A SUNDAY IN JUNE

 

Sunday so soon ! and not only that the first one this month ! So far the weather for June has been choppy , one minute nice warm sunshine and then clouds and also some decent rain ! Good for the garden at least !

Not so helpful when it comes with a cooler breeze.

We had friends over to lunch in the week so a nice relaxing day and plans were made to put an electricity connection over to my studio, so that's hopefully happening this coming week ! I could finally have a light fitting after about five years ? 

I am continuing to be busy sorting out the doll studio and the props store.

re ! Posh old names I know but that's what they are and doll cabin doesn't have the same ring to it ! ;)

However one of the things I decided this week was that the dolls house was in the way ! I did not want to put it back on the chest of drawers again and lose the bedroom setup. So after having a sort out down in the props store, I found enough space for it to move down there while I sell it.

It is a shame to have to sell but it needs to be in the house where it can be seen but there is no room inside, so it's on the market hoping for a new home where someone will love it and enjoying setting up the rooms etc.

I also decided that my Maileg castle could go ! I can tell you know if that castle had been Sasha sized It would be staying but since it's mouse sized it's on it's way.

That reminds me that a good few years back I did have plans for Paul to build me a castle tower for the Sasha's in the garden but there was no easy place to put it where it would look okay, so that plan withered away. Plus now we have the folly, which can double up as the Sasha/ Gregor castle ...

Today's headliner is Ashley, wearing a new Ginny belted dress.  I have to say these dresses of Ginny's look great on the no navel's and I am hoping she'll be adding some new fabric's to the line.

Now I have been selling lots of bits and pieces. A few of the props have gone, a white 50's chest of drawers, some more shoes, a new Sindy doll, some other soft toys and one castle hall and the kitchen tower ! So half the castle's already been bought and is boxed up ready and waiting for collection.

I also finally found the Gotz Angela's original outfit, in a shopping bag in the cupboard in the props store ! No idea why it was there but must have been one of my quick tidy ups but because the back went all the down into there it was a pure fluke I found it ! So I asked the lady who bought her ,if she wanted to buy it, she did not, so I sold it on ebay today.

However I do have to confess I also bought a chest of drawers !

This was the chest of drawers I sold and 

I mean look at that bow front and mahogany finish ! and the perfect size for the dolls, even though I intended it to be used for storing small items, it will make a good background piece.

I also sold a Sasha, the brunette short haired girl, I did try to resist but it was a case of if I sold her I could use the money on another Sasha I really wanted to buy , having been watching her a while. So alas she had to go. If I'd thought about selling the castle earlier, she may have got to stay ! 

So things are definitely moving both in the studio and the props store, I may even be able to get into both places without having to move things out the way soon ! 

On that note I will wish you all a happy healthy fun filled , doll filled week ahead.
