IT'S THE FIFTH SO DOLL PHOTO DAY

 Yes it's already time for March's doll photo's 

From Gill we have her later Gotz's dolls starting with her two blonde girls, looking gorgeous in purple.

We also have her two Angela's looking very summery with their dolls house. I hope they have their coats and socks nearby ! 

Gotz Luisa is not removing her coat or hat any time soon ! It's only March after all !!

From Gregoropolis we have Wyatt and Rhoda and looking lovely and warm ,since it's nowhere near time to start removing any warm clothing.

Meanwhile Holly Belle and Meghan are loving their new dresses from Ginny at a Passion for Sasha , the sleeves keep them lovely and warm while they play indoors or sit reading. I can see the other girls asking where their new dresses are. . . . .

From up near the Scottish border we have these two, Betty Boo and Malcolm , I just so love the 68 Sasha's and Gregor's , but especially Betty Boo who is a red haired single fringe a girl that has always alluded me.

"So "says Malcom " have only a teeny tiny bit of fringe makes you some kind of rock star ? "

"You'd better believe it stud " 

NB I have just been informed that her name is Darcy and his is Naughty Boy because 'she' paid too much for him, so I don't think he is the naughty one . . . . . .

Here in the village the Gotz girl's have been meeting up to get to know each other, Annette, Luisa and Anika are looking forward to warmer weather arriving, so they can get outside more.

 

Meanwhile Cleo has changed out of her Valentine's day ballet outfit ,into this high necked dress which is says is her preference in dresses !

I have to say that this style does suit her. Luckily we have a few such dresses in the house but no doubt she'll be wanting others !

Over in Germany at RoRoPo,  Rick is surveying his considerable lands ! I think he's been reading stories of Scottish lairds and their estates!

"Sorry Rick what did you say ? Oh you think you need a few Highland Coos ! No sure what mum's going to feel about that ! "  I don't think he's listening , he's away with his coos ! 

Many thanks to everyone whose sent in some photos. still time to join in

SUNDAY 1ST MARCH

 

Happy New Month to you all ! Well at last we are in March ! The month of Spring starting and no before time with all the rain we have been having this winter. Mind you there is no given that the rain will lessen ! But hopefully the days will slowly warm and the sun will be more in evidence than it seems to have been lately.

So another week has galloped by ! We , that's the royal one, are still working on the bedroom, so it's slowly coming along.  I'm also still looking for just the right wallpaper, if I'm going to give up on my old lady one. Although to call it an old lady one is to do it an injustice. It's really just a traditional style old country house one. Paul's delighted that I have decided to look for another one to take it's place but the older I get the harder I now find it is to make a decision ! 

Which means the search for the perfect wallpaper continues, which at present is not a problem with the amount of other things that still need to happen first , but I do like to know what we will be putting up and also pairing up the right paint to compliment it. Then lets not forget about if the bedding will still suit etc.

Now I have decided that there must be no more doll buying for the next three months, if not longer. You can stop laughing , I know I can constantly saying this or something similar ! But it will be happening.

I don't need any more Sasha dolls at this time, I have more than enough, since adding quite a few in the last few months of last year, along with a couple more since the new year. So I'll see how it goes, so do me a favour and don't be putting on any button nosed kids or No Navel's for the next few months.

 Today's headliner is my new Gotz Luisa, on her arrival. I have been after one of these Luisa's on and off for years. Normally they only come up in the US. So when I saw this girl come up in the UK and at a good price, well I just had to buy her.  My only issue with her is that she arrived with her hair looking as shown. I asked the seller if she'd recently washed or conditioned her hair , as it still felt a bit damp. She answered that she had conditioned it but didn't wash it as she didn't want to send her with wet hair.

So at present she has had it washed to hopefully get the condition out and is having it dried naturally while sporting a headband to help keep her fringe down. It's already starting to look much better.

So on the doll front three have arrived and one is leaving.

The three are Anika, Luisa and a baby I previously sold.  I bought the baby back because I sold her in a lovely Ruth Dolls smocked dress which I'd wished I'd kept and a lovely mohair wig. So although she's arrived home, the actually baby will be put back up for sale minus the wig and clothing. Which means I am counting it as two in but two out ! 

So I will be enjoying the dolls I have and not looking to add any others for a while.. . . . .

On that note I will wish you all a happy healthy fun filled month ahead and Happy birthday to anyone whose day it is this month.
