SEPTEMBER'S FIRST SUNDAY

And what a beautiful day for the first day of autumn. The sun is shining and it's lovely and warm. I think Autumn could be my favourite of the four seasons.
The weather is still warm enough to enjoy outside, even into late October and early November. You can watch as nature puts itself to bed ready for Winter.
The wonderful golds and bronze , yellows and reds as leaves change before finally dropping.


It's also time to start thinking about the Chat N  Snap, which is now only seven weeks away! Elton Ron very kindly helped with a photo for me to use, to remind everyone that it's coming soon and outfits need to be found for those Sasha's and Gregor's who want to attend the Halloween Ball/ Dance.

So will be working on the design over the coming weeks , maybe it will get finished ahead of time.... maybe... lol

Getting the photo together also gave me an idea which firmed up when I received a couple of photos from my friend carol in Canada.

So announcing here today but I will remind you all again in October. For those who cannot attend the chat n snap due to distance or other commitments that weekend , a little competition. If you are not /unable to attend the chat n snap , I am running a little fun competition , send in a photo before the 20th October of your Sasha's /Grgeor's ready , going trick or treating , getting ready for some Halloween fun or anything else with a Halloween theme and there will be a few prizes up for grabs.




There is one part of the garden that always looks good whatever the season, The cloisters. If I can stop Paul leaving things on it, it is almost always picture perfect . this was yesterday afternoon with the sun catching the end nearest the camera.

Well we are off for the next two weeks and although not going away, due to the dogs being too young to take away for a whole week, we will be going out and about and spending time chilling and also doing things at home.

The Shelf day is on the 5th so get those photos in only three days! I'll be popping on and off during the next two weeks as one of the things I am doing is sorting out more of my doll things.

so have a great week ahead.

SEPTEMBER 1ST A LOVELY AUTUMN DAY


Caitlin and Sansa are out in the garden enjoying the lovely autumn weather.




Caithlin's come over a little light legged and needed to lean against the column , while Sansa's wondering if Mum realised she'd forgotten her shoes!


"So are you legs wibbling and wobbling? " Sansa's asks with some concern
" Well yes and no " Caitlin replies " It's sort of around the middle... I seem to want to bend? "

"How strange!"




" Yes " Caitlin says quietly " I hope it's not stringus slackius or I'll need to go on the never ending list of dolls needing treatment!"




"I'm sure it was just a wobble .. I mean... a blip and you'll feel fine later" reassures Sansa


" Well I hope so " sighs Caitlin " cos that list is just getting longer with nothing happening !"


" I'll tell you what!" says Sansa " let's go find that list and put your name on it just in case!"
" Just in case what? "
" Just in case it is Stringus Slackius and at least you'll be on there before anyone else gets added !"

Caitlin's not so sure it will help since she'll be on the bottom anyway but agrees to Sansa's plan , so they set off in search of The List !

*********************************************************************************

Two more girls get into their Vintage Sasha Dungarees. Caitlin in the purple and Sansa in the pink.
Yes mum did forget to find Sansa's shoes before heading off down the garden and not bothering to go back for them!
Caitlin who was fine up until I changed her and one of her arms seemed to flop ! then she kept trying to bend at the waist when being stood up, so i think she'll need to add her name to the never ending list of dolls that need treatment and attention.
