Opposite of Spring cleaning

Well..nothing will top that last April's vintage stash (from few posts later)...
...but as we all know it one need to look for luck on ebay from time to time.
One evening, visiting family for Easter (last year) i went hunting and 'accidentally' won few things - some of these kept, some redistributed...



the first one has nice toothpaste miniatures and  quite natural looking MyScene bag


pink plastics with lovely suitcase i use quite often...


these are enjoyed by my daughter


There was a sort of handsome prince but he found a better home.


...black pants still attached to hanger and platform shoes, matching the bag...


metallic pink leggings and sleeves - always potentially useful in my 80's phase;-) 


...also lilac set with fur i have love-hate relationship with


and pretty generation girl facemold Barbie with very expressive purple eyes and kissable lips...



it turned out she is wearing her original stock dress
and the rest of the items is part of this very 2000's 'Glamorama' play set:-)


second bundle was a proper mixed bag...


handmade dress with good daughter handmedown potential and salable Midge


Next Barbei wearing trousers i had a taste for few times already - finally mine!


never removed hat hiding like-new hair...why children are so cruel :-(

lovely cheerful spring/summer folk denims


very useful casual and all-american girly raglan


...chewed hands...but


...surprisingly beautiful face with bright eyes and rosy cheeks - she stayed with me and even got MtM body for her fresh natural look! <3


She is School Cool Barbie 2001 with a backpack as packaging <3
Teresa from this line has a maxi skirt in similar fabric and unusual curly hair!



The doll that cough my eye turned out to be plastic head broken sleepy eye Aurora (i bet) on hobbit body) to make things worse)



but what she was wearing turned out not only to be deliciously 80's...

metallic asymmetrical tunic, fancy belt with fringe and shimmering tights!




To my great joy its an original Jem / Jarrica stage garment!



couldn't be happy about this one!

p.s. similar but different

Spring Wonder


Last April I finally unboxed my Wonder Woman.
She has amazing face sculpt and has strong presence on flickr and in many insta doll photos.
one of the must-haves from last years that survived test of time and popularity...

Here is having few dress changes with her original body...

  free and /short-necked/ at last!

first few sculpt studies...


 vintage casual:
 british classic...
 this is a raincoat made by me from umbrela nylon!
Need to make more...

and my favourite Klimt's pesant girl LOL


...but then she was lucky one to get Made t Move Barbie body transplant....
and of the went outdoors!

first a bit of bicycle

by after all we decided not to take it with us for the further Thames Path exploration...
Today you will see some pics from route between Kew Bridge, through Richmond to Ham.




 some of the parts are really wild and could serve as a great crime series location LOL






there was more people than i expected so there is less pics than i planned....









One of my most exciting 'discoveries' was Richmond Lock 
- I love some good Victorian engineering:






then i reached meadows on Richmond itself....

...oh i just cannot wait to get out of the lockdown and stroll at last!
