Malta 1

 Confusion alert - very summery post!

Part 1 of our 2019 proper family summer holidays on Malta...

and yes, almost exactly one year later - as usual...

This year I took with me rebodied Fashion Fever Teresa and very 90s Hasbro Sindy's bikini!

enjoy!

on arrival - checking out room's balcony...

...more hotel details...

After we figured out everything, my missing suitcase, heat and directions we took local bus to visit the other side of the island - one with sandy beaches and blue waters

Bikini's first holidays ever and in 30 years!

Camera loves her!!

...oh multu-tasking...playing with doll, not getting sunburn, checking on kids if they are not drawning, trying to read and taking selfies..LOL doesn't sound like holidays much - you guessed!

The next time I took the same doll with us was on rocky short 15 mins walk from our hotel

(annoying to carry stuff but basically the only way to see something and get kids out of the artificial, and worse indoor!, swimming pool LOL

it was quite relaxing actually - nice snorkeling spots, easy no ladder access and semi-cloudy sky preventing me from freaking out and burning alive;-)

it even rained for a sec which is a bit funny when you are in a wet swimming suit already;-)

Luckily we had our private blue skies LOL

****

oh dear, who would ever think that the next summer will be sooo grim!

Blanca Brunette

As the time went by and my stash of hair extensions and weaves grew large but ZERO doll wiggs in any scale happen... I decided to explore my fav ebay - except of extra long pastel goodies from China I managed to find a nice seller re-purpousing hair from vintage porcelain dolls and reselling them, clean of glue for different sized of BJL.

To save my lovely pensive Blanca from being blonde I managed to get her one copper an done brunette hairset - wavy and with banks...

here is the first brief transformation...

as i will concentrate on the dark-haired one today...

Blanca looks really great in it with her fair skin.
..and as i felt guilty catching up and binge-watching Game of Thrones (not a big fan but always good to be on top of pop culture references LOL) I started to hand saw some clothes in her scale...

ENJOY!

I love the mood she creates with her photographs - pensive, romantic but a bit creepy-sad as well;-)

hahha - I had some fun with this one 

- need to elaborate a bit more but it was fun to make and good results:-)

poor girl..yes I ordered some shoes later on 

- she has three pairs now after this last summer's session

Carboot sale (26.08)

...only a week later - another Sunday another bootsale...

Good one - lots of memorable items that are in rotation all the time...

First of all set of great artist brushes and vintage but super sharp tailoring scissors in original box!
Cup and saucer matching my desert plate - original from the Queen's coronation...

and now hosting my survivor orchid - ivory pot with wicker motif....

(that is one unfocused pic, sorry)

the lego and dolls lady this time had as well box of assorted shoes and clothes...

luckily we found her at the very end otherwise i'd go nuts.... 

I got these chairs - originally to go with my spring mega vintage pack but decided to resale it after all.

I remember not agreeing to get another kitchen or bathroom set...but then i found out they were quite possibly original vintage mattels hence nasty colours and stickers. oh well...

I treated my daughter to yet another dress-up item... pussy cat of some sort - she is visibly happy to have her Halloween sorted (last year)

And my son was delighted receiving big bag of mixed lego 

- all in blue with many rare and unusual and vintage odd bits...

Doll-wise nothing shocking can happen anymore but I'm very happy!

I got myself AA Kelly

Retired but rather unique blond-haired and green eyed Camping Fun Teresa

and one and only - Fashion Fever street fashion Tokyo Drew with one of post beautiful make-ups on Lara 

and most of original clothes

Here she is very happy getting refreshed

Gorg! but i still have problem with these blue streaks...

lots of conditioner helped to define her curls despite my rather brutal brushing..

Teresa has this vintage charm I cannot resist despite her Bambi eyes and terrible fringe

Very dry and broken hair and mixed feelings abut the bangs...

Here she is in close-up and brand new!

the whole line is tacky but very easy on an eye...

Can't wait to redress and restyle poor abandoned ladies...
