Charity shop finds

 Today a testimony to my very peculiar finds.

In my favourite kids / toy charity I spotted this red-haired girl - smiling but not trying to impress anyone, wearing princess dress but also funky yellow specs!

She was not intended to look 'pretty' and she definitely was vintage (see mould on her forehead LOL?)

I absolutely love her non-commercial pointy nose!

I originally wanted to keep her and give her few adventures and situationsheis but then i thought she is too rare, specific and vintage to mess our with...also I doubt she cares about fashion much!

Musgrave 1996, hmmmm

here she is squeeky clean!

Ah, bless <3

It Has Pockets!

A perfect promo shot!

Took me ages to find who she is - then I forgot and couldn't find teh screenshots....

Definitely never heard of her but also remember dragons a bit?

P.S. the peculiar eggcup is way old - turns our Andy Pandy is 60's children's series

...maybe even 50s...

Mmmm, good stuff

'merch'

thanks!

English Rose (No. 213)

 Thanks to the local charity pages and Sindy group I was able to fetch these two vintage Sindy clones (matching with their haircolour my earlier purchase of fake patch dolls:-) 

Family sesh is definitely in order but I decided to gave the spotlight to the brown-haired one first...

It's been a sunny September afternoon (19.09.22), after dropping my sister off to teh airport, that we decided to see local attraction / green - nothing unusual - comforting English rosegarden  that turns into a forest....

I love her squeezhed face, same suspicious and timid look and that her eyes are brown!!

She is wearing an unidentified vintage dress that fits here perfectly and my childhood sweater done by my Mum one evening, just like that.

Oh, she doesn't seem to enjoy all this attention....

Very rosy cheeks....after I called her an English Rose.....

Human loves non-green leaves....

Yes, the cottage garden part is done...lets go to nearby woods...

Oh look at her, channelling RedRidingHood vibes out of a sudden... 

Oh, scary a bit?

....it's such a big big forest....

EEEkkk...and on top of that some odd structures....

ah yes, much better

Red & White

 Finally!

A premiere for my lockdown Fleur = straight from Netherlands....Dog know if this poor 80s girl had ever photos of her taken...

Please enjoy Sindy (Starlight) and Fleur (Aerobic) sporting Red&White 

as a theme of #monday4dolls Instachallenge with BellaBellaDolls (30.11.20).

Traditional flatlay for good beginning.

...which is somehow always inspiring enough to create a whole diorama 

around the motive or colour palette...

Oopsie...busy morning I guess...

yes, almost ready now...

Tadaaaam

Ready to see her colour-coordinated bestie

and few solos...

Ready for her close-up...

Later same day...

It's time to sleep now..

Quick run through plans and memories...

Good night Sindy!
