MONDAY NOT SUNDAY

 

For the catch up. 

The garden has a few bursts of beautiful colour appearing , like this magnolia called Leonard Messel , it's only been in a couple of years and this year it's come into it's own. Lots of beautiful pink flowers giving this section of the garden some sparkle.

It's so pretty, I'm wondering if I can fit one in the front garden. We had been at the garden centre last week and I had been looking at their ornamental cherry trees with a view to getting some early colour into the front garden. Being me , I started with the idea of getting one  by the time I headed home, that had increased to getting three to place around the garden.  Luckily I didn't get the one I really liked but came home, then struggled to see how we could fit three trees out the front !

So maybe it will have to be  one cherry and one magnolia, only time and re arranging the front garden will tell ! 

Indoors it's all about the bedroom. Paul's been putting in new skirting board and picture rail, filling holes etc. The wallpaper is delayed but not as issue since we are not ready for it at the moment. I'm pleased to say I have had a few offers on the Chantilly wallpaper, so hopefully that will be off to a new home , to finally get put on the wall.

Today's headliner is Erik. Who tells me it's lucky he is a Viking so is used to the very very cold conditions , so he's been fine wearing summer clothing all winter ! But some of his brothers have done nothing but moan the whole time ! 

Honestly these dolls do go on !  ( I do feel a little guilty ) So I suppose I may be spending some of this week getting the boys redressed into warmer clothing just in time for summer . . . . .

On the doll front, things are getting exciting one way and another ! 

Sales have started to pick up, with six bears and several Maileg items going off to new homes. A doll that had been on sale for a long time , finally found a new home, which was lovely. So space id appearing and quite a few items have gone but in truth there is so much here , it will take years to see any big changes.

The exciting part is that I have a doll on her way here, to join my Roche doll family, I sold a bigger Roche doll and used some of that money for this ,new to me, one. Then I was talking to another Roche collector and asked if she had considered selling another of her dolls, she has two, and she replied with some photos and a price. So now I have her on a layaway. This one is a doll I did not think I would find, so I am very happy to be able to get her in the near future.

On that happy note, I will wish you all a happy healthy week ahead and remind you that it's almost April, so get out clicking photos of what your dolls are up to and share them with us for the fifth.
