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...

Treassure Hunt (18.08.19)

Bootsale

She is 1983 Fashion Play (Philipines) Barbie.

I love ger humble playline charm but she also resembles all these charming classics....

As you can probably guess by her one of a kind hairline I also got a Loving You Barbie - with a yellow neckline but, what's rare, with all jewelry in tack!

(I was strng enough to resale her despite the fact that mine hes rather wobbly head,..)

She is a classic beauty and an absolute queen of the 80s!

The following Monday I got very lucky in my local charity shops....

First I stumbled upon doll I fell in love at the first sight but got hesitant as usual with all the pictures flooding flick / insta...but there she was couple of seasons later - wearing her great shoes, lovely trendy casual fashions and sporting her fab sky blue hair!
This natural make-up, timid smile and side gaze is everything!!

Next charity brought me a worn out monster...

Hahah the worst case of Disney hair hay in a long time...

...in absolutely hideous dress my daughter will love...

I'd probably not care if not her lovely small eyes and nude lips...

Her pouting lips say that she cannot be bothered too easily;-)

and surprisingly good resemblance of an actress i truly admired 

in the latest BBC adaptation of War and Peace... Lily James

She was a ball gown playline edition:

well...not this one...

(Kate Blanchet and Helena Bonan-Carter are great too and after wave of supermarket sales I really hope to get one in charity shop or at bootsale...)

...anyway back to hay her - I have no problem anymore with chopping this up down...

Here are bot of my bald Cinderellas...

....she waited for a bit but her first Not So Princesy Casual Styled WIG is finally sort of ready...
