Charity finds

 Ok, that's a tricky one...
One of the kind of Charity shops specialists in children stuff and always has several fashion dolls available. Had no luck in this department that time (08.03.19) but spotted something well...interesting....

Great clothes, amazing shoes worth any price and well made fully articulated body....
there was just one problem...it was spooky AF and sort of ugly but very interesting and probably sort of exclusive LOL (probably not even a toy...)

I walked away at first but 'she was still there  waiting for me;)

oh well - what can i say...

BBC 2005 was a signature i did not expect...

but the label on the dress was quite clear:

who the fuck is Novie Hame - no idea....

really who is that Nun with a cat (oh so detailed) face, lol!!??

and wearing  spy / hire-gun gloves and grear...

well Monster High - you better watch out!... hahaha

...one more session with google only to find out she is a character from the (previous) Dr Who series.

I have nooooo idea whatsoever - its so creepy i am now intrigued...

well, this is complicated...

doll wise:

so far i have stripped her, cut off her designer statement bracelet

the shoes became my favourite ones..

My Dolls No 177

This post will need to be re-edited once I'll find the pictures/fix the other laptop.

Today yet another story of a doll saving the day.
Kids were away with ex-in-laws, Uk was paralised with heat wave and I was in the very middle of the lovest time of my life...downsizing from double fronted family home in norfolk where me and my kids have already made some friends..but couldnt tay as it was too diffcult for me to work enough hours withouth having help on weekends or with school runs.... so made brutal decission to move following, once again, my ex's career change in order to have my kids growng up with dad.... looking however for new home i couldnt rent as I had no job, looking for job not knowing where I will commute from, looking for new school for my kids but again I had no address to apply for... not to mention the preassure of mythical opportunities of London somewhat not happening to me anymore with mly age and career in stay at home mum... and not to mention prices of rent in the capital...

so I've been wrapping up my preious life, donating my children memories to charity, living on my designer concept store cafe waste (croisants, goat cheese tarts and Jewel rucola salad that is LOL) but I did not think twice when I saw this leg sticking out...and that it belongs to the Brunette Sindy.... and that there is bag of perfectly ugly vintage cothes....

my last purchase in  Norwich that is...

Once I took it home and had a look through it - i felt uplifted again... knowing that there are things that make me happy and carefree and that everything is gonna be alright...
so many dolls so little time....
if she could survive over 40 years why shouldn't I and such hahaha
