FROM RAGS TO RICHES

A while back Wendy sent me some photo's of some dolls she's found for a good price but in a bad condition.

So she set about cleaning them up.

Getting ready for a good wash!

Very dirty...

Four wonderful Sasha dolls in a dirty but savable condition

drying off after a very good wash!

and look at them now!!

The Baby whose gone off to a good home.

The Gregor looking handsome.

and look at Cora now! Just plain Gorgeous!! in a dress by Wendy.

and the three out in the garden enjoying that evening sunshine.

What a fantastic find and what great work Wendy's done to bring them back to life.


Ode for Sasha dolls

Dolls neglected so sad and forlorn
Clothing grubby,damaged and torn
Brought them all home,with much TLC
Smiling again as they should be.

By Wendy F.


So there is still time for me to find that box full of tatty and grubby NP dolls , long neglected and unwanted and get them for a song...... I'd definitely be singing if I ever found them!


Many thanks to the lovely and talented Wendy for sharing their discovery and recovery with us.

DECISIONS DECISIONS DECISIONS.....

The weekend is slowly coming to an end and I for one have had a wonderful time. Lunch out on my birthday which was Friday, then dinner out Saturday with the family and then another impromptu birthday lunch today!

and the sun stayed out the whole time ! So a great 60th , I may have to be 60 again next year if this is what happens! :)

Now back to  normal in a sense! I'm trying hard to reduce all my doll things! I have until the end of this month to reduce as much as I can or am willing to do in order that it can all be moved and the room be available to be turned into a bathroom!

So hard decisions have to be made ! Now most of you know I LOVE Karen Warnaka's coats and dresses. So much so that I have a very fine collection!

 and here are some of them, yes some  ! on this rail are three different styles, the waist length jacket on the right, next along is the collared coat and then the hooded jackets.

Here are some more of the hooded coats and I know for a fact another is being worn by a doll upstairs and yet another waist length white jacket by Paige!.
So I have made the decision that I need to reduce these coats! I know how can I bring myself to do it! and which one's to chose!
So I am going to try to find ten...... maybe .....to sell on..... if I have two in the same colour one must go, even if they are in different styles...... and to that end I have managed to sort out a few.

1/ Dark Green

2/ Checked brown

3/  Mauve  Purple

4/ Brown

5/ Blue Purple

6/ Herringbone Terracotta, all above were sold.

And maybe this red but I'm not sure if I will keep this one....

I'll probably regret selling them but I need to make space and I am keeping a good cross section of the colours. Now if i could just whittle down the rest of my things......

Enjoy the coming week.
