So another Sunday arrives, this one bright but cloudy after a day or two of very hot weather with the threat of thunderstorms that passed us by, although others were not so lucky.
The sorting, tidying, selling continues, although Gill and Tony came to lunch again this week and Tony kindly. along with Paul, put electric sockets into my doll studio, so I can finally have a light fitting !! Not only that but he also contented power up to the water pump for our small waterfall, so two long awaited jobs done with the help of the wonderful Tony.
Naturally Gill and myself stayed out the way chatting and getting lunch ready while they faffed about , ;) , and lots of doll talk was had.
The next day, Paul worked on getting the water flow correct on the stones and now it's all done and working well.
Meanwhile, I've been making decisions and finally agreed that my dropleaf oak table with the barley twist legs could be sold, which allowed me to move the big box of dvd's and my bigger box of wool that sits on top of it, from the middle of the props store to the side. Which finally allowed me to actually walk unimpeded from the door to the back wall.
More sorting of boxes /bags was done, along with some listing of items for sale.
Today's headliner is our very own Hattie Bonham Carter Owen. It took a lot of arm twisting to get her to try on this dress for me, which I think suits her really well.
But she's having none of it and is now the photos have been taken, off searching for 'her' clothes to wear!
The new no navel boy has settled on the name Ruairi ! He had to chose the Celtic spelling , to keep me on my feet ! But at least he now does have a name.
His arrival seems to have stirred things up ! But more about that in a month or so!!!
On the selling front, things are going along slowly but are going. I decided to sell some of my Ruby red dolls and just keep a couple. So two, I'm pleased to say, have already sold and another's just been listed and I have a decision to make on which of the other two Forever Friends dolls go , then I can list that one.
So things are changing although slowly, but since I still have enough to fill a small barn, the sorting, deciding and changing around continues but the patio table is starting to reappear from beneath the boxes and bags!
The katkin book and bag on top contain 85 paperback books I'm selling which are too big and heavy to post, so could take some time to go. I think I'll have to move them into the old workshop to get them out the way ! I think this whole table may even be cleared by the end of this week !!
That AG bike will be going on the market later today and hopefully won't stick around long, so more space.
Now I would like to say that I've not bought anything but I'd be lying ! Carried away by making a few sales, I did splash out on one of Petrana's sunsuits that I had in my watching and I've been chatting to Ginny but at least these are clothes that can be easily put away in the drawer and not large props that fill the space up !
So that's been my week, now I'm off to sort out that bike for sale and maybe move those books into the workshop, a Sasha doll lovers work is never done !
Have a lovely healthy happy doll filled week
Dee
