Mixed clothes bundle

Yes, i did it again i was bored-sad one evening and started to brows ebay... you know how it ends... a random mixed bundle which can possibly be a bargain...


This one from June 2022 looked better than it was irl.


I got it from a reseller and these were super cheap mismatched, 
stained or thorn bits unsuitable for them to put n sets etc...


I divided it all into 3 piles - one for bin, one for me, one for daughter.

Some pleasant 2000 stuff but not my type to be precise...



(hahha, I reused this zip bag so many times now lol, forgot it came with these...)


Let's go!

1. splendid vintage floral bedding with lace


2. Basic Barbie pieces - casual 90s...


3. Very cool business / city-living coat with power shoulder - sadly so old it snows rubber LOL


4. My inner child loves this!!


Can't remember what what they are but they are disintegrating in hands...


5. Fab pinks - go to my daughter :-)


6. Random tops and bottoms - what a mix!



MMmmm exciting ballerina and beach bits (I'm so silly but this hits the spot...)


Some wonky home-made bra with padding...


7. Hairclips I couldn't identify...or maybe I can....one sec...



8.Cute pastels


10. More bikini bits


Something once dreamy but very tired....


This teddy one is familiar but again - doesn't come up in searches...


Exciting patterns. This violet bralette - very cute!
and my daughter's fav - basic playline pink jersey dress..


can't wait to have them rolling in and mixing with the old ones...

Piknik etno



































 Exactly one year ago, on one fresh sunny Spring day I've made this series of photos called 'Picnic' for the May pages of doll's forum calendar.
I would not be myself if it was yellow, pink and blossom..
Here are my three beautiful unusual Mattel's brunettes in mix of ethnic and army clothes - my kind of girls;-):

Chinese Midge, Pocahontas and Esmeralda



before they deserved a rest and some snacks they threw few poses obviously...




yay for the team red lipstick!




mmm sun...



oh well.. there was not much to eat...

(sooo stiff <3)




but you can always photoshop some...

SPRING!!!!

charity shop box stash

On one lazy afterschool chartity shop stroll I have stumbled upon a dreams-come-true kind of a mixed doll stash/lot in price of five pounds. I grabbed it without checking much so had lots of fun discovering the content...

 ...so obviously one of Poca's edition (made in china, with dry and cut hair) with 2 dresses, original early 90s gymnast and ski outfits with shoes, Kens shoes, Mermaid tails, Jasminas bottom and set of satine lingerie and painfully colourful bicycle...all perfectely from the same era...

 I decided to keep the bicycle for repaint and already managed to sell 90% ofthe stash enjoying the time spent while taking pics for eBay... charity is happy, roro is happy, dolls in loving hands, eBay earned too. win - win situation;-)

Barbie turns out to be Cut'n'Style 1995 blond Barbie with cut short bob and fun velcro looking a bit like an undercut actually.. original choker still on...



thanks to this unexpected finding I refershed my memories about being too 'grown up' for dolls but trying to decide which I'd get while being amazed by the choice of hair colours (and vivid outfits posibly;-)

Cut'n'Style dolls came in few versions with packs of hair refills sold separetely!




so interestingly - no Teresa as brunette bit Christie s an AA...

Pocahontas had this other dress which I once saw on blog - with autumn leaves appearing and metallic trim so I started to dig a bit and realised how much of a commercial success she must have had (and obviously is stil produced till nowadays). I remmeber the mould and Native stylistic as very refreshing but out of my reach already...

so except of classic one there were versions with twirly hair machine, changing colour hair editionand a beautiful snowy winter one*...and much more, all with fancy names and accessories or not (no swimsuit realness surprisingly, LOL)







months later i will meet my nude Colour Splas one:-) 

*they are called: the spirit of love, sun colours, feathers in the wind, winter moon and shining breids...
