IF YOU WENT BACK

 On the Sasha study group, the theme this week is , if you could go back would you change / collect your dolls differently.

Which naturally made me think, what would I do differently , if anything ?.

Well I love the 68 dolls, so If I had my time again there are a couple of my early 68 girls I would now keep.

Bella, a girl who should have stayed for one.

I would also keep quite a few of the Gotz dolls, that have come along and then moved on to pay for a different doll. 

Some of the early Button nosed dolls I owned and the No navel's plus a few of the early slated eyed Gotz buys.

But if my collection got too big, I'd feel the need to downsize it , only to months later , start buying again. Or if I wanted a doll, I would and still do sell other dolls to pay for them.

Funnily enough I have never thought about selling these boys towards other dolls.

And Arabella I sold a few years back and she had a couple of owners but I had seen her about and was able to buy her back even though her mum at that time did love her.

I think I have owned four NP dolls over the years but they come in and almost straight away go out again! So now I know they are not for me, so no more will arrive unless I come across one dirt cheap, then she/he may stay . . . . . well for a while ;) 

But I don't miss the dolls and if I'd not sold them I would have missed out on owning others. So really it's been an interesting journey , where you learn as you go along.

At the moment I'm not looking to buy more Sasha's but if one came along and started singing to me , well what's a Sashaphile to do !
