My Dolls, No 172

Today another of my guilty pleasures from times in a sad cafe in a sad market...
Checking the Smiths Toys store every now and then was the only bright side... I ignored last of the AfterHighs and last of the Monsters but kept going around this one ever and over...

She was in a big container of the exact same dolls on sale - very unapealing to someone do used to carboot surprises...I hate both big headed and Disney/tv-cinema related dolls but she had the right skin tone, full articulation and rather unusual fashions with accessories...

Please welcome my Freddie Feciler No 172, Pirat Girl from Descendants series...

Bootsale bug - donors and treasures

It was beginning of Spring 2016 when I seriously got infected with a carboot sale bug...

I admitted that i collect, but still was very strict regarding my dolls hair color and race... I was not even looking at Superstars no matter what and was not buying for resale at all... but the adrenaline rush was there already - the moment we were leaving the roundabout and you saw the rows of stallholders, oh dear! "Stop the boat!"

I can recall this boot sale very clearly. We had not much money left and no cash with us for sure... 

something like 5 pounds for 4 ppl... I have been hunting for a body donor for my (mixed race/tanned) Mermaid - scored but found so much more!

First few boxes laying on the asphalt with a great amounts of really old toys. God knows what I left there - I had no money so picked only the most striking ones...

Proper black doll I always wanted - 

wonderful British Empire made one. Lovely amber-coloured eyes and a broken 'crying box' (aka boombox)...

everyone is pink inside after all.../or sth/

...and unspeakable, 50's it seems fashion doll with a plastic push-up bra with a lock, both shoes!, fancy flower earrings, cute and modest cotton pantalones and fierce sleepy eye system... I tried to identify her but there are only few mentions on-line - mainly requests for identification - another Hong Kong British Empire made doll...

oh

so unusual and unexpected - i still don't know what to think of her!

then I scored - Madison MyScene doll (I was not aware of tanned ones) in a perfect skin tone and completely boxed doll outfit and shoes - as I found at home  (50 p).

accessories already have a new owner and body aswell;-)

Last but not least - a true miracle - proper vintage Sindy/Tammy clone made by Evergreen. I was not educated nor experienced on Sindies at that time but just grabbed her instinctively.
She has a very flirty yet modest look. Real nylon tights, corduroy pants and woolly felt brown outdoor jacket / tweed... her outfit is so well made and from the era I am still confused about the true nature of this doll...

freakin 50 p from a senior couple...

later i have found out clones have a special dedicated page as well:-) <3

And this is how you look when you apparently and no cash and forget to take a bag...

also - my children are so understanding! It is very easy to satisfy them with a new old car or 20p glittery scheisse... and they know - old dollies are for mommy. Not only they don't mow - they try to help:-)
