OOAK No. 211 Relocking

 Today a walk in Vauxhall / Embassy Gardens with my new favourite - my first properly rerooted and restyled  Barbie - the whole process of deciding between sisters to sheering and needlework...

Really happy with the outcome but I remember I walked too far and it has been too hot...







Quite a sharp contrast of light and more people than anticipated so tried to be secretive in shade...



I must comeback - it's a really great big city & green backdrop location for dolls!



...here she is indoors...not that i could control the lighting whatsoever...wish blogger was more interactive and I could edit pics within the post....


Here she is freshly from 'under the needle' as we say in Polish...




Rerooting.,,it's a night thing...




...so much drama!



...the messy bit...



...bare but full of potential...

National Trust Sindy

 Today a great memory of last summer. A proper cross country road trip so to speak - through the fields, forests, mansion and a town - in-between one rural train line to another.... Box Hill / Dorking to Bookham via Polsden Lacey....







Oh, so dreamy <3



I had so many miles to cover that I rarely has energy to produce my doll.
A walled garden in bloom is surely one of these






Peony pompons amongst expired aliums...




She is a serious Pak Ranger in fact - a vintage National Trust field-team.



Very proud a d charming in her role...




a bit of a botanist as well...naturally


Just look at her - so alert but lipstick - impeccable!



Adorable garlicky-oniony patch close to the fence, at the edge of the forest - where I had my sandwich;-)




Idyllic and historic <3



More of some of my favourite things...





och, choices....



I love this - a public right of way , yay!
