smaller dolls are in the cupboard

Next the dolls in the doll cabinet need to be moved while the shelf is dropped and then the Sasha's will have a home, well most of them.
