Then I got more.

 These are the new dolls I got for Christmas presents..........They were all new in boxes which is unusual for me.

 This one I found in an "old curiosity shop" in Otley and bought her. She is from the late 1960s early 1970s.
I was just about to take some of them out with me this morning to photograph. Then I looked out and the world was white over with frost. So we drank a lot of tea, deiced the car and took Monza dog for a scud around for a walk.
We parked the car up in Yeadon and thought to get lunch and some milk only.

 We quickly visited the charity shops. On looking in the window of the one I volunteered in...I heard squealing and a voice stating  " The doll lady is here!!!"
This set the manager running into the back stockroom to fetch a carrier bag full of dolls and clothes. The label said simply " Sally dolls"


  
 There were loads in the bag. Some I gave them back to sell on...as I have tried (and failed) to slim down my collection by giving similar to charity myself.
So I just kept the Bratz and monster high.....and in amongst them were some little dolls too

 a monster high I do not have and some Bratz dolls.....

 Three of them are not in good condition...but never mind I can always restyle the hair. AND a Bratz doll is a Bratz doll !!! the new ones do not have the same appeal......

 There was a Ken and some modern Barbie dolls but I left them, and kept the Ken and some clothes as I do not have that many Ken dolls.

So I got loads for Christmas and then we went out for a pint of milk and I got more. Lee found a hologram kit in the last charity shop....not sure what this involves, but he was excited enough to read all the instructions and download an app for his new phone.....

so two big kids had quite an exciting afternoon. My emails came through with all the E patterns I ordered too.......

from Happy heart patterns.....



From Cat and fiddle patterns........I have new patterns... I have fabrics and I have stuffing. The weather forecast is for snow the next couple of days. Hopefully I will be snowed in and can start making up these patterns. How perfect would that be?
