I am happy to announce that after missing whole last Summer and being metaphorically and literally rather lost in my new London neighborhood thanks to my son's young eyes I am back on track (well that's questionable;-) with my carboot mini extravaganzas...
We started slow on one May Saturday...
just one overgrown pony, planes instead of toy cars and this classic platinum beauty...
I only bought her for pure pleasure of owning her for a lttle while - golden start-shaped earrings, red lips, shimmering dress and perfect platinum blonde hair...
she had unusually shaped hands but it still took me a while to identify her...she looked most like Union Jack to me and I was right trying out patriotic keywords
She turned out to be a collectible Statue of Liberty doll
in process i discovered amazing line of Landmark Collection dolls
consisting of Sydney Opera, Big Ben, Eiffel Tower and improved version of Statue of Liberty
you must admit that 'my' London Mackie is rather amazing!
On a huge tsunami wave of adrenaline I soon managed to locate most wonderful and definitely similar in scale to my gone but not forgotten Norfolk grassy field one....a bit tricky to find inbetween forests and gold courses but reachable by bus and manageable on bike (with some practice).
Next Sunday was rather fruitful!
dreams coming true - my daughters own Disney Store Frozen gown, Monster High bag, ice-skating pony and 50p set of eye shadows, beloved mr Monkey and Minecraft and quality watercolour paper for my boy, nice lego bits, straws we got for free, funny silk scarf, amazing blonde wig with roots showing and three dolls to share...
we had little dress-up afternoon...
wig is amazing on both of us LOL
last but not least...Dolls wise I got this pink and gold alladin-transksuit thing...could be Sindy, i don't know... We couldn't find any dolls so at first i grabbed this stiff generic blonde with dislocated hip - sad sad greasy hair fashionista but dress was definitely worth more that 50p:-)
then, at the very end, we spotted a handsome pile of dolls....
i grabbed Grandma (skipped Grandpa for reason I cannot explain....) and Teresa to snatch her articulated body which my daughter doesn't like and give her this head on bellybutton one. :-)
****
so much more to come soon!
