My dolls - No 178

Finally some good news for you.
I surived all of that.
Got the address and I love it, found my first random London job and learnt (and ate) quite a lot and got places at school (and then in the right schoo close to my new place)...

here are few snapshots from Coral cheering me up while packing and accompaning me in completemy empty new place...

to be frank, yes, I have chosen this flat cause courtains were surprisingly tasteful;-)

It's pretty amazing how once it's all over and the proces of giving away (literaly) and letting go (spiritualy) is in full swing you enter another dimention of New Beginnngs and your pass troubles seem suddenly so far away...
...as well as your struggle of packing the sit away is neutraliseb by whiteness and emptines of your new flat - sooo full of potential:-)

- lets cheer ourelves with a little night guardian pony!
it's only £ 1 and is quite unusual after all;-)

Destiny wants to aard you for this efford and in another shabbiest, smelliest and random charity you find two glorious princesses.... it's so surreal you dont even thing twice and take it for a good omen as it makes you feel soooo good!!!

Removed from the box but never played with, rambling loose in their smashed scratched original boxes, out of a sudden (and this charity never has toys, as I check regularly) here they are:

Princes of England and Princes of Irealand from Dolls of teh World series!

I dont have a thing for Mackie at all  but couldn't separate them...

Luckly the combination of blonde hair and pink dress helped me to make decission but yes - English Princess is very cute (sure she will find a good loving home quick)

 

beutiful dark full lips and quality fabrics...

shoes I am sooo keeping

she has customised bended elbow hands (unsymetrical)

.....and a stand wth a certificate;-)

 

I am definitely keeping This Irish beauty (No 178) - burgundy lips, titian super long hair and pine green dress with a cape...and stylish tiata...

poor girl

this pin is everything... and look at her gray-green eyes!

I might dare to give her a fair articulated body. Maybe...

Here she is refreshed, brushed having her angelic curls naturaly drying in summer London air;-)

life is sort of good

i guess

My dolls, nr 77! / Adventures in rebodying 8.

There you go, the next doll arrival was purchased on 03.07 and is doll number 77 if you fancy some numerology... She is Ancient Greek Princes form the Dolls of the World series.
She was heavily under-priced, not described and poorly photographed so yay! my kind of doll.
She was in sad condition - as if she was displayed in Greek restaurant for years... super dusty and unloved...

here she is graceful and proud in bubble wrap..

dusty in her glory...

 luckly my grey kitchen door look rather greek-blue in full July sun;-)

 sooooooo dusty

golden gown

 and a hem:

I also happen to have an olive tree in a pot;-)

and official Barbie Collector pic..

Whats worse, her head decoloured slightly from exposure to light and turned waxy yellow while her body is milky / ivory... apparently it is quite common for this line of dolls even if nrfb...

I am never interested in displaying a doll in original outfit and styling... She has an amazing strong face ready for some urban adventure:-)

Her fancy layered dress (well made in deed) was sewn on her but fabric was protected with seam.
She had very nice hairstyle from epoque and very good jewelry indeed. I sold all of her luggage - another quilt free 'purchase'...

 diadem and snake bracelet were amazing...

Her fancy locks were stiff from 'hair product' and beyond dirty... I had no doubts if she needs hot water and shampoo...

after first dip - still up but not sticky...

tadaaaa - contemporary chic Italian lady....so happy and excited for her...

now for a new body...
nothing really was fair and yellow enough...not even Hollywood nails or Austrian Barbie you know...

Since it was supposed to be an upgrade as well I ended up choosing between Liv Sophia and Disney's Bella... both are fortunately more ivory than rosy;-)

Ok, she is a little bit mean Medusa on this one:-P

all the best dear Chiara (I guess...)!
