Spring cali

 At last... still in her woolly blanket coat but able to enjoy a picnic in Richmond park and spotting first blossoms... It's been a while since I took her out. Still one of my favs and I don't feel it would be right to rebody her... Oh well, choices...


..ahh still a bit windy...


Few of bluebells we've found...



...some early azaleas...



..and a starry meadow...



stomp stomp stomp


...and relax...


climb...


...and play...


Young red beech leaves


ahhh, the spring air...


Really enjoying these last few, lovely ambience and colours





Have a great week everyone!!

Cushions photo sesh

 So this happened...

After 'wasting' all my free lockdown time it was in Spring 2021 when I finally started to play with my sewing machine again - lots of Barbie cushions happened...I had more ideas than space to storage and  need t I supplied my (folk jewellery) Etsy store with them - creating tis way an extensive 'roroDolls' section there...


Cosy highlander's flannel




I love the old genrtelmans' club feel to these


Then I have dark vintage florals



..and shades of sapphire in different textures



Classic pastoral French ones...




..and fun vintage sunchair stripes...





Last but not least - indigo textures...





...hope they will find good forever homes aka doll houses !

Brighton miniatures

 One sunny post-lockdown day I took myself down to Brighton.

You can go there by train and it meant to be a date (he bailed out due to ill mental health) but still I don't need a man to keep me busy...

I've seen everything and also in one of charity shops stumbled upon bags of dollhouse miniatures. They weren't cheap so could only choose one (meant to resale but you know what happened). Really happy with that one - very little bourgeoise pastel crap ;-)

Enjoy!


Tadaa!


Two storage / laundry baskets


Nursery essentials but tasteful...


Cute ceramic bottle and cup


Spectacular basket and knitting set (how cool is that!!)


...fabrics (oh...must set up an atelier / craftroom for dolls...)


Copper and enamel pots with tasty broth...


Tres bourgeoise set that has to go!


Almost cute and useful baby that can pose...



Brand new toot toot!


...and my favs - jam tarts in making, dusty bowl of cherries and a very realistic chop...

Non-doll related (imagine!) - few snapshots of the bright and jolly Brighton...


For those of you that don't know - yes, it is like a British San Francisco - artsy, creative, alternative, gay



ok, ok and pavilon...







Obligatory  one...




..not exactly holidays - but felt like a massive trip at the time - post lockdowns...
