Sindy Hasbro (No 213)

 I have been reading something about them or eyeballing an ebay auction when I saw her in the wild aka my favourite toy / kids charity...Her hair was a disaster and her face's profile is well flat...but at long last she got reduced and I couldn't say no...

...finds of teh day...

So since she has violet eyes and a fringe I assume she is one of these 

yeah, almost sure now it's her - i think I even have her very 80's white ankle boots as well as ear-muffs in fact! mayve even the leggings if there has been colour variations)...

Her horse-riding clothes are much older however...

 poor thing waited over an year to be take for a pictures walkie...

but it has been a grand one - best of British - Kew Gardens!

She is ironically wearing a Sindy t-shirt from teh latest re-edition doll

 and lo-fi 80's mumsy elasticated skirt.

So many people but I was sneaky...

This ancient horsetail looks very much like bamboo for dolls :-)

Purple was essential in this photo session...

Matching her skirt.

...and few classisc.

National Trust Sindy

 Today a great memory of last summer. A proper cross country road trip so to speak - through the fields, forests, mansion and a town - in-between one rural train line to another.... Box Hill / Dorking to Bookham via Polsden Lacey....

Oh, so dreamy <3

I had so many miles to cover that I rarely has energy to produce my doll.
A walled garden in bloom is surely one of these

Peony pompons amongst expired aliums...

She is a serious Pak Ranger in fact - a vintage National Trust field-team.

Very proud a d charming in her role...

a bit of a botanist as well...naturally

Just look at her - so alert but lipstick - impeccable!

Adorable garlicky-oniony patch close to the fence, at the edge of the forest - where I had my sandwich;-)

Idyllic and historic <3

More of some of my favourite things...

och, choices....

I love this - a public right of way , yay!
