IT'S THE FIFTH SO DOLL PHOTO DAY

 Yes, it's the fifth already ! Time flies when you are having fun, so they say. So lets have some fun looking at all the lovely photos sent in.

We just had to start with Holly Belle from Gregoropolis, she insisted . . . I mean resisted ,but is glowing in a new multi coloured dress with bag. I just love the colours of her dress with it's toning smock detail and it really does start the day off with a bang.

Meanwhile her sister Meghan is happy with her new dress with apron in a lovely mix of pinks. A glow of a different kind but no less effective.

Over at RoRoPo, Otto and Julchen are checking out Granny's garden flowers. Admiring the yellows singing next to the blues. " Just like your clothes Otto ! " Julchen exclaims noticing his yellow top and blue trouser " You little flower you ! " she giggles and Otto joins in " Maybe you should plant me !" Otto giggles

" Or I could take you in and give you to mum and say I picked you in the garden !" They both find this hilarious and stumble back to the house making more and more silly jokes about Otto being a plant!

From Gill we have Billie and Anoushka insisting that pink is in fact the best colour in the whole wide world and they want a new law saying that everyone , even the boys have to wear pink! Mum explains that while pink is in fact gorgeous, only some people or in their case children can pull it off ! And therefore it would not be fair to either those unfortunate children/ people nor even to the colour pink if they made it look blare !  " Oh no! We cannot have people ruining PINK! " the girls cry out together and rush off to check for anyone wearing pink and no looking right! Mum rolls her eyes 

Ada, who was just outside rocking the baby in the pram, sighs having heard her sisters words. She calls out " Mum next time you see a sister you want to come live here can you check they have an IQ higher than a pigeon ? "   Mum doesn't answer but Ada is sure she heard her muffle a laugh. . . smiling she carries on rocking the baby.

It's lucky that Elizabeth , here in the village, did not hear those girls ! Since she is wearing a beautiful BLUE dress that was a gift from a very talented Sasha friend. Although Elizabeth loves all colours including pink, she loves blue the best.

I found an old calendar that I had made in 2012 of my dolls, so I thought I would share them today since I am so late posting this post.

Only three babies back then !

Only Violet still here.

Toby being the monkey he is !!

Little Zak 

Claudia, Violet and Sapphire still with me, dresses by a lovely American lady who sold under the name of Special Delivery.

I won't say how many of these blondes are still here , but hello Liberty . . . 

Again just two of these boys still here.

Back when Hattie's Hat's with Hattitude were a Sasha Sensation !

Thank you to everyone who managed to get to this point ;) , and thank you to the lovely people sending in some wonderful photos for us all to enjoy.

Still time to be added

SUNDAY ROAST MONDAY FRIZZLE

 

and I am not talking about meat and two veg! I'm talking about this heat wave we are having here in the UK at the moment ! We are like mice only coming out before the sun is truly up and once it starts to set ! otherwise we are trying to find the coolest spot in the house and defending it against all comers !!

They are comparing it of the summer of 76, well I remember that hot summer, when I was a child. . .cough cough. . . back then I was a mere slip of a thing so could cope but alas now I'm not , so the first to go are the ankles swelling ! 

We are having a gathering next Sunday and I can only hope the temperature drops enough that it is comfortable to be sitting outside and wandering around the garden. Plus not go totally the other way and pour with rain !!

Liberty is today's headliner wearing another of Petrana's lovely sunsuits.

The clearing out of the studio continues, along with selling off some of the props and unneeded items.

It's been very hit and miss due to the temperature, only being cool enough to get in there first thing or later in the day. But it is getting there and sales although slow are still happening. 

Which helps things not to be just sitting about waiting. But this heat, now it's Monday and still hot is a nightmare! Thank goodness it's supposed to rain tomorrow and the temperature drop by ten degrees at least.

Well It's the first of July, so I wish you all a happy healthy month ahead. Don't forget the fifth's doll photos and say cool ;)
