EASTER SUNDAY , DOLL PHOTO DAY

 Yes that correct doll photo day has fallen on Easter Sunday this year.

For once here in the village we are first up! Usually we are scrambling around last minute but Ava decided that we'd best get ahead of the game  now I'd remembered her existence ! Now the question is will I get another done before others photo's arrive. . . . . .

From Gill we have Binki looking sweet with her bunny, hoping for a visit from the Easter bunny.

From across the pond in Gregoropolis Robin and Emma are looking ready to party! Emma is wearing her coronation themed dress, because apart from it being just too lovely to leave in the wardrobe, someone somewhere is getting crowned !  It's a little early for the May Queen but she's sure she'll find someone ! 

Also over at Gregoropolis is the beautiful button called April, a new member of the family having just arrived, she's still finding her way about. She's met Holly Belle and she is helping her settle in and filling her in on the rules. . . . . some may be Holly Belle's rules but I'm sure the others will set her right over time.

From Simples, up north, we have a tiny tiny few of her toddlers waiting to get some easter eggs off of their pretty button sister. Which is an improvement on her last lot of unruly tots.

Plus this trio of brunettes, who have been a family since 1972, She keeping them together ! yes the words of old Icy!! I think she's getting soppy in her old age. . . . . . well unless one stray hair decides to fall and then it will be curtains !!!

Meanwhile here in the village it's been too windy for dolls to stand around, so Rose took her new sister Mimi for a drive round the garden. I need to have words with her about driving down the stream bed! That's not a 4x4 she's driving ! 

Over at RoRoPo Laird Rick , as he is now known, is enjoying some lovely spring sunshine but I think he will need to be careful ! His goat friend seems to be eyeing up his blanket as a tasty treat ! 

Many thanks for those sending in their photos, still time to have yours added , if you'd like to join in.

EASTER FRIDAY

 
 " Oh what a beautiful morning , oh way a beautiful day ! I've got a wonderful feeling , everything's going my way...... " 

HAPPY EASTER TO EVERYONE

I don't know whether it's because it's Easter or because it's now April or maybe because we have had a couple of nice days with a touch of warm sunshine but it does feel there is now a little spring in the air despite everything happening around the world and in this Country. 

I saw a couple of lovely blonde Sasha's with smart bobbed / pageboy styled hair and thought, they look lovely it would be nice to have one like that, so went off searching for one I had seen for sale on eBay or the bazaar , did not find it but stopped to go look for something and spotted Ava !!!! Yes a Sasha with bobbed hair !! 

Honestly, just cos she's been starting around in her hat all winter ! Thank goodness she appeared and stopped me falling off the no doll buying wagon. . . . . . . although I do have a non Sasha layaway for a doll , so does that mean I have fallen ? or am I still falling and not quite hit the ground ?

So I will be changing some of the girls, who are wearing the most warm clothing into something more springlike.

Now the bedroom is coming along slowly. Naturally the new wallpaper is delayed ! and I have now sold the old wallpaper , which has gone off to the USA !  So if the new choice doesn't arrive for some reason , we will have to find another one!

Our new fridge freezer is coming tomorrow, so the old one is being unplugged and cleaned and put outside in the carport ready for them to take it away, once the new one's arrived . It's nice to have it sorted out.

Also my 'new' to me Roche doll will be arriving too.

I've been obsessed with using up the silk/wool yarn I bought, not wanting to put it to one side and then not get back to it until autumn / winter ! I'm pleased to say it's all been knitted up now, however I did go and buy some other 100% wool in some other colours . . . . . but at least it won't arrive until sometime after Easter, so my poor hands will get a rest !

On the doll front it's been good. I have sold another doll and also some more bears and some more Maileg items. Slowly but surely things are going off to new homes and slivers of spaces are being found.

I have to confess a few items of dolls clothing have arrived but not that many.

Now the fifth will occur this year on Easter Sunday, so that's when we have our doll photo day, and why I decided to do the Sunday catch up today. 

So please send in those wonderful doll photos for Sunday / if everyone is out and about with family, I will delay the doll photo day until mid week.

On that note have a wonderful Easter weekend and a happy healthy week ahead.
