Lucy in Cracow

 

Part 2 of our Spring'24 trip to Poland

My hometown of Kraków:

Then we went to the botanical garden of my childhood

.....and last but not east my nephew's cave...

...busy busy tour de pologne as always!

Lucy in Wro

 I am a just collector and decision has been made that it is time - 

Defa Lucy No 2 is getting unboxed and travels with us for annual homeland visit...

Do you remember that hype '24? lol

Wroclaw is great!
Very different to my part of Poland 

Destroyed by war (well red army 'liberation')

Now nicely rebuilt

I arranged to collect kids there, before the airport and train  as it's closer to kids Dad's place...

This has been taken against a very compromised building and this fairy was such a sharp juxtaposition!

Then we went to see canals and bishops island...

Remember those Cathedral towers - very characteristic <3

We really loved it - domestic tourism hits differently!

September ebay sins

 Ok, so this happened....I browsed...I spotted a bargain....I won and here we are...

Oh dear......let's go...

First emerged Barbie movie Spy Squa Renee.
I wanted to snatch her bag bit it has a serious zip-line mechanism....

Upcycling...Donation....

Next this crazy individual...which can be quite Malibu posh once brushed and sleek

My inner kid is delighted, indeed!!

...but also...

Then I outsourced this fluffy coat and elegant ball gloves...

These two are going straight to charity shop...

So is this stiffy wiffy....or maybe i rob him off clothes...

Quite pleasant edition of Anastasia but I had no feelings and sold her on eBay...

Turns out this dress in Hasbro Sindy situation...after all

Almosy got tricked...

She photographs really lovely....

Lovely blowout...

...and amusing body...

...another hello - bye bye Sindy...

I was strooonggg.....

....but then got charmed by this simpler take on lilac dear eyes 

...next came generic Millie - off to charity but I really liked her simple casual clothes, thanks!

Next - the most horrendous face ever! but surprisingly good clothes....

Very detailed, possibly fashion fever era goods....

Oh wait, found it - what a gorg fashion pack :-o

Lovely Daisy will please a new girl, but I will need this jacket....

Finalement - fancy semi-articulated Millie extra with pastel streaks and knots...

...still with her earrings and clips...

...and then, ha! always happy to spot one of these:-)

very classic simple elegant blonde head...

Not my favourite face-sculpt but I will keep her for the Season....

Last but not least a doll that I've been eyeballing in shops...she had rather cool fashions originally but also I am a sucker for teen Skipper face - here with eyeliner! and a good hair-bow LOL 

Quite cool but hair are of very poor material...

,,,,her reference:

💟💙💜 Pastel Besties....💟💙💜

There also was this poor thing...I almost fell for the skirt...

xx The final selection xx
