Christmas diorama 2021

I really enjoyed this one.

Kids were away with Dad this year, I tested positive for Corona but still managed to see my Boyfriend.

In other words - lots of quality time to spend and enjoy.

My fav cookie cutters from Brighton in the main role.

Preparations to decorate the Tree.

et voila!

(however blurry..)

I finally remembered about these

Oh, baubles and some gifts!!!

Yum!

At last time to read, sherry and choc cake before sleep LOL

Lots of details...

...and some elegant hjoomans!

..yes, you understand me...

Ah yes, Chateau d'Mattel 1959!

Happy Holidays!

Oh, I really enjoy photographing boys nowadays!

....but girls can wear golden shoes (evenif living in Liv body)...

More portraits now...

Cheese!

(I just realised this gold chiffon doesn't photograph too well - brown paper very much so...)

Sorry I'm late!

And together..if I manage to get the focus right with this ceiling lamp

...and then - A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE!!!!

better late then never - I got my dolls mini led lights (for bottles)...on post-christmas sale LOL

Oh my, this is soooo beautiful!!

Vintage mailday

 One of the perks of the early lockdown was the fact that barely anyone had been willing to buy stuff out of someone else's house... This way I got myself two cool sets of doll clothes...

This is how they have been advertised on ebay:

i did not open them immediately as I had too much fun with dolls, looking for new job and you know - home-schooling LOL but here it is! Taddaaaam

Yes, rather exciting..

...few for my young daughter for sure...

Here we go... tidy whites

...the blouse possibly from this set...

Very 80/90 Fresh Prince kinds jacket (more pyjamas me thinks)

It has been produced in different colours as well, internetz says

Also this unidentified but very fabulous 80's puffer...

and hippie frotte chic tropical beach set

Docuemnted on line to belong to Sindy but not number or packaging photo available

This is so precious - something we would wear as preschollers in 8's LOL

This is a full set and it is called 1979 rock'n'roller

Obviously bought from a collector - beautifully packed yet random vintage Sindy accessories...

These are mostly handmade but somewhat stylish...

This colour combo always makes me think of Bermuda Fleur doll

These are so bloody exciting! but i keep forgetting I even have them lol

...so fiddly

...which brings me to the study of accessories packs, hmmmmmm

Yes, and a combo of original yet mixed up headscarves/ bandanas....

fiddly again for both children and adults...

Ah look - how lovely!

...and jacket we all wore in 80's...

...just like the alpine ski one...but blue, hmmm

///which is quite odd as it's the second time I have this one.
and it appears to be from 1981 separates

The nautical fashion but green has a tag and I managed to find some references...

***

The second pack was full of vintage pink label...me gusta!

off shoulder one i have in lighter pink and turquoise but can't find the reference pic atm

Some sort of a cousin of 1985 fashion?

Then this shocking pink petitecoat / sleepwear...

sae lace as the lingerie set that took me ages to identify (can't find again LOL)

gee...i'm stuborn...found it again....

 Fancy Frills Lingerie Underwear Mattel 1992 #3474

anyway...more doll cutties...

yes, this calls for another episode of Doll Bride Fest..

It's been a while...

Oh I love lil detective job...
